    ""It was a terribly severe winter in New York, the city was completely covered with snow. Inhabitants were well-off and warmly dressed, and walking slowly along roads because cars, due to mountains of snow, could not be operated. I was happy that I could walk on top of the snow on avenues of white. "All my physical effort was spent on walking. To this day, pictures of huge apartment houses on both sides of the avenue are instilled in my mind, and the doormen quickly closing and opening entrance doors as though trying to prevent humanity and warmth from escaping. "On top of the snow, I noticed a brown cat emerge from a side street and walk on the snow. I looked closer, and to my surprise, saw that this big cat was being followed by six small brown-and- white kittens, all of them following the big brown cat in a perfect line. The mother cat looked back from time to time to see if her babies were there, but her main concern was to reach the entrance door. I presumed she was trying to find warmth for herself and her children, but as soon as she reached the door, a man in a well-pressed uniform, jumped at her with a broom and chased them away. I followed this procession and prepared to deliver a speech to the doorman. I opened my mouth and tried to complain, 'Where is your proverbial American generosity? Where is your American good heart and fair play? Let them in. Let them in!! "I tried to speak, but the words would not come out. Maybe I was afraid of the doorman with the broom. I started searching my cassock pockets for a piece of bread, found some crumbs and put them on my palms, calling: 'Kitty, kitty, kitty.' But the words would not come from my supposedly intelligent mouth. Instead, the wind blew the crumbs from my palm and I said, 'what can I do? I can't speak to the cats. I can't speak to the doorman. But there are many hungry birds. They might pick up the crumbs.' "Again, I walked after the cats, now with a pain in my chest, feeling treme

    Estas cabras son explotadas como cortahierbas, pero aunque utilitarismo, no se puede decir de buenas a primeras que las maltraten, pues ellas disfrutan comiendo, a sus anchas. Pero la idea de que no son libres puede atormentar a bastantes. Se comen la hierba seca de Google durante una semana. Decidieron cambiar por cabras a los cortahierbas humanos y contaminantes con sus máquinas de tubo de escape. Son 200 y las dirige Jen, que es un perro, border collie para más señas.

    "Winston Churchill said in the 1930s, "Fifty years hence, we shall escape the absurdity of growing a whole chicken in order to eat the breast or wing, by growing these parts separately under a suitable medium.""

  • have developed intelligence, emotions, and individual personalities. Their findings are challenging our understanding of consciousness itself.
  • more than 95 percent of all animals are invertebrates,
  • Athena’s suckers felt like an alien’s kiss
  • ...25 more annotations...
  • an octopus can taste with all of its skin
  • but first they go senile, acting like a person with dementia
  • Octopuses die after mating and laying eggs
  • “You’d chase them under the tank, back and forth, like you were chasing a cat,”
  • Octopuses in captivity actually escape their watery enclosures with alarming frequency.
  • Some, she said, “would lift their arms out of the water like dogs jump up to greet you.”
  • How do you prove the intelligence of someone so different?”
  • Small brain size was the evidence once used to argue that birds were stupid—before some birds were proven intelligent enough to compose music, invent dance steps, ask questions, and do math.
  • BIOLOGISTS HAVE LONG NOTED the similarities between the eyes of an octopus and the eyes of a human.
  • Three-fifths of an octopus’s neurons are not in the brain; they’re in its arms.
  • “It is as if each arm has a mind of its own,”
  • Octopuses have the largest brains of any invertebrate
  • the skin of the cuttlefish Sepia officinalis, a color-changing cousin of octopuses, contains gene sequences usually expressed only in the light-sensing retina of the eye
  • In other words, cephalopods—octopuses, cuttlefish, and squid—may be able to see with their skin.
  • “Home,” Mather found, is where octopuses spend most of their time. A home, or den, which an octopus may occupy only a few days before switching to a new one, is a place where the shell-less octopus can safely hide: a hole in a rock, a discarded shell, or a cubbyhole in a sunken ship. One species, the Pacific red octopus, particularly likes to den in stubby, brown, glass beer bottles.
  • octopuses who dismantle Lego sets and open screw-top jars.
  • This octopus wasn’t the only one to use the bottle as a toy.
  • not only can these animals play with toys, but they may need to play with toys.
  • researchers who cut off an octopus’s arm (which the octopus can regrow) discovered that not only does the arm crawl away on its own, but if the arm meets a food item, it seizes it—and tries to pass it to where the mouth would be if the arm were still connected to its body. 
  • “Octopuses,” writes philosopher Godfrey-Smith, “are a separate experiment in the evolution of the mind.”
  • the natural lifespan of a giant Pacific octopus is only three years
  • Except to mate, most octopuses have little to do with others of their kind.
  • we have to change the way we think of the nature of the mind itself to take into account minds with less of a centralized self.”
  • “I think consciousness comes in different flavors,” agrees Mather. “Some may have consciousness in a way we may not be able to imagine.”
  • This time I offered her only one arm. I had injured a knee and, feeling wobbly, used my right hand to steady me while I stood on the stool to lean over the tank. Athena in turn gripped me with only one of her arms, and very few of her suckers. Her hold on me was remarkably gentle.

    Si ven al perro de la foto, no duden en avisar (puritito.tomate@gmail.com). Puede estar en Valparaíso o en Viña, donde vivió antes (Caleta Abarca). Ahora estaba viviendo con Juani en Playa Ancha. Me preocupa porque es un perro que puede ser usado para pelea, o lo pueden matar (como ya han intentado) porque da mucho susto si no lo conoces. Es un guardián ideal, que se limita a asustar al bandido. Es leal como el solo. Debería vivir en lugar con mucho espacio. Esta castrado. Aquí hay un vídeo también:
