Are we obligated to take care of our elderly parents? I was not aware of this.

"In any case, this is pretty much the cutest thing you will see today, because there is literally nothing cuter than an animal doing human things. Nothing."

I dunno. Sometimes a human doing animal things is right up there. Have you seen some of the grown ass men who dress as bronies in their little purple horns and…

Well this one can build bombs and guns from all the junk just sitting around your space ship. So I think you're on to something Mark.
