Life's Little Mysteries
Time to start the ultimate stupid resource thread. This is the place to put your questions. You know the type...the ones that should be obvious, yet are inscrutable and frustrating. We'll post our questions here, and hope for answers, serious or otherwise.
Here's mine to kick things off: On the way to work this morning, I saw the happiest dog in the world. It was a boxer, sitting in his master's lap, in the driver's seat, flying down the the highway with his head hanging out the window, ears flying in the breeze and a trail of saliva spewing out in the wake. This dog looked as if he could go for 10,000 miles that way. I swear, he was smiling. So, can anyone tell me...why do dogs like to go down the road at 70 mph with their heads hanging out the window, yet hate it so much when you blow in their faces?

Must be a different kind of dog, 'cause both of mine love my stinky morning breath.

Therefore we can deduce that dogs like the smell of automobile exhaust better than the smell of people breath?

It also has to do with the pack mentality -- the topdog blowing in the face of a subdog is not a happening deal.

Dogs are totally smell-oriented, and when it's going 70mph the smorgasbord of smells are like a sensory overload.

Not to mention the fact that they pant to cool themselves off, and at 70mph, all the effort is taken out of the panting. They're lazy. Just like us.

Speaking of dogs, why are dalmatians supposed to be associated with firefighters? What the hell good is a dog in a fire?

the dog can go into a burning building to clear it of recalcitrant cats.

Firemen spend most of their time in the firehouse.

Dogs are lower than the smoke and can find things we can't see for all the smoke.
