Segaholic2: I'm trying to keep the forum alive
Segaholic2: Hah :P
Segaholic2: No dog people so far
gsilverfish: the internet favors cats
gsilverfish: there's no "infinite dog project" for instance!
Segaholic2: What
Segaholic2: There's an Infinite Cat Project?
gsilverfish:
http://www.privatehand.com/infinite/
gsilverfish: err
Segaholic2: What the hell is this
gsilverfish:
http://www.infinitecat.com/
gsilverfish: it's pictures of cats looking at other pictures of cats
gsilverfish: into infinity
Segaholic2: Ohhh... Kay
gsilverfish: also the classic,
http://www.mycathatesyou.com/
Segaholic2: I like that site
Segaholic2: Haha
gsilverfish: I think that cats appeal more to internet types
gsilverfish: you know, you don't have to walk them
gsilverfish: if you want an indoor outdoor cat, you just leave the door open
Segaholic2: Yeah, our cat is mostly outdoors
gsilverfish: low maintenaince
Segaholic2: But I just like cats better
gsilverfish: I read an article in a book
Segaholic2: Never had a dog, so maybe that's why
gsilverfish: it was a collection of articles from magazines some guy had written...
gsilverfish: Natural Acts, by.. David... Quammen xD
Segaholic2: What's it about?
gsilverfish: the article was about a top list of animals, as voted by focus groups
gsilverfish: dogs were number one, of course
gsilverfish: but cats were like, 13, and several animals that would surely be less likable were rated higher!
gsilverfish: the reason, he surmises, is that while everyone likes dogs
gsilverfish: you either love cats or hate them
Segaholic2: Everyone likes dogs? I thought a lot of people hate dogs the same way a lot of people hate cats
gsilverfish: so no one voted against dogs, but many people would have deliberately placed cats low, because they hate them.
gsilverfish: I believe it is worse to hate dogs than to hate cats
gsilverfish: a person who hates dogs is truly black and evil on the inside
Segaholic2: Lol
gsilverfish: a person who hates cats is just wrongly informed
gsilverfish: bad experiences
Segaholic2: Hahaha
gsilverfish: doesn't think Garfield is funny
gsilverfish: it's understandable!
Segaholic2: Garfield isn't funny
gsilverfish: exactly!
Segaholic2: XP
gsilverfish: maybe he's the only cat they've ever known!
Segaholic2: Bah!
gsilverfish: Bah! You disagreeeee?
Segaholic2: Not really
gsilverfish: anyway
Segaholic2: Interesting way to look at it, I suppose
gsilverfish: I suspect that on the internet you will find more people who like cats
gsilverfish: but off the internet, you'll probably see a better show for dogs
Segaholic2: Mmmmaybe
gsilverfish: just because of who is on the internet and who is not
Segaholic2: I thought cats were the most popular pets in America
gsilverfish: most popular or most frequently owned?
gsilverfish: dogs are harder to own in the city after all
Segaholic2: I don't know, is there a difference?
gsilverfish: I dunno
gsilverfish: I bet a lot of people would like to have a horse, but it's not really an option
gsilverfish: or I dunno
gsilverfish: a dolphin
Segaholic2: Lol
gsilverfish: maybe that's their favorite, but it ain't gonna happen!
