Many animals get cancer just like humans do, but there are a few mysterious species that rarely develop it.... A few animals don't seem to get cancer very often, or at all. Understanding why could help us treat it, or even prevent it.....

Gadzooks, cancer ain't the real problem... rust is--

And, of course... lack of booze for lubrication!

More exceptions than not, I would think.

Just the thought of Hillary au naturale is making me ill!

Maybe we could get Huma to give us a detailed description so we don’t need pictures?

[The_Media_never_lie]

No exemption for Huma. I feel her pain.

[PoloSec]

Yeah but liberal logic 101 would conclude someone in your neighborhood smokes... Believe It!

IOW, when you get old, fat and wrinkly run around nekkid and you won’t get cancer.

In the last 10 years, I have had 4 dogs pass on. Two from cancer, lymphoma. One old age. And one had a heart attack or something.

No smoking here.

I smoke. 5 dogs in 40 years and several cats. Only one dog, the pet store buy, developed cancer at age 9. Three dogs died of old age (12-13) or stupidity (beagle chased a racoon onto thin ice and drowned). One cat just keeled over outside at around 10 years old. One lived to be 19, the present one is 19 and going strong. Present dog is 3+ and healthy.

I am skeptical about 2nd hand smoke. As to 1st hand smoke, I’m nearly 73 and just fine. DH is 64+, doesn’t smoke and is fine. We both had parents who smoked.

Video that brings home your point. http://youtube.com/watch?v=OOgd9hitEAE
Not suitable for some work environments, but you won’t need eye bleach. Matter of fact, some parts may serve as eye bleach, to help recover from the Hillary posts.

At least the gals in the video were smokin’.

Glad you found the relevance. LOL

[The_Media_never_lie]
