A cat transforms his anxiety into affection

Like when he's taken for a car drive, which may not be his most favourite activity, he will want to be petted and stroked in order to calm his anxiety and/or stress. In this case, do give them attention, it will make your ride more fun too. Also this only works if you let them loose, if not, they want affection but they are stuck in a cage so all they do is meow.

The newest punctuation is: the interrobang, ‽

it's a question mark and an exclamation mark at the same time! It is also called a quesclamation mark. It helps mark surprise and question in texts. A sentence ending with this new punctuation means you're asking something in an exciting manner.

The cheated always gets mad at the cheatee.

The girlfriend will get mad at and hate the girl/guy with whom her boyfriend/girlfriend cheated on her with. Why? Because she feels like her partner has done no wrong and it's all the cheatee's (person who was cheated with) fault. She or he forced her partner to cheat (so she thinks). This is also valid if the girlfriend is a boyfriend, of course.

The catch: A is a man, B is a woman.

Exhibit 1: If A loved B really much, no matter how much a person flirts with him, he will stay faithful to B.

Exhibit 2: If A doesn't love B that much, he will fall into temptation or worse he will flirt with another person and cheat on B.

The person A cheats on B with, is irrelevant. It could be C, D, E or Z. That person doesn't matter because he or she was in no way responsible for anything. This person most likely does not know B and is not the one cheating on her. A is. Thus A is the one and only one B should get mad at. If A really loved B, he wouldn't have cheated. Since he did, B should question A's love and faithfulness instead of wasting her time blaming C, D, E or Z.

I hope that this will help you in your future disastrous situations, although I do not wish them upon you.

When cats want attention they will do stupid things

...Like vomit everywhere, pee on your pillow right in front of you, break things,... So in order to avoid all that, just give your cat love and attention every day. And both you and your cat will live a happy peaceful life.

There is no El Dorado

There was though. There was a man near Bogota who would cover himself with gold powder yearly and then went to the center of the lake Guatavita. Whilst he was praying, people would throw gold objects and precious stones into the lake. When the Conquistadors came they found the lake, drained it and found the jewels. However, they were disappointed because their discovery didn't live up to their expectations -they wanted MORE stuff. So they made a story up of a land faraway in the Andes called El Dorado which overflew with precious stones and metals.

El Dorado was found. There is no such thing anymore as it was obviously pillaged by the Spaniards.

Guys with girlfriends can't be friends with girls.

It just doesn't work out. Either because the girlfriend is jealous of the girl, or because the guy is too scared to tell his girlfriend that he is allowed to have girl friends. After all, a great man once said "women are men with boobs" hence making us super men and superior to you. You can have boy friends, you can have girl friends. So let's be friends?

Also, I seem to be girlfriend's worst nightmare. I don't get it. I've never stolen a guy nor ever wanted to. That's pathetic I don't even want a boyfriend. Silly boys... Well I guess there's nothing to do about it.

SINGLE BOYS: let's be friends.

Cats don't like to dirty their mustaches

which is why their food bowls are shallower than those of small dogs. And which is also why you may find the center of the bowl being empty but not the sides when you have given your cat a bowl that is not shallow enough. There IS a reason for specialized cat and dog bowls.

Relationships aren't easier for gay couples.

It's apparently an urban myth that gay couples have it easier because well men know how men work and women know how women work. It doesn't work that way because not all men and women work the same way. It's called a stereotype for a reason: it should be taken lightly but not believed.

Turritopsis nutricula is immortal.

Drugs have gone to a whole new level, digital.

iDosing. Say anything to you? it's a digital auditive drug which you can only listen to through earplugs, best lying down and in the dark. It involves having binaural beats -sounds of two different wavelengths playing at the same time- which gets your brain a bit confused. It's supposed to have the effects of Marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine, and also orgasm. Now, whether or not it works... I've heard both stories.

Breaking the stupid laws doesn't feel wrong

It actually feel right, because in your opinion it's the right and correct thing to do! so, as long as you don't get caught breaking them, go for it! Stupid laws include most speed limitations, not being able to drink on the streets, tagging ugly things, and many more...

Mayans were gifted in scientific subjects

Mathematics, architecture, astronomy,.. By the way, they say that on december 21st 2012 it will be the change of an era. This, for them, meant that there would be catastrophes such as famine, wars, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, etc, but not the end of the world. On top of this, if you pay attention to the news, all of these things that they predict for the change of the era are already happening today, so no need to panic, it's going to be the same, maybe just a little worse. NOT THE END OF THE EARTH.
