Accidental animal crueltyI once invented a brilliant game - I'd sit at the top of the stairs and throw cat biscuits to the bottom. My cat would eat them, then I'd shake the box, and he would run up the stairs for more biscuits. Then - of course - I'd throw a biscuit back down to the bottom. I kept this going for about half an hour, amused at my little game, and all was fine until the cat vomited. I felt absolutely dreadful.
Have you accidentally been cruel to an animal?
This question has been revived from way, way, way back on the b3ta messageboard when it was all fields round here.

EnzymeI had heard that the thing about bumblebees being unable to fly was an urban legend, but just now I found out that the buzz is actually produced by their flight muscles, not their wings beating. Which of course explains how they can make the buzzing noise while not flying. They're quite literally warming up the engines for flight!
