This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The dogs sweating one seems like a quibble. I think what most of us heard/understood is that dogs can't sweat (because of the fur), so they use their mouths/tongue. Okay, apparently they can sweat through their foot pads, but since those are on the ground I doubt they're getting much evaporative cooling there. This says they regulate temperature through panting, which seems awfully close to the "myth."
