By the way, folks, if you ever walk down the street and you see a bulldog and you stop, you'll notice they always stop.
They always seem so friendly.
They always stop.
They always stop, and they look up at you, and you pet them.
The reason they...
seem to like you so much is because they love to stop.
I own one.
They're all about the stopping.
It's not you.
It's about the stopping.
Anyway, the goal is not necessarily to sleep as much as a bulldog.
Actually, it's the only animal, so you can't help myself,
It's the only animal for which there's a genetically induced apnea.
They're brachycephalic, which means they have a short snout.
You know all those folds?
You know why the folds are there?
The folds are there because they have a genetic mutation.
They bred out the pain receptors in the face because they used to have them like they would bull bait.
They'd bite on the face of the bull.
They'd kill all the pain.
