Cats that bark; Dogs that meow? Brazilian student Cassia Aparecida de Souza, 18, claims her cat's offspring has been born with dog traits last Friday, three months after mating with a neighbour's dog in the Brazilian city of Passo Fundo. [...] And on a trans-species procreation note: Mythology expert, Candidate of historical sciences Alexander Guryev says that animal men were the result of buggery, sex contacts between men and animals, which were quite typical of the ancient epochs. The expert adds that many people believed that they descended from animals: Tibetans believed they descended from monkeys, Hindu believed that horses were their ancestors and people in Thailand thought they descended from the dog.

  • Cat chromosomes: 38 Dog chromosomes: 78 Odds of this being real: Not good. The interspecies reproductive barriers go beyond chromosome count; cats for example are induced ovulators, and male cats have spiny penii to stimulate the female enough that ovulation occurs during intercourse. In scientific terms, a dog's wang just isn't equipped for that.
  • ...also: Researchers have no complete centaur skeletons, but lots of skeletons of upper and lower parts? That makes sense, given that the upper part is human and the lower part is horse. Sounds to me like a drunken archaeologist just can't find the rest of the horse or human...

  • I felt kinda naughty watching it:)
  • I CANNOT believe they are going to dignify this by doing testing. As if there could possibly be any scientific validity to it. Perhaps it's time to get out the white sheets and make up a sign ___________ The End of The World Is Coming ___________
  • So did they do it... ...DOGGIE STYLE???????????
