Yep. Pitbulls account for 66% of all dog related fatal attacks in the US, while only being 6.5% of the total US dog population.

Pitbulls are freakin dangerous, like a ticking time bomb. You never know when they'll go ballistic and attack someone.

I think any dog has the potential to go Buddy Rich if triggered, but the Pits, Rots, Chows have the size to do the real damage. There's a reason that many homeowners insurance companies will either exclude animal liability or not write you if you have these 'dangerous' breeds.

Agreed.

Pitbulls with the right owners can be good dogs, wouldn't have one around small kids but other than that they can be good dogs.

There are a lot of dogs I wouldn't leave alone around small kids. On the other hand it's a case by case basis for me. I'm comfortable leaving mine alone with my nieces and nephews. She let's them put hats on her.

This is dramatic. They are represented so highly because they are often unfortunately trained to be extremely aggressive. Pits raised with a normal upbringing end up like any other dog.

Stem cells are controversial depending on where they are harvested...at least it was. That controversy may have been born out of misunderstandings, though.

I love living in an age of brilliant people accomplishing miraculous outcomes.

I saw a show ... maybe 60 Minutes... about the guy leading Harvard’s research in this area. They can now take skin cells.... convert them to stem cells.... and then into specific organ cells..... mind blowing. The guy was kicked out of Duke because he wouldn’t go to class because he only wanted to do research. Harvard caught wind of it and invited him up..... I forget how long he’s been there now , but he’s an old guy

Grant Williams only played the last couple minutes of garbage time after the Rockets had pulled away. He hit a 3 pointer from the corner and a couple of free throws, not bad.

Tired of the current run or do you have something lined up?

Man, I just need to get away from contract work. The way my mind functions, I spend too much time thinking about the next slew of gigs after the current one ends. Money's not so much an issue. I'm just craving long term job stability.

Need my services? ;-D
