Education

Education’s purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.
Malcolm Forbes

I just saw a feature from a CBS morning show on, “Why dogs chase their tails.” Can we not watch dogs chase their tails without having to probe the psyche of the dog? I have this notion that some school’s veterinary science department received a large grant to explore this probing question.

The conclusion was that the dogs that chased their tails had much higher cholesterol than those that did not chase their tails. What a bummer! I thought they did it because it was fun. Maybe fish don’t chase their tails because they have all that fish oil?

My brother has very high cholesterol. Would he chase his tail if he had one? I like to think he would do it for the sport of it, and not because he eats too much bacon.

This important study raises more questions than it answers. Do people who enjoy Sudoku puzzles eat more legumes?
