2001: A Space Oddessy or Oddity. try this at home.

I used to have a 17 year old black lab that would get bitchy if we turned the TV off on her, when ever we would go somewhere she would go and stand infront of the TV until we turned it on.

She had done that ever since she was a puppy, demand TV access if she was alone...

We tended to leave it on the nature channels though, never found out her preference in programing though.

that's nothing, my dog made me marinara sauce once. a little to much garlic for my taste, but i cut him some slack, it was his third time making it.

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.

There are a lot of hidden messages in 2001... I'm sure most of you know that HAL is a take on IBM (H+1=I) (A+1=B) etc...

Maybe there is something to this???

Today, I damn all those people that come into this thread and try to be funny.
How is it, that if someone asks a special group (people with pics from pyramids, dog owners) to check something, that all those people, who really have nothing to contribute, try to make it a joke thread.

That´s why ATS will always suck in these kind of investigations.
Even if people post their findings, the post will drown in the fishy waters of the ridiculous ones.

I for myself will try it tomorrow with my dog (the cat just does not care about the movie) and will report my findings although I don´t think there will be to much reaction from her

My dog saw this scene and was fixated afterwards

They make commercial for dogs. Kind of interesting.

They're great dogs, hope my yellows have the same longevity!

Yeah for God's sake, how can you people joke at a time like this??


Dogs watching TV? There is absolutely no room for amusing posts here. What a terrible site

Dogs do watch TV, that´s for sure. If the kids watch, our dog often sits beneath them with the head on the floor, watching the pictures fly bye.

You don´t seem to understand. This is not a thread in the joke section, he asked us to try this at home. If you can´t, you still can post your view but ridiculing the thread for a laugh or stars, is the lowest drawer in the chest of drawers, which is standing in the cellar by the way.

That´s a German saying, for "you behaved like crap".

I have found out through experimentation that no matter how many treats I promise her,

my dog just won't watch Jersey shore.

My cat likes to watch Bob Ross paint his happy little trees.

True story.

I knew that my thread would get crapped on. They always do.

But back on topic.

I realize that dogs do watch tv.

But this movie memorizes them.

It's like they can not look away.

The movie it self is more than 2 hours long.

My dog will watch the whole thing.

For some strange reason, I like watching that guy paint as well! His demeanor and voice along with the sounds of the brushes... Strange!

Try turning down the sound and seeing if you dog has the same reaction.
Or, play the soundtrack, but turn off the screen.
You can at least try to determine if it's the visuals or the sound that interests him.

My dogs are couch potatoes, they watch the TV all day....especially the shepherd.

Will try that, too. I speculate it´s the audio, because dogs are more into hearing then seeing. You could tell by the chihuahuas ears.

George Victor Bishop one of the actors in 2001 a space odyssey was quite fond of his Teckel (wire haired dachshund). Maybe there is some kind of dog astral out there that we don't know about?

Yea the vet didn't believe it either until they saw the adoption papers, We had to put her down because she needed major surgery and the vet didn't think she would survive.

I still think we could of got an extra year or two out of her as she was still fairly healthy just old.

Your dog made you marinara sauce once... for the third time?? haha... anyway...

Anyone seen the movie 'Signal' ?



It's a crazy movie, where signals bombard the unsuspecting characters in the movie. They come through televisions and radios... maybe even phones, but can't remember for certain.

Those individuals effected by the signal become psychotic as they nonchalantly break into incredibly skewed, homicidal thought patterns.

Maybe they are testing it out in real life by using 2001. Maybe 2001 has a certain feature built into the audio that allows the insanity signal to commandeer the television and spread the psychotic signals to all who listen...

The government could, at least periodically, secretly experiment on animals in the private sector to determine the efficiency of a new tool, before using oblivious humans for the tests. Hard to tell how often they may skip animals and go straight to human testing - if they ever do... I doubt it, but it is a possibility.

They are using 2001 to program our pets, turning them into 'Manchurian Candidogs'. If you have noticed this behavior from your dogs, make haste, because your life depends on it.

Get a pipe bender and buy 20 or so chain link fence posts. Build a prison cage and stick your dogs in there ASAP. Start searching for the activation word by yelling random commands at your dog. It could be a long process, but just keep yelling out different words until he goes Manchurian. You may also want to sing to the dog, incase the code is activated through a certain song verse.

Be sure to record yourself doing this, so you can post on YouTube to show everyone else what to do in a situation like this.

You will notice when you hit the right code, the dog will start drooling pink and electric blue saliva. Then it will try to chew through the pipes to get out and fulfill his programmers commands. Be strong and do your best to not let him hurt himself as he chews on the pipes. No matter how scary it looks, patient and it will pass...

Last thing you want to do it brush it off like nothing. You definitely won't like waking up @ 3a only to find your dog partially spooning you with his upper torso on your chest, dripping electric blue and pink saliva as he hums the national anthem for Papua New Guinea and bobs his head to the left and right, just like Stevie Wonder.

If it's a female, put your head between your legs and kiss it good-bye. Females are exponentially more fierce and demented. Encountering a female dog has never been survived by fewer than 3 people and 2 1/2 of them sound like Mickey Mouse when they talk...

Really, I had never heard about 2001 effecting dogs this way. It would be nice to see if it can be determined when the first incident took place. If it has been reported for many years, or just in the last few... not that it will explain why 2001 captivates them.
