Open Thread Thursday

This morning I had to wait about 10 minutes to buy a bagel at Hot & Crusty, which, by the way, is just about the worst name for a chain of restaurants ever. While in line, I was treated to one of the dumbest/funniest/oldest discussions, with the conversation eventually taking over all the customers. The cashiers were even chiming in. So naturally, I thought to bring the question here.

Are cats smarter than dogs?

The prevailing opinions fell on two sides. A- Dogs are most easily trained than cats, therefore they are smarter. B- Dogs are more easily trained than cats, therefore they are dumber.

People were getting seriously into their arguments.
