Honestly this is how we got our last cat. He showed up at a BBQ and I gave him some ham. Next day my wife opened the back door and he just strolled in. She does not like cats and is afraid of them. She called me at work to ask what she should do. I told her to leave the door open and he might walk back out - and I would be home in 2 hours to pick him up and put him out. I got home 2 hours later and he was curled up sleeping on the sofa next to my wife. She looked at me and said "I guess he lives here now". I went out and bought food and litter.

Most of my cats I acquired that way. Or they acquired me, as the case may be. "Scruffy" a long hair Tuxedo, just showed up one day. Made a beeline for the food then found our bedroom and went to sleep. That night, he hissed at me every time I even looked at him. Yet, in the middle of the night I woke up to find his head resting in the palm of my hand. I didn't dare move. Next morning I woke up again, he was still resting there but hissed at me. This time very unconvincingly. Taking him to the vet was an adventure. Unfortunately he died of a heart problem 5 years later. I was inconsolable. Later, while browsing an adoption website I found his identical twin. We got in the car and drove two hours to go get him. We returned with him and his Calico sister. They are still with us. He also sleeps in the palm of my hand, even though he is 22lb now. Big boi.

The first night Scruffy 2.0 spent with us, he chewed through the particle board accessing the unfinished basement. I had to sit by this opening with a improvised fishing pole, a string and toys or treat at the end. Cat fishing. Finally, on day 3 I saw his pink nose investigating (we put water but no food there). Still we couldn't get him upstairs and I didn't fit downstairs. We had to rent a humane trap to get him back. I changed the door to plywood and deck screws after that.

Dogs joined packs with humans for food scraps and campfire warmth. Cats wisely waited for us to invent fireplace screens.

Read about Taxoplasmosis - a disease that you get from parasites in Cat's feces. It usually is asymptomatic, except for the side effect of liking cats. It has two life stages, one which it passes inside cats, and the other inside mice. Mice are infected from cat feces, and then wander off, and try and make friends with a cat, which eats the mouse, and infected. So it brings food to cats, and enslaves humans for cats. Mice, though, get the short end of the stick.

You think that's gaslighting, wait until you find out about toxoplasmosis, the brain-controlling parasite that tells humans that they don't mind the smell of cat pee, and makes them want to stay indoors all day instead of going out and meeting anyone other than their cat. Sound like a lot of Bored Pandas?

That's how we got our cat! We moved into my step dads house and asked what the cats name was. He said Kitty and didn't have the heart to tell us she was a stray.

I mean, I feel like at least a part of humanity has evolved this thing called "compassion", and especially for helpless creatures that seem to mimic our own cries for help. Babies are babies, and honestly, can anyone say that if an elephant wandered into your back yard in need of food that you wouldn't be inclined to feed it in the least?

Melissa Church, the woman behind 'Bad Science Jokes' has been running it for about a decade now and it has definitely changed her life.

"It may seem crazy, but I think about BSJ a lot," she told Bored Panda. "Most of my free time somehow revolves around it as well. I have to actually tell myself 'No 'Bad Science Jokes' for a bit.''"

"I have spent a third of my life working on it."

Melissa said she has already annoyed most of her friends with the, "Hey can you help me with a joke/post?"

"My family write to me things that [they] relate to it. It's a nonstop production," she added. "On the plus side, I have learned a ton. I completely believe that humor can help you remember something, and I am proof of that. "

There might be a lot of truth to that. A Pew Research poll revealed that viewers of humorous news shows such as The Daily Show and The Colbert Report exhibited higher retention of facts than those who got them from newspapers, CNN, Fox News, or network stations.

Neuroscience research suggests that humor systematically activates the brain's dopamine reward system, and cognitive studies show that dopamine is important for both goal-oriented motivation and long-term memory, while educational research indicates that correctly-used humor can be an effective intervention to improve retention in students from kindergarten through college.

I asked a schoolfriend what gay meant. He said, pointing to a wall, "If two boys were behind that wall kissing, that is being gay." For a while I thought you had to have a wall involved in order to be gay.

'Bad Science Jokes' boasts the biggest following on Instagram, where it has 600,000 fans. To reach all of these people, Melissa employs pretty much everything the platform has to offer.

"To be honest, I think the best performing feature is the Carousel (multiple pictures in one post)," she said. "I have to divvy up the types of content to remain appealing to followers and to better appear on newsfeeds and explore tabs."

"Instagram will hate me, but I don't think reels do all that well on the platform," she added. "At least not with my audience. Of course, there are a handful who prefer it, and for certain types of content, reels work far better. Instagram's typical users are just not as into the short-form video content."

And get yourself a Masters along the way, then every time you learn a new skill (like hammering a nail in the wall) you can say "I mastered that pretty quick". Of course you could stay a confirmed bachelor all your life too.

I have a recurring dream every year or two that I learn to fly like Arthur Dent, by throwing yourself at the ground and missing. You then sustain your disbelief in order to remain airborne. I'm always so sad when I wake up. I've had that dream at least 10 times and am impatiently waiting for the next time.

Just select 2. In a class of 25, at least 3 boys (who are most likely best friends) will select 6 just to be funny. That's over your 10% right there, and it doesn't include those who would actually need the 6 points and therefore would select it.
