Is Chocolate Poisonous to Dogs?

Is chocolate poisonous to dogs?

It turns out that, for dogs, a chemical in chocolate called theobromine is the source of the problem. Theobromine is similar to caffeine. According to this page, theobromine is toxic to a dog when it ingests between 100 and 150 milligrams per kilogram of body weight.

Different types of chocolate contain different amounts of theobromine: It would take 20 ounces of milk chocolate to kill a 20-pound dog, but only 2 ounces of baker's chocolate or 6 ounces of semisweet chocolate. It is not that hard for a dog to get into something like an Easter basket full of chocolate eggs and bunnies and gobble up a pound or two of chocolate. If the dog is small, that could be deadly.

For a human being, caffeine is toxic at levels of 150 milligrams per kilogram of body weight

Infants are especially vulnerable because they don't eliminate caffeine from the bloodstream nearly as quickly as adults.

I grew up in the 80s, so like every kid who grew up from the 60s on, I grew up with Charlie Brown and the rest of the Peanuts gang. I remember pouring through the Sunday comics at my grandparents’ house, just to find my favorite comic strips. Among them was Peanuts. Of course, I loved the Peanuts television specials. There was the original special, A Charlie Brown Christmas. Then there were specials for every other holiday including Thanksgiving, Easter, Valentines, and who could forget, Halloween?

Chrome's inner workings--and an Easter egg

Google's Chrome browser has as Spartan a user interface as possible, but the browser's Omnibox also turns out to be a window into a much more elaborate view of the browser.

Happy Easter
For you non-programmers, there's an Easter egg, too: type "about:internets" into the Omnibox. I'm not going to be a spoilsport by revealing what happens, but here's a hint: Ted Stevens.

• about:memory shows how much memory the browser--and any other Web browser--is using. Conveniently for Web developers, it also shows how much each Web site in a browser tab is using.

• about:stats shows a wide range of internal measurements such as the time taken to initialize Chrome, load Gears, or perform various operations while running JavaScript programs with Chrome's V8 engine. The page also carries the amusing note, "Shhh! This page is secret!"

• about:network tracks the detailed network activity of using a Web site.

• about:histograms graphs various performance measurements

Google Chrome "about:" Easter Eggs!

Google Chrome's Full List of Special about: Pages

You already saw Google Chrome's humorous about:internets Easter egg, but reader nettleman points out that Chrome's got several special about: pages that reveal all sorts of interesting information about what's going on behind the scenes. Here's the full list, with screenshots.

about:memory
about:stats
about:network
about:internets
about:histograms
about:dns
about:cache
about:plugins
about:version

Update: Mawin adds that you can also go to two special pages on a per-site basis. view-cache:[URL] shows you some under-the-hood cache details, and view-cache:[URL] shows you the page's markup. (Though you can view source by just right-clicking on a page and choosing, um, "View page source.")

You Mac and Linux users, here are some about: page screenshots:

If you love fashion, parties, art (honestly, who doesn't?) and live in New York City, you'll be excited to know about a new photo exhibition opening September 10th.

Famed photographer Mark Seliger’s 401 Projects and Visión Cultural presents Vanity Fair’s Fashion and Style Director Michael Roberts first photographic book exhibition, ‘Shot in Sicily.’

‘Shot In Sicily’ highlights Michael Roberts’ unique and complex vision of Sicily – its people, traditions, and landscape – far beyond the fashion world and spanning a period of twenty years. His camera captures the beauty of youth, temple ruins, traditional Easter parades, and the theater of daily life, artfully conveying the allure of Sicily.

The exhibition will be open to the public from beginning September 10- October 18, Wednesday to Sunday 10 am-6 pm. Roberts will also be on hand for a one time event to sign ‘Shot in Sicily’ in the evening on September 10.

10 Fun Ways To Piss On A Flower

1. The Red Hibiscus Urinal

3. The Brown Shell Urinal

4. The Daffodil Urinal

5. The Red Tulip Urinal

6. The Easter Lilly Urinal

7. The Cal Poppy Urinal

9. The Calla Lilly Urinal

10. The Orchid Urinal

Below, the Orchid Urinal is installed in an expansive bathroom. Placed next to a mirror, you can see two images of the Orchid.

Clark Sorensen didn't think that he would become a world famous urinal sculptor when he was in art school. He didn't even begin his professional career as a sculptor, but as a costume designer and, later, a computer animator. But one day, as he was peeing into a urinal, it occurred to Sorensen just how dull it was to pee into the unimaginative, common urinal day in and day out. Now, five years later Sorensen is known world-wide as an incredibly talented sculptor, particularly for his grand homages to "the pee"
