Once upon a time you were just one of three if I remember correctly.

Indeed, I'm now the token amongst the sea of heteromales on Reader Ran. While RR has female members, we don't have regular female posters. Hmm

Wait, did I just make an assumption it was his wife? Hamish didn't specify...

Just checked...MY wife's still in the next room. Hmm
Just how HAWT is this brother of yours, Hamish? LOL

Rick, try to control yourself! ROTFMOL

Given that we're twins, I gotta say he's pretty damn hot.


What can we do to help you stop screaming?

Yeah but Illinois will always be "The Land of Lincoln" at least until the SovCits force us all to use their fake license plates.

Oh, no... dry cough, too?


You never change things by fighting the existing reality.

All the funny looks?

University of Chicago study on empathy in rats

There is a growing body of research showing that animals respond to the emotions of others. But it wasn't certain whether rats could suppress their own greed in order to aid another rat.

Following a two-week introduction period, pairs of rats were put inside an arena. One was trapped inside a central restrainer, while the other roamed free in the larger space. By day six or seven, on average, the roaming rat learned to free the trapped rat.

When chocolate was introduced to the mix, there was no difference in the time taken to free the trapped cage-mate, despite pitting freeing the trapped cage-mate against getting a tasty treat. Furthermore, the helper rats did not eat all the chocolate chips. Instead, they often left a few chocolate chips for the trapped rats to eat upon release.



Clearly, Trumpers are not even as good as rats.
