The cat that knows when people are going to die (new window)

The cat is mentioned in the first paragraph.

/hot linked for awesomeness

the eidolon: The cat is mentioned in the first paragraph.

Exactly. It might not be on the list, but it is FAR from conspicuously absent.

Unless you mean it was conspicuous because it was right there in front of us, yet not on the list. In which case, you are a genius.

Where's the dog that shoots bees out of its mouth?

oh you mean the one that when it barks it shoots bees at you?

What an informative read.

Wow, that was unfunny even for Cracked

All cats know that.

Lew Stool: The cat that knows when people are going to die

I can't help but wonder if the cat's 'power' wasn't necessarily the ability to tell when people are going to die.

I like cats, but just keep that farker away from me while I'm sleeping and I'll be I'll miraculously be fine.

My dogs have superpowers. They are alchemists. They convert 50-lbs of dog kibble into somethings else each month.

See?!

It's already affecting my higher functions in recalling grammar and spelling.

Back, cat!

Ebenator: Wow, that was unfunny even for Cracked

PS: Everything sucks.

Oh god why why why can't I search for dobie-o-matic without turning safe search on?

A couple years ago, I thought they were training dogs to smell cancer. Haven't heard much since. I wonder if the idea was abandoned.

I considered my own version. I figured if I could teach a Beagle to smell the herpes on people, I'd have something way more useful than fetching the paper.

FTFA: The ring-tail cat has taken "cat-like agility" to an absurd degree, routinely performing cartwheels on narrow branches in order to change direction, rotating their feet up to 180 degrees, and climbing up cervices in rock by ricochet-jumping back and forth between each side.

Is this the plural of cervix?? Damn! You Farkettes had better watch out!

Just a brief note to remind all Farkers that if they are working in an office or other NSFWish place on the Sunday before Labor Day, they need to find less crappy jerbs.

Sure there's a cat that knows when you are going to die, but what about what you see when you die (new window)?

moar funny pictures

Mantis shrimp are the only known animals with hyperspectral colour vision. Their eyes (both mounted on mobile stalks and constantly moving about independently of each other) are similarly variably coloured, and are considered to be the most complex eyes in the animal kingdom.[8][9] They permit both serial and parallel analysis of visual stimuli.

# Smashers, on the other hand, possess a much more developed club and a more rudimentary spear (which is nevertheless quite sharp and still used in fights between their own kind); the club is used to bludgeon and smash their meals apart. The "punch" delivered has roughly the acceleration of a .22 caliber pistol.[5]

The Platypus does not fly in the face of evolution. It's actually a great example of the transition from reptile to mammal would have been like. It's got a lot of distinctly reptilian features, like the egg laying, and venom spikes, but also many mammalian features. Its still amazing, but nothing that is out of line with the theory of evolution.

Yeah, I know. I'll probably start looking for another one next week though.

And I can say with some confidence that this is an old article. It didn't really teach me anything new anyway. It does make me wonder what creationists make of monotremes though, that has got to throw a pretty big wrench into their stupid ideas.

My ex-wife was a biatch withthe ability to empty my bank account. Does that count?

Which is good, because no one wants a platypus flying in their face.

Cool list, but fails for leaving out Mantis Shrimp and Pistol Shrimp.

Essentially, it can kill things with a sound wave.

His ass is gonna blow!

Every square millimeter of a gecko's footpads contains 14,000 tiny hairs, called setae, each of which branches into around 500 little tiny "spatulae" so small that they are below the wavelength of visible light. Using these invisible, atomic micromicromicrofibers, geckos are able to harness van der Waals interactions on a molecular level, sticking to almost every known surface outside of Teflon. Their grip is so strong, if it used all of its gripping power at once, a single adult gecko could hold aloft 290 lbs.""

Yeah way.

Bat's echolocation is also crazy.

There's nothing out there which is out of line with the theory of evolution. Thats why it not falsifiable.

Interesting new use of the word "absent".

For those of you who missed the link on the page (under the archer fish), repeated here (new window) for your viewing pleasure, about one of the most successful snipers in history with 705 confirmed kills. Makes for an interesting read.

Is this the thread where I say I'm too cool to have found that funny?

Also: vrod2028, Jesus Hell farking Christ, what the hell is that? I'm gonna see that thing in my nightmares.

But the Pistol Shrimp can create light thru force...


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pistol_shrimp

The snapping shrimp competes with much larger animals, like the sperm whale and beluga whale, for the title of 'loudest animal in the sea'. The shrimp snaps a specialized claw shut to create a cavitation wave that generates acoustic pressures of up to 80 kPa at a distance of 4 cm from the claw. The pressure wave is strong enough to kill small fish.[7] It corresponds to a zero to peak pressure level of 218 decibels relative to one micropascal (dB re 1 μPa), equivalent to a zero to peak source level of 190 dB re 1 μPa at the standard reference distance of 1 m. Au and Banks measured peak to peak source levels between 185 and 190 dB re 1 μPa at 1 m, depending on the size of the claw.[8] Similar values are reported by Ferguson and Cleary.[9] The duration of the click is less than 1 millisecond.

The snap can also produce sonoluminescence from a collapsing cavitation bubble. As it collapses, the cavitation bubble reaches temperatures of over 5000 K.[10] The light is of lower intensity than the light produced by typical sonoluminescence and is not visible to the naked eye. It is most likely a by-product of the shock wave with no biological significance. However, it is the first known instance of an animal producing light by this effect.

What about the cat with hands?

bolzy: Disgod: but nothing that is out of line with the theory of evolution.

Uhhh, actually there are many ways to falsify evolution.

1.) Find a fossilized bunny or any other modern animal in Cambrian or Precambrian geologic layers. Or find any organism in a geologic layer which is older than when the organism was supposed to have evolved. For example find a dinosaur in a geologic layer which is 300 million years old. Or find a feature in a fossil from a feature which could not have been around during that era. Ex. A organism with bones in the Precambrian era.

2.) Find an organism with absolutely no ancestors or genetically close relatives. Something that has completely unique DNA, shared with absolutely no other organism.

3.) Find anything, be it a physical structure, chemical process, or anything else in an organism that could not have evolved in stages.

4.) Find some portion of DNA which can never be mutated, ever.

These are just a few ways you can falsify evolution, and the list just goes on. The theory of evolution is 100% falsifiable, and you saying it isn't just shows your ignorance of the subject.
