People you all have unanswered strange questions... So post them here... My first Question is
Why isn't there a mouse-flavored cat food or a cat-flavored dog food?

I mean shouldnt there be flavours our pets like enough to chase?

I believe is was originally called 'catsup'. But that doesn't help...

I heard a thoery that the word ketchup was originally a word thatwas similar to the word for "sauce" in a different language, and then somehow morphed into ketchup.

isnt it interesting that we humans used language to communicate and in effect connect us with other people, but that bridge called language also serves as a barrier? i mean, look at the animals. a german shepherd and a chihuahua could communicate with each other without inventing language. but a mexican and a german couldnt possibly communicate unless they both have taken up a common foreign language...

Too true but they also use body language and different types of barks.

well they do seem to understand each other, unlike if human beings cmmunicate that way, they obviously have a hard time. but that could be attributed to the fact that the human language is more complex than animal language and hence not everything could be communicated through body language. although its quite interesting that what ought to be a bridge also acts as a wall...
