Could someone please send this along to the folks in Tayside for me, they might not have ever heard it... 'Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled, Scots, wham Bruce has aften led, Welcome tae your gory bed, Or tae Victorie! 'Now's the day, and now's the hour: See the front o' battle lour, See approach proud Edward's power - Chains and Slaverie! 'Wha will be a traitor knave? Wha will fill a coward's grave? Wha sae base as be a slave? Let him turn and flee! 'Wha, for Scotland's king and law, Freedom's sword will strongly draw, Freeman stand, or Freeman fa', Let him on wi' me! 'By Oppression's woes and pains! By your sons in servile chains! We will drain our dearest veins, But they shall be free! 'Lay the proud usurpers low! Tyrants fall in every foe! Liberty's in every blow! - Let us do or dee!' |

An extract from a Bacterial Comparison experiment. Carried out by Lauren E Palmer. This is her CALIFORNIA STATE SCIENCE FAIR 2005 PROJECT SUMMARY Drool and Saliva: Is a Dog's Mouth Cleaner than a Human's? Objectives/Goals My experiment was to determine if an old saying had foundation in fact; "A dog's mouth is cleaner than a human's." Last year, two kids in my class were quarreling about whether or not a dog's mouth was cleaner than a Human's. Ever since then, I've pondered if canines had cleaner mouths than humans; for this year's science fair experiment, I have decided to find an answer to this question. Methods/Materials I swabbed saliva from twenty-five dogs and twenty-five humans with variables reduced as much as possible. To see how much bacteria was in my participants' oral cavities, I put some of each participant's saliva on a specially prepared blood agar plate, diluted small amounts of the original saliva 1-3 times (depending where it was placed on the agar plate), and then put the dishes in an incubator for 72 hours at 98.6ºF. Every 24 hours, I checked the bacteria colony growth (while wearing gloves), counted the amount of bacteria colonies on each section of the agar plate, and recorded my data. To compare results, I created a control group by putting an agar plate with no saliva on it in the incubator (no bacteria grew). Results Canines had consistently lower averages of bacteria growth compared to humans, and very few reached the highest category of growth (growth in all three segments) whereas most humans reached the highest category. Humans all had growth on day three, but 28% of dogs had no growth at all on day three. Unlike most humans who had a total of at least 250 bacteria colonies on their agar plate, most dogs had 100 and below. Conclusions/Discussion To my surprise, the mouth of man's best friend was cleaner than his master's. So the argument against the poster is flawed.....its official  Makes for pretty interesting reading. . |

While you are there could you please drop off a large box of common sense and tolerance. I suggest that many of those who object to a picture of a trainee police dog will have a different point of view should it be necessary for him to be brought to their assistance one day. |

That Dog is much to cute for Police work, he should go into PR..... Or event management or maybe even enter Scotland's next top dog competition. Some things are wasted on me, I never will understand when we gave up the country..... I must be the biggest  phobe in the world.Aw, fuck it. Tony |
