    Well, maybe it should, but it definitely isn't.

    I thought you could if you showed them your ring (of bright water)
    .
    Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    I hear you can't really tame wolves, either.

    But I suppose you might be able to teach them a trick or two



    I definitely know that you can't train stick insects, 'cos I've tried.

    Well it depends on what you try and get them to do.

    Fetch you the newspaper? No.

    Look like a stick? Yes.

    You can probably train them to be fetched by a dog though, huh?

    Don't think that's a good idea. For some reason our dogs really enjoy eating the occasional bug.

    I've seen one of them eat flies, she just grabs them out of the air. 'tis fascinating.

    Well im going to take care of one and my brothers are going to handle the others I found that they are completely harmless. The one I picked likes to crap all over the place but it's to damn cute to resist. It likes to go in my pepsi box so I put napkins all in it and put food in a small shot glass and water in the other.
