I don't think any less of you at all. No one can fully control what they witness or experience. It wasn't a situation where you could speak up or change anything. Thank you for sharing what you did.

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) is a science fiction novel by Arthur C. Clarke which was developed concurrently with Stanley Kubrick's film version. The story is based in part on various short stories by Clarke, most notably "The Sentinel" (1951). Kubrick collaborated with Clarke, and together they first concurrently produced the novel version that was released after the film.

The HAL 9000 computer symbolizes the progress of technology. It represents many apprehensions about technology. First, HAL is an artificial intelligence – it can mimic all of the thought processes of the human brain with greater speed and reliability. Second, its inner workings are not completely understood – even by the people who created it. HAL is an extraordinarily potent technology that cannot be fully controlled. When HAL begins to deviate from the way in which it has been programmed, this is an illustration of the apprehension many people held that our own technological development will someday come back to haunt us in surprising and unanticipated ways.

Obviously one of my favorite movies.

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do
I'm half crazy all for the love of you
It won't be a stylish marriage
I can't afford a carriage
But you'll look sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle built for two

"You would probably laugh at Michael J Fox for his Parkinson's disease making him wobble his head like that and not be able to fully control his muscles."
Man, you crack me up. Stop making me laugh! You should be on stage you big comedian.

Seriously, though. Who descended from the heavens and anointed you the divine right to diagnose veterinary illnesses via a 41 second video clip? Have you never seen an animal (or even a human) performing some unusual act without there having to be some horrendous illness at its root? You seem pretty quick to exercise your holier-than-thou expert opinion without much of an intelligent, informed foundation on which to base your argument.

Not that I feel the burning desire to satisfy your scornful query, I will be gracious enough to favor you with a response. I applied the term "stupid" to the title and have allowed it to remain because the canid is violently attempting to protect his tasty bone from being plundered by an appendage of his very own. No, I amn't entertained watching any living being suffer through life from illnesses of any form, but I do possess the ability to recognize an amusing situation when one presents itself, and a dog blatantly unaware that the paw attempting to rob him of his treat is one of his very own is one such situation. I see no harm in light-heartedly referring to a dog as "stupid" for protecting his treat by growling and biting at the assailant that is his own foot.

I am very well grown up, and am able to consider every situation at deeper than face value. Furthermore, unlike yourself, I am able to not force my personal opinions as fact on everyone with differing views. I suggest that it's you who must not merely "grow up," but also try to appreciate the fact that, contrary to what your fiery passion says, you don't actually know it all. Finally, I think it would do you and all of your victims a good turn to lower your nose from the sky and remove the twisted, thick, thorny stick from your ass.

I'm really disturbed at your sick humor then, since even after knowing the reason behind the dog's behavior you still claim to find it to be "funny". Interesting as a video that shows such unusual illness? Yes, but not funny.

If you think this is funny after learning the truth then you have the mental maturity of an average 6 y/o boy. You would probably laugh at Michael J Fox for his Parkinson's disease making him wobble his head like that and not be able to fully control his muscles. You would probably also laugh at your granpa with Alzheimer's disease because he keeps forgetting stuff. I'm sure anyone can find countless of other rather reasonable comparisons.

What surprises me the most is that you kept the title of the video referring to the dog as "stupid". How is he stupid? Did he consciously choose to have such neural malfunction? Somehow I highly doubt it.

Did you even read the whole article on the Alien Hand Syndrome at all?

Grow up.
