Oh, the one on dog breeds reflecting the character of their owners is, to put it mildly, hilarious. What they say about collie owners is the opposite of me, and what they say about toy and terrier owners is pretty much the opposite of my housemate who owns an English Toy Terrier (known as the Manchester Terrier (Toy) on your side of the Pond.

Is the link to the wallets & purses article correct? It took me to an infographic about what happens in 10 seconds in the world.

Thanks! Fixed...

I did a spit take on Boehner's comments myself. Having lived most of my life under the NHS and only a few years under the US system, I don't really see why people think it's so great.

I'm not sure I completely buy the origins of dogs as being as recent as 30K years... humans had been in Australia more than 45,000 years and we need to assume they brought the dingo with them.
