A friend of mine sent me an email message containing the following comment...
"Our closest living relatives are the chimps and gorillas.
Both of them have 13 pairs of ribs. Human beings have only 12 pairs. I wonder what happened to the other pair...... "
I really know nothing about these matters but I was wondering if it is true, do the apes have thirteen pairs of ribs?
Yes. But much more mysterious is, that they have already more hairs than man too.
And don't forget that chimps have more lip than... What's that singers name again....?
NS: "I wonder are we really something beyond an animal kind?"
What does the question mean?
NS: "I'm asking about my difference with a cat. Whether it is like the differce between a dog and a cat or between cat and a chair?"
There are distinct similarities between the feline and the female. For one thing, they both start with 'f.'
Cats are alive. They have souls. Chairs are not alive. They do not have souls.
"I'm asking about my difference with a cat. Whether it is like the differce between a dog and a cat or between cat and a chair?"
Dear Smart,
I could state the following to your question:
Cats and dogs fight together.
Men fight amongs themselves but, some others
control their feelings.
Cats and dogs never, unless they are "specially" trained by man to do so.
So man is behind controlling man or animal.This is the difference between cats dogs and man.
Man makes the chair and controls its stability requirements.
Cats and dogs have not shown this ability,or have they?

NS: "I'm asking about my difference with a cat. Whether it is like the differce between a dog and a cat or between cat and a chair?"
The way you phrase that leaves me wondering what you mean.
hell-in-hell is to a cat as a dog is to a cat
or
hell-in-hell is to a cat as a cat is to a chair.
If the first analogy holds then hell-in-hell seems to be a dog.
I am not sure what holds in the second case.
NS: "I do have soul too! So my difference with cat is not as great as the diffrence between cat and chair."
So there you go.
NS: "Those differences you mentioned put me in different class in compare to cat and chair but does it make me a very special creature? Am I divine?"
Many women think they are goddesses. Many men are eager to worship these 'goddesses.' But in my humble opinion, you are not divine, but human.
NS: "Well I ws asking which one holds!"
Well, I do not think you are a dog... not even metaphorically speaking. The problem is that I do not know what to conclude from the other analogy... hell-in-hell is to a cat as a cat is to a chair. Is there, perhaps, some third option?
>Dear Stefanides,

Yes, it is a wonderful thing to seek a Great Light...
"The people that walked in darkness, have seen a great light: to them that dwelt in the region of the shadow of death, light is risen."
Oh, yeah Jaeger.
Cats are a really bad choice, they have little frontal development, and if anyone here had ever had a cat, it is obvious that the ownership went one way, the Cat owns the human, and is quite willing to collect multiple humans, or simply walk away and never come back, in fact one of the reasons the SPCA is so adamant about cats being spayed, is simply feral cats create a disease pool that has no access to a Vet.
I suppose there are women like that.... mostly in Peru
