Even before the frog bit the guy's thumb, I was telling Kat2, "That frog won't keep doing that if it figures out the bugs aren't real." Sure enough, he went for the tastier morsel. Animals won't keep doing something if there is no reward in it. [grin1]

exactly. animals are not as stupid as humans can be.
I had a psych class in college. The TA brought a rat in. The rat was trained to press a button and get a "pleasure shock" and a food pellet. She did not bring the pellets with her so after 2 or 3 button pushes the TA had to close off that part of the cage. She didn't want to untrain the rat.

This is Karoline Herfurth, a German actress who has appeared in such films as Perfume: The Story of a Murder, The Reader, and We Are the Night (the latter two of which I have seen).



The caption reads: "Other people her age shuffle to college."



The caption reads: "Every freckle on her face tells a story; for example, this one: As an 8-year-old, she was a street musician in Venice along with her parents. She played the recorder."



The caption reads: "It makes you sweat just watching Karoline Herfurth (Perfume) at work. How can a 23-year-old do so much? Today comedy, tomorrow tragedy; she hardly sits down before she has to get up again!"



The caption reads: "Just look, don't touch: Ever since she was 17, Karoline Herfurth has had one and the same boyfriend. His name is Simon and naturally, he's no pot-smoking rock star but rather a medical student. That's fitting, since she also has a low opinion of smoking and drinking."



The caption reads: "Normally she finds it incredibly irritating 'to express deep human emotions with little gestures.' But she can also act in other ways; for example, she can brush people off in an entirely friendly yet cool manner. Friendly and cool -- what a combination!"

Monique: To all those hunters who kill animals for meat, shame on you! Just go to the store and buy the meat that is made there. At least then no animals will be killed.
Tina: From your lips to God's ear.
Pablo: You two aren't exactly the sharpest tools in the shed, are you? How exactly does the meat get to the stores, Moni?
Monique: The meat is produced there so that no innocent animals need to die.
Pablo: Dear God. Please tell me that I don't actually know such people. *edits friends list.*
