    I've trained my pet flea to jump from one platform to another every time I ring a small bell. As a test, I tore off his hind legs and subsequently rang the bell several times. My flea never jumped. Conclusion: Fleas hear with their hind legs.

      It could be possible that your flea missed the simultaneous "Bell" Events :laugh:

        The hind legs could contain the part of the brain that processes sound. How many fleas can we test with?

          I'm not fat because I eat too much and refuse to exercise. I'm fat because of hormones.

            Skinner would have concluded that tearing off their legs made them disobedient.

                Tearing off the hind legs of a flea changes the pitch of a bell nearby which makes the flea hear it different or not at all (follow up research necessary).

                            Yeah, that guy gets prison over several charges of dis-flea-guration, not a fancy jacket.

                            Anything that could possibly go wrong in some moment, will definitely go wrong in the worst possible moment...

                                This is true. According to the bible, only man has the capacity for evil. Unless you're either not a christian or are an evil heretic pretending to be a christian, you will speak no other opinion.

                                      Hmm. So, like gongfu ("kung fu", if you watch stoopid movies) and karate experts have to declare their hands as weapons, you have to declare another part of your anatomy, which releases lethal gases. Quite right, too!

                                        Hmm. So, like gongfu ("kung fu", if you watch stoopid movies) and karate experts have to declare their hands as weapons, you have to declare another part of your anatomy, which releases lethal gases. Quite right, too!

                                        I feel insulted, but I'm not sure why...

                                          "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!" It wasn't a hazing accident! It was a barracks full of vegetarians!
