More Insipid Factoids from the 'Vator

Or "Elligator", as Thing 3 calls it.

Yesterday's factoid: researchers determined that dogs are (significant)% more likely to bite children than adults because the dogs are concerned that the children might take their toys or food.

My question -- did they interview a statistically representative sample of dogs or did they just interview their own dogs? Because you can get a skewed result if you only, say, talk to celebutante purse dogs and don't get enough labs in there.

Also, maybe the dogs just recognize that children taste better. You know it's true: how many times have you gobble up baby feet? And how many times have you put adult feet in your mouth? (Not counting your own feet. See last post.)

It is scientific fact that children are more juicy and tender. Again -- mutton versus spring lamb. You know what you'd choose.

My own dog? She informs me that she is 83% more likely to throw up on a clean part of our carpet than on the hardwood floor, where it won't stain.
