You should never ever get into an argument with a cat about what time to get up in the morning.
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

But if you do confront a cat, they often say:

Why does everyone on "Dancing with the Stars" shout like a banshee all the time?

It occurs to me if centaurs existed they would have a complete extra set of organs (excluding brain and primary sexual organs)

Would they work together as supplements or backups? Could human nostrils supply enough airflow to the equine lungs to support such a large creature? Could they possibly have a hidden set of nostrils? Or would they be facially re-configured to have an adequate nostril size?
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

It occurs to me that you may be ingesting non medical marijuana.

Besides, centaur nostrils might look like human nostrils but they would have turbocharged centaur necessitational capabilities and would be more than sufficient for their intended purpose.

Eating would also be a problem; humans cannot chew and process hay and grains horsed eat (and centaurs were often pictured eating breadand cake and drinking wine) but, given the size of a centaur, they would have to be constantly eating to support its girth. Add to this the fact that horses need a large amount of fiber in their diet (as I recall), I wonder if humans could assume enough of that as the horse half would have intestines and food processing capabilities.

You people! Next you'll be quibbling over whether Atlas had his head against Australia or Southern Africa!

I'm watching this news conference about the armed madman on the loose in Maine and feeling so much heartache for all my family and friends up there, meanwhile the headlines remind me that there is an armed madman on the loose in my own state after shooting his wife in the face Sunday morning while his children ran terrified to the neighbors house, and all around the world of course there are madman stoking fear and hate and violence on mass scales.

And I get shit for being angry at misogyny and thus a nasty woman.

Given all the damage Matthew Perry acknowledged doing to his heart over decades of substance use disorder, it’s sad that he didn’t know or wasn’t advised by his physicians that spending time in a hot tub or sauna was potentially deadly for him.

While flipping through a supermarket circular I misread an ad for uncured bacon and now I can't stop thinking about unicorn bacon.
GAH!

That’s actually a thing, but it’s sweet not savory:
