How did you react to the grim offering of the elderly cat, though? Did you observe due ceremony, and consume the avian flesh in full sight of the subordinate animal - thus validating the cat's social status in the colony by accepting the life it had to take, as ordained by the ancient laws of nature? Or did you scorn the sacrifice and discard it, condemning the ageing indoor feline to leave this world never having done enough to satiate the thirst for blood of its masters?

Oh, I of course praised and thanked him for being so considerate and gave him the proper rubs that these kinds of things necessitate. Then when he wasn't paying attention, I snuck the dead bird outside, discarding the corpse into the bushes.

So, a bit of both, I guess.

I have to admit, I'm still quite impressed how the old bugger managed to catch that bird.

It’s more that they rescued it. Avocados were designed to be eaten by large animals that were able to excrete the relatively gigantic seeds, including, I think, the woolly mammoth. After most such large herbivores died out, the avocados were unfortunately left without adequately-sized behinds to spread their offspring, condemning them to the evolutionary pile of failed ideas. Humans in general, however, have adequately-sized hubris for just about anything, so they began cultivating avocados for their own use, saving them from extinction.

There is an aspect of invention in that the modern avocado has a much higher flesh to seed ratio compared to the wild ancestor. And the wild ones are still around, so they're not extinct.

also, there is a growing market for the crop as an oil crop, and not just as fruit. This should only expand cultivation, since less desirable fruits can be turned into oil just the same.

(It's got a pretty high scorch tolerance (smoke temp is ~520F, where canola is ~400F), and is less bad for you than many other oils that can handle the heat. I use it to pop popcorn. Works great.)

So the quote function is totally broken now and doesn’t lead to the quoted post anymore.
What happen?

[Sirus]

That, is an excellent question.

[Egan_BW]

I must be depressed because I feel weird and I'm incredibly irritable today. I also just want to go home and lay down.

[Dunamisdeos]

Maybe you're just weird and in a bad mood, and also tired from shredding your body with push-ups.

[Hanslanda]

That is also possible.

[Dunamisdeos]

I am frequently weird and also have bad moods sometimes, it is normal. Worry not.

When a post is nuked, the ID is still reserved for it and so links to it lead to the place where the post would have been if not for it being nuked. Usually visible in that thread I don't touch.

So, in essence, I broke the forums.

Go me!

Nah different guy, this was before your time.
Similar name, though.
