PastaJoe Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Cats can detect smells from a couple miles away. Our indoor cat got out and was missing for a couple days. We searched the neighborhood and the farm field behind our property with no luck. The vet suggested we put her litter and some clothing outside so she could find her way back. After doing that she came back from the farm field in an hour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The viruses in the air fall to the ground in the summer because moisture makes them heavier. In the winter, they circulate more in the air which makes it easier to pass person to person. No. This is actually one of the stupider things I've ever heard. The reason is that cold air is generally drier, which dries out your mucous membranes, which weakens your first defense against airborne infections. That, and you spend more time indoors, in artificially heated, drier air...which not only weakens the first layer of your immune system but also puts you in closer contact to other people, which makes it easier to spread illness. But viruses don't "absorb" or "get coated by" or interact with water vapor in any way that makes them more or less susceptible to being airborne. That is...

Viruses are too small to settle out of the atmosphere. Droplets carrying a viral load can settle out of the atmosphere - for example, when you cough, you distribute droplets over nearby surfaces, including the faces (and nasal linings -mucosal membranes) of people nearby. But viruses do not. And, in fact, viruses aren't typically transmitted through the air. They're transmitted by touch - you touch a contaminated surface, then touch your face (and you probably touch your face once every 10 minutes, on average.) If the doctor were correct, you'd get sicker in summer, because surfaces would be more contaminated as viruses settled out of the atmosphere. The doctor's an idiot. He probably read and completely misunderstood Lowen, Mubareka, Steel, and Palese (2007). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Bills Fan Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 TIL in 1994, Hulk Hogan's agent left a voicemail saying, "I’ve got a grill and I’ve got a blender, which one do you want to pick?" Hogan couldn't answer the phone because he was picking up his kids up from school so his agent offered the grill endorsement to another client, George Foreman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) TIL that the A&E show Live PD, is not technically live, it's filmed several hours before going on air. My brother was watching one night when they happened to be covering an area where his son, my nephew, works for the fire dept, and they were showing an accident scene. My brother texts his son asking if he's on site. His reply was that it was filmed earlier that day, and to keep watching, because the driver/suspect was going to run. Sure enough, several minutes later, the driver/suspect starts running. Edited November 30, 2019 by Just Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know whether this had anything to do with scent, but a few years back our neighbors went on vacation. My wife was supposed to keep tabs on tabby. All good until the nut job mother-in-law decided the cat would be better off at her home for the rest of the week. Cat got to nut jobs home a few miles away and immediately bolted. Somehow found it's way back home days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
