It is difficult to figure out what the tubes on a horse are since they don&#39;t really have a paw to shake, nor do they wrap around anyone to communicate friendship.  However, if you watch closely, you&#39;ll find that the horse&#39;s friendly tubes are his &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;ears.    &lt;/span&gt;You will notice that a horse, to communicate friendship, will rotate and point his ears towards you.  If he didn&#39;t like you, he wouldn&#39;t point his ears.  Therefore, the horse&#39;s tubes are his ears.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://friendlytubes.blogspot.com/2008/09/horses-tubes.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Three)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy-mDxqykbJIaEWpfiRkh8JN7ab6O7bqpOCDsEj8BLVRd9EQAE3oIZGjwckdo63xHbP4rjCbfxiaq9RCMZG9j8pdfnN7HWHDvPTrqTJNM5qFQkbYY0D6Wpxg2PV6PDeVUrsovmjHeEwpfB/s72-c/horse-head.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3916211452926934376.post-7278067245160932843</guid><pubDate>Wed, 27 Aug 2008 21:36:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-08-27T14:38:55.784-07:00</atom:updated><title>Snakes</title><description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNMWe0_dVxkU1pjCqQScAoXH557dOcsTbTPyEVihxLu1ApX5BKDWCfzquvncabBv2vGWphVWcnEyPSsh8diWDAijXBOWVMd5je-xzFoR3Bs-eYmkM2-BnwYr_Ii8UmOp2aRKI_l8i42LdV/s1600-h/Eastern_Worm_Snake_Carphophis_amoenus_amoenus_002.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNMWe0_dVxkU1pjCqQScAoXH557dOcsTbTPyEVihxLu1ApX5BKDWCfzquvncabBv2vGWphVWcnEyPSsh8diWDAijXBOWVMd5je-xzFoR3Bs-eYmkM2-BnwYr_Ii8UmOp2aRKI_l8i42LdV/s320/Eastern_Worm_Snake_Carphophis_amoenus_amoenus_002.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239314679412883378&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;To many, the snake is not a symbol of friendliness.  But consider, to the snake, humans are not exactly a symbol of friendliness either.  In my opinion the snake has a friendly tube.  What is it, you ask?  This is the most obvious friendly tube out there - the entire snake&#39;s body.  It is tubular in form.  The reason the body is the friendly tube is because a snake wraps himself around things that he likes.  People with pet boa constrictors for example, often find the snake wrapping around them.  Sometimes they wrap around to kill things, but that&#39;s another story, for another day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://friendlytubes.blogspot.com/2008/08/snakes.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Three)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNMWe0_dVxkU1pjCqQScAoXH557dOcsTbTPyEVihxLu1ApX5BKDWCfzquvncabBv2vGWphVWcnEyPSsh8diWDAijXBOWVMd5je-xzFoR3Bs-eYmkM2-BnwYr_Ii8UmOp2aRKI_l8i42LdV/s72-c/Eastern_Worm_Snake_Carphophis_amoenus_amoenus_002.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3916211452926934376.post-3829250706584851019</guid><pubDate>Mon, 25 Aug 2008 22:31:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-08-25T15:33:55.146-07:00</atom:updated><title>Cats</title><description>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBjIxD0JGeqtz7cJndyJ7JMyIgLsi2Hb1UJxJIe1kkylPOFNV0p1jNBRaAt22B6vk37LUdiq0OaCeO4Wm6pi_OUQTlQ090owI2mj_ch4TJ1ynmWI4Bu5JFl8J0u7WSfJE4zuXE2uObKqNl/s1600-h/Kitten-Duck.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 342px; height: 257px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBjIxD0JGeqtz7cJndyJ7JMyIgLsi2Hb1UJxJIe1kkylPOFNV0p1jNBRaAt22B6vk37LUdiq0OaCeO4Wm6pi_OUQTlQ090owI2mj_ch4TJ1ynmWI4Bu5JFl8J0u7WSfJE4zuXE2uObKqNl/s320/Kitten-Duck.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238586765342986162&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;There is some discussion on what the cat&#39;s friendly tube is.  I submit that the body of the cat is its friendly tube.  That is to say, the torso area.  Why, you ask?  If you&#39;ll notice, when a cat likes you, he will rub his body against you, including walking between your legs and rubbing his body against your leg.  If he didn&#39;t like you he wouldn&#39;t do this.  He does this to communicate his friendship.  Furthermore, when a cat allows you to pet him, his body arches, signifying that he likes you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://friendlytubes.blogspot.com/2008/08/cats.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Three)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBjIxD0JGeqtz7cJndyJ7JMyIgLsi2Hb1UJxJIe1kkylPOFNV0p1jNBRaAt22B6vk37LUdiq0OaCeO4Wm6pi_OUQTlQ090owI2mj_ch4TJ1ynmWI4Bu5JFl8J0u7WSfJE4zuXE2uObKqNl/s72-c/Kitten-Duck.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3916211452926934376.post-6974528172314060098</guid><pubDate>Thu, 21 Aug 2008 00:17:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-08-20T17:21:31.053-07:00</atom:updated><title>Caterpillar Friendly Tubes</title><description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZWG-uVDWA4fDXzfg-X4QIUo6_Wizjk7KC3-Gfg1njKF17KMTskQ4HVjpm1bkuYWPRN5Y7BVaoU8QA41BVC1-hK-jRt6OZisPfRWAEPVkTsqz5dvdOnGAliJI6AoQKWnsvaIkHp8-vw2ge/s1600-h/caterpillar.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZWG-uVDWA4fDXzfg-X4QIUo6_Wizjk7KC3-Gfg1njKF17KMTskQ4HVjpm1bkuYWPRN5Y7BVaoU8QA41BVC1-hK-jRt6OZisPfRWAEPVkTsqz5dvdOnGAliJI6AoQKWnsvaIkHp8-vw2ge/s320/caterpillar.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236758744859678562&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The caterpillar actually has two friendly tubes so in many ways, this actually may make the caterpillar friendlier.  Whether the number of friendly tubes actually makes a difference is subject to debate, but I believe more tubes = more friendly.  The friendly tubes on a caterpillar are it&#39;s antennae.  The reason its antenna are its friendly tubes is because the caterpillar uses the antennae to feel around and touch things to figure out if they are safe/danger, friendly/unfriendly.  So if a caterpillar touches you with either or both of his antennae, that means he wants to be friends. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Interestingly enough, the entire body of the caterpillar is tubular in shape perhaps indicating that the caterpillar is one of the friendliest creatures out there.  Please do not say anything about snakes, otherwise it will ruin my point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://friendlytubes.blogspot.com/2008/08/caterpillar-friendly-tubes.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Three)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZWG-uVDWA4fDXzfg-X4QIUo6_Wizjk7KC3-Gfg1njKF17KMTskQ4HVjpm1bkuYWPRN5Y7BVaoU8QA41BVC1-hK-jRt6OZisPfRWAEPVkTsqz5dvdOnGAliJI6AoQKWnsvaIkHp8-vw2ge/s72-c/caterpillar.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3916211452926934376.post-6648552900744459539</guid><pubDate>Wed, 20 Aug 2008 19:04:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-08-20T13:05:04.565-07:00</atom:updated><title>Dogs&#39; Tubes</title><description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWRMmb8TvjWGgG3vwGOC1cVPAhcKsylIk6RPbczFZoQ_qoN5o7bq8sJL2OzBT6G6JcoYOV2hvHPyoydPgdBAx-F3ER07k5sV5WvwiHTLChdTK35lGEu7TowdfobtiESXK3F1E2sLZdFGPj/s1600-h/dog-tongue.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWRMmb8TvjWGgG3vwGOC1cVPAhcKsylIk6RPbczFZoQ_qoN5o7bq8sJL2OzBT6G6JcoYOV2hvHPyoydPgdBAx-F3ER07k5sV5WvwiHTLChdTK35lGEu7TowdfobtiESXK3F1E2sLZdFGPj/s320/dog-tongue.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236677861047650882&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;thanks to chazhound.com for image&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;I steadfastly believe that the Friendly Tube on a dog is its tongue.  Why, you ask?  After all, isn&#39;t it the paw that the dog reaches forward when it wishes to shake paws/hands?  This is a good argument, but one must realize that dog&#39;s don&#39;t go up to people trying to be their friends by reaching forth their paws - this is an un-natural trained behavior.  The &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;tongue &lt;/span&gt;on the other hand is what the dog uses to lick the faces and parts of other animals and people that it wants to be friends with.  Dogs don&#39;t try to lick other living creatures that they do not like, so in essence they use the tongue to communicate friendship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Momma argued that the tail is in fact friendly tube.  I can see why she would think this - when a dog is happy, he wags his tail.  Furthermore, the tail is in the form of a tube!  However, remember, the tail is only wagged to express feeling and the dog does not use its tail to touch things in order to communicate friendship.  If you beg to differ, please do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://friendlytubes.blogspot.com/2008/08/dogs-tubes.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Three)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWRMmb8TvjWGgG3vwGOC1cVPAhcKsylIk6RPbczFZoQ_qoN5o7bq8sJL2OzBT6G6JcoYOV2hvHPyoydPgdBAx-F3ER07k5sV5WvwiHTLChdTK35lGEu7TowdfobtiESXK3F1E2sLZdFGPj/s72-c/dog-tongue.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3916211452926934376.post-5480738195951536089</guid><pubDate>Tue, 19 Aug 2008 19:39:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-08-19T12:46:58.745-07:00</atom:updated><title>Human Baby Tubes</title><description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEWS2LA_Nm9-68omKd705TnozTwj40JjaXnTdLj-IUugviSFwJdxS32ueIMlU_V1kZvdMubkpJSELXIkpnmTPnM7ZzB5THjrEe9rFTAZGVssglIC6LRR-CbxIOadZtWng13avGTjgu9qYr/s1600-h/baby_reaching_for_star_80150_7.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;cursor: pointer; width: 183px; height: 246px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEWS2LA_Nm9-68omKd705TnozTwj40JjaXnTdLj-IUugviSFwJdxS32ueIMlU_V1kZvdMubkpJSELXIkpnmTPnM7ZzB5THjrEe9rFTAZGVssglIC6LRR-CbxIOadZtWng13avGTjgu9qYr/s400/baby_reaching_for_star_80150_7.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236317404907952882&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP-xaUgIAanvA4xP3ojTPLYltkBSIfuE644bR_voWgQiZa0uS8p5tf4r-f4Ufof_dz9T4X2sK0wCe9mq0kJp0jeyENdHpeAWKe9Y-JKp5m-o68W0hBPFLGdLd9MO8z9ECwzBNEgNaEttJb/s1600-h/Baby+arm+small.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;cursor: pointer; width: 203px; height: 305px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP-xaUgIAanvA4xP3ojTPLYltkBSIfuE644bR_voWgQiZa0uS8p5tf4r-f4Ufof_dz9T4X2sK0wCe9mq0kJp0jeyENdHpeAWKe9Y-JKp5m-o68W0hBPFLGdLd9MO8z9ECwzBNEgNaEttJb/s400/Baby+arm+small.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236317326600927858&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;In my opinion, the friendly tubes on a human baby are its arms.  If you look, you&#39;ll notice that the entire arm if fully extended looks just like a tube.  The forearm is not disproportionate in size to the upper-arm so it is truly a perfect tube (with the exception of the nice little folds that babies have).  Certainly the arm is the friendly tube of a human baby because as we all know, when a baby wants to make friends with someone, they reach out their arms to the other person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://friendlytubes.blogspot.com/2008/08/human-baby-tubes.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Three)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEWS2LA_Nm9-68omKd705TnozTwj40JjaXnTdLj-IUugviSFwJdxS32ueIMlU_V1kZvdMubkpJSELXIkpnmTPnM7ZzB5THjrEe9rFTAZGVssglIC6LRR-CbxIOadZtWng13avGTjgu9qYr/s72-c/baby_reaching_for_star_80150_7.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3916211452926934376.post-7245968141529443489</guid><pubDate>Tue, 19 Aug 2008 06:10:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-08-18T23:23:23.341-07:00</atom:updated><title>Elephant Tubes</title><description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The friendly tube on the elephant is it&#39;s trunk.
