The worlds strongest dog record is held by a whippet.

^ The dog is a bully whippet meaning she has a rare condition causing triple muscles.

There called farrowing crates, they use them to stop the mother pigs from laying on the piglets but they also can use them for holding pigs. The pigs can not turn around, they can only stand and lay down. They are very cruel to the animals, basically the battery cage for pigs. They are popular across pretty much the entire world.


I know they exist, I just did not think they were that common. They are illegal where I live, at least.

Cartoon Facts!

Courage the Cowardly Dog

The episode "The Great Fusilli" is the last episode of season one in the show Courage the Cowardly Dog,and ends with a scene in which Courage is controlling the dead bodies of Muriel and Eustace in an attempt to keep his life as normal as possible.The more you think of it,the more physcological it becomes.This scene implies that after season 1,all episodes of the series are nothing but thoughts Courage is having.It implies that Courage has gone mentally insane and made himself believe that they are still alive,and is trying to make us believe that also.

CTCD has fascinated me after seeing this,specifically the episode You're not Perfect.I suggest looking up Courage the Cowardly Dog psychology to delve further into the world of Courage.The show seems to have a deeper meaning once you think about it.




The Rugrats

The babies in Rugrats don't exist,and are figments of Angelica's imagination,as a result of her mother ignoring her and the relationship with her father is shallow and parasitic.In reality,Chuckie died along with his mother.which is why Chaz is a nervous wreck.Tommy was stillborn,which causes Stu to sit in his basement all day making toys for his unborn child..The DeVilles had an abortion,and Angelica did not know the gender.She created the same character twice in her
head,one for each gender.

That didnt exist, that was a THEORY!!!

She says it’s been so long
She can’t remember when
The mention of his name
Didn’t make her feel again
That anything is possible
And every day’s a brand new start
And love’s something powerful
When it finds a willing heart.
There’s a keeper for every flame.
There was someone in his past
That he hasn’t gotten over yet
Each day is like the last
He just misses what he can’t forget
It’s just an empty space
Where something used to be
Now he guards the gate,
but he’s lost the key
So no one enters, but no one leaves
There’s a keeper for every flame
.
