Now that's what I was about to ask. As it would be quite difficult to develop obesity at MIT or Harvard cause you've to walk hard even if you want to get something to eat

Missed the emoticon, did you?

Yeah, added it after realizing that It'd be making more sense if It's taken as a laughable opinion

Is this the same gene they were going on about 15 or 20 years ago? If you looked beyond the hype on that one the extra calories it caused your body to store instead of burn/day were equivalent to chewing a stick of regular vs sugar-free gum a day.
A change in metabolism that small isn't going to magically make me or anyone else not fat.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I'm sure nothing will make you not fat, but it may work for others...

Went to the animal shelter today.
Unfortunately the cat I wanted and which had been at the shelter for months got taken away two days ago...
I had seen most of the cats on the website already, so I knew who they were.
One of the cats was especially enthusiastic when I gently started petting her.
When I told the care-taker I wanted that cat she was surprised because Nika wasn't so good with people.
Her previous owners brought her to the shelter because they had no "click" with Nika and the care-taker sometimes had to wear gloves around her.
She's been hiding under the couch all day, but I've been able to reach her and she just loves to get pet!
She cuddles my hand and starts purring like crazy!
She wasn't so friendly to my friend who was with me today
I just forced her from under the couch (I lifted it, har har) and she's now carefully exploring the living room.
Can't see her (she prefers it that way for now), but I can hear her cleaning herself.
I have a feeling Nika and I are going to be great friends

What? You haven't even given it a bath yet?

Of course not. I prefer a shower!

At this point in the relationship it would have to be a toilet bath;
1) List lid put in detergent
2) Insert cat and close lid immediately.
3) Wait for commotion to subside.
4) Flush and wait for newly created commotion to quit.
5) Stand back lift lid carefully to release cat.
6) If you didn't get attacked celebrate by having an adult beverage.

My grandkids actually tried that one recently, it will be a while before the shredding heals. They got no sympathy from the parents and had to explain in school where and why they got shredded.
My response that they should stand back from the toilet when opening the lid next time was not found amusing by the parents.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

Yeah when you let them out it is at your own risk and you better stand back out of the way.

I know, right?!
Anyhow, my wife found them on the side of the road, we took them to the vet, paid the $$$, and now both cats (all black) are healthy, prospering, and part of our family. They play with the kids and sleep at the foot of our bed. Nice.

Before you get entirely down on the human race consider the possibility that a feral mother may be the culprit. That's certainly how I got two of my cats.

Yeah, but then it's called nature and circle of life and all that

You really don't like cats, do you?
I think 9 out of 10 times I prefer cats to people
Let me put it this way, I have yet to meet a cat I don't like

We got 2 cats. They came with the wife. I do not mind them if they keep their distance but the one seems to have latched onto me. The more I try to push it away or tell it to get lost the more affectionate it becomes towards me. Dumb animal. The wife just laughs at me. I just hope a coyote gets it one day.
