A few years ago there was a story about a Russian cop who asked a friend to stab him in his bullet-proof vest. Sadly it had the same results.

The lion's roar made my sack shrivel like a punctured balloon. If thats the effect i get through a PC screen, i take this guys gonads are now uselessly lodged beside his spleen.
MiloMorai Posted June 19, 2018 Author Posted June 19, 2018 Was walking by the lion compound at the Toronto zoo one day and there was this roar. Looked to my right and there was this humungous male lion standing against the glass. The girlfriend and myself used each other to steady ourselves as we walked away. I bet the lion was laughing at us - scared some more two legs.

MiloMorai Posted June 19, 2018 Author Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) Especially when big cats come out of nowhere. If a video does that to you then you would have been spitting them out your mouth in real life. Edited June 19, 2018 by MiloMorai

toysoldier Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) I shared a link about Musk the other day, apparently the Millenium Maverick has a sustained disregard for safety in the work place. Disregard that he'll now extend to the world at large Edited June 19, 2018 by toysoldier

Congratulations, you and her are the result of countless generations of proper natural selection, your genes KNOW to steer clear of big cats I was visiting the National Zoo in DC many years ago when the Bengal tiger let out a low rumbling growl. A million years of natural selection told my brain "Bad, RUN!". I was surprised how the primal instinct kicked in even though I had never heard the sound before. I had to chuckle.
Stuart Galbraith Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) There is a theory that there are latent memories in the human brain of past trauma's. For example, there are many, many sightings of black cats in the UK than there ever can possibly be cats, and the theory goes, what we are seeing is some innocuous animal, a small cat, dog, maybe even a hare, and our brains are filling in the expectations of what we expect to see. Rather a Nigel Kneale style explanation, but it dovetails nicely with what you felt, that it was DNA coded to run away from Tiger's because they are bad news. Probably explains quite a lot of Cryptozoology when you think about it, from Lake Monsters to Chupacabras. Edited June 19, 2018 by Stuart Galbraith

Stuart Galbraith Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 I worked for a well known British 'industrialist' whom was cited by many as the next Brunel. He was a bullshit artist as well. Happily he didnt have a poor safety record, but it wasnt for want of trying. Happily he solved the problem of injury in the British workspace by offloading all the industry to Malaysia. Musk strikes me as a typical silicon valley self publicist. Or Robber Barons as they used to be known in a more civilized age.

Stuart Galbraith Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 I noticed that my chickens were exceptionally bothered by Buzzard's flying over my back garden. Now logically there is no real reason why they should be. Nobody told them to be worried about Birds of Prey. Ultimately they did meet one fairly close up (he realized they were bigger than he thought, so ultimately them alone), but even before that, they were hiding from them by reverting to type, behaving as jungle fowl they once were and hiding under the hedge. I noted that similarly meerkats at the local zoo were doing the same thing, both on the horizontal (actually looking through people or so it looked) and up at the sky. They hadnt a fear of a predator in a 50 miles, yet still they looked for one. So yes, I can entirely believe we are similarly programmed. And its long established we dont actually always see what we think, we see what we expect to see. Or sometimes, we see what we fear to see. We should have stayed up in the trees, we were far better suited to them than all this civilization malarky IMHO.
