Dogs don't eat carpet, they poop on it, then roll in the poop. Eating poop makes up for the lack of nutrition in carpet fibers, but they lick the poop spot to add fiber to make them poop more.

I was on the way home from picking up the grandkids at school this afternoon when a news item came on the radio that got us talking about written language. I mentioned to the grandson that while humans have been around in their modern form for at least 200,000 years, written language only goes back roughly 5000 years. He thought about this for a moment, then said "I guess people are kind of stupid, then. It took them 195,000 years to figure out how to write."
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Out of the mouths of babes. He'd provide some interesting youthful insight here, but since he's smart enough to figure out how stupid Man really is, undoubtedly he'd figure out that "over there" some apes haven't evolved.
While I'm thinking of it, all dogs have a common ancestor, the wolf. This is because Man bred wolves selectively until we had work dogs, then continued until we have today's breeds and wolves are still around. That raises the question; since Man "evolved" from apes and they're still around... who bred Man?
Somebody ask the kid, I'll bet he knows.

He did, at least, get the math right.

All that, and it's a good guess he doesn't know anthropology. Modern Man's brain is smaller than those of his ancestors so it took a while learning to read and write without any schools. Since the ancestors went extinct, Neanderthals with a little help from Homo Erectus, one with a larger brain didn't beat him to it. Anyway, the kid is brilliant, so if he were one of my teachers I wouldn't think back on all the CRAP I learned in high school, it's a wonder I can think at all.
Yeah, I stole another one... somebody STOP me!

Before the thread there was Stephen Hawking, at long last the thread quoted him saying that very thing.
