Just thinking about how I’ve read that humans are the only animals on the planet that can throw objects with a degree of accuracy. But could a dog or other animal be taught, and trained to throw things to hit a target? I mean, it’s not like a human can throw well without guidance and practice, either.

      This was my first thought too. Those fuckers have great aim, and disgusting choice in projectiles

        Disgusting, or great - there’s a reason they’re throwing things at people (and it’s not boredom. Sometimes I think we’re the savages)

      I’ve witnessed in a zoo in France, the accuracy of the gorilla know to throw his poo at annoying visitors. There is nothing Grandma could have done to avoid the hit.
