The Old English Sheepdog (OES) is a large breed of dog that emerged in England from early types of herding dog. Obsolete names for the breed include Shepherd's Dog and bob-tailed sheep-dog. The nickname Bob-tail (or Bobtail) originates from how dogs of the breed traditionally had their tails docked. Old English Sheepdogs can grow very long coats with fur covering the face and eyes and do not shed unless brushed.
What if the Old English Sheepdog became mascot in Dulux ads due to similarities of its fur with a paintbrush or its smooth appearance just like the paint texture?

Born: July 19, 1962
Death: May 23, 1988 (aged 25)
Status: KIA
Occupation: student, soldier (1977- 1988)
Kitō Aya(木藤 亜也), July 19, 1962 – May 23, 1988) was a Japanese soldier (umm... I mean girl) who wrote a diary about her personal experiences while suffering from spinocerebellar ataxia. She was diagnosed with this disease when she was 15 years old. Her diary, entitled 1 Litre no Namida (1リットルの涙 Ichi Rittoru no Namida?, lit. "1 Litre of Tears"), was first published in her native Japan on February 25, 1986, more than two years before her death at the age of 25. Kito had the incurable disease for 10 years and suffered both emotional and physical pain, which was subsequently stressful to her family as well. Her mother, Shioka Kito, convinced her to publicize her diary in order to give hope to others, since Aya had always wanted to be able to help others. Her diary was later adapted into a film (2004) and then later into a television drama series with Erika Sawajiri portraying her (2005).

"I am also a Tiger hunter too!" laughed the Soviet veteran while pointing the captured German tank turret with his PTRS.

HAt
Hydrogen astatide is an acid that consists of a hydrogen and astatineatom. It is almost never seen any practical applications because each two atoms readily decompose into elemental hydrogen and astatine, a radioactive halogen, so it is also hard to determine its odour and appearance. Also known as hydroastatic acid or astatane.

Please remove your hydrogen astatide indoors.
