seriously.. i fucking hate this expression. every time someone tells me this i wanna cut their eye lids off and feed them sleeping pills. if it wasn't for mankind's natural human instinct of curiosity we wouldn't have progressed as far as we have now.. and thats the problem with people these days, thanks to little smartass remarks like this it keeps people from wanting to be curious, wanting to learn more.. I wanna know the history of this phrase and who coined it. i also wanna know a slick comeback phrase for the next person that says it to me because.. well.. the whole "eye lid sleeping pill" thing didnt go over so well with the last person.. lol.
The only way people will learn is by failing first. If people are afraid to fail, then their curiosity will never win out.
I hate the phrase "think outside the box" Why the fuck don't you "think outside the box" yourself and come up with a NON-cliché way to say that....
Yeah...thinking outside the box has never been one of the phrases I've enjoyed either. Who coined that one by the way? I'd like to think of a way to put them in a box six feet under ground.
Satisfaction brought him back My boss tried to pull it on me today, people usually shut up when you respond with that.
Haha, when I saw this thread, the first thing that came to mind was my friend's band/solo musical project; Kuriosity Killed the Kat. James is a pretty good musician, but he's a huge junkie. He's a DXM junkie who smokes like it's his job. He's also blowing coke and heroin now. It's only a matter of time before he hits the end. Tattoo /pointless reply in a pointless thread
"Curiosity killed the cat....but satisfaction brought it back" I always wondered where the where the BS belief that cats have 9 lives came from. Cat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I know this is a horrible question but in this case MY curiousity may indeed kill the cat. "This disregard for safety is common in animals of cats' size and smaller. A cat is about the largest animal that can fall from any height with a significant chance of survival. Their surface area to volume ratio is generally large, and consequently their terminal velocity when falling is fairly small. Their bones are less calcified than in larger animals, so they can elastically absorb more energy." What is the height required for a cat to not survive a fall? Is his terminal velocity not high enough to kill him? Therefore rendering the average cat invulnerable to death through falling? Curiousity killed the cat... they didn't say who's curiousity it was!
All I need to do is remember when I arrived home to one of my cats crying for me after being stuck behind the fridge for god knows how long throughout that one day, and I realize why that statement was conjured up in the first place.
One of the tree guys I used to work with has rescued something like 600 cats out of trees, and a few other co-workers do the same thing from time to time. (you charge $100-$150 for a rescue usually). Anyways, they all tell stories of cats jumping out of trees from some crazy heights. I'm talking 60, 70 feet. The cats hit the ground and just keep on running, though sometimes straight into a wall... Dan Krauss, he is starting Cat in a tree rescue.com at some point to create a national database of tree climbers around the country that do cat rescues. He also takes great pictures and is making a cat in a tree calender
what in THEEE hell is it that allows these cats to jump down from far above only to run straight away?? its amazing.
Their bones are less brittle and thier body weight-to-mass ratio. That'd be a cool site for your friend to put up Fiddy. I'd visit that one.
