Firstly..... great picture....
Secondly...... I dread to think what else goes through your head if this is what you've been thinking about all day!!!!!
Those dust bunnies in there must be shattered from carrying this thought around for so long

There are people making a living of picking up dog poo.  (Seriously.) Though guide dogs are trained to always do it at the same place, so there's no danger for the owner to step in it.

If I may add one, on the same sort of theme as guide dogs.
On signs that say ''No dogs except guide dogs'' how are the blind supposed to read it?

Ok.... Random thought for the day...... We all have strange thoughts and this one has been puzzling me for a while.
Who was the first person to look at a cow and think "I'll squeeze those dangly things underneath, and drink whatever comes out?"

You forgot to post a pic:

As a creationist, my guess would be either Adam (first man) or Abel (one of Adam's sons, but was the first recorded shepherd/animal domesticator).
If you're not a creationist, you obviously cannot answer this question (or at least it'll be a really foolish answer).

We may not be able to answer the question directly, but we can surely make some good guesses as to whatever the first person who thought of it had drunk or smoked beforehand!
'Pot Head Abel' they called him...

I guess we're joking but if the question is really bugging you as you say it's probably pretty simple. All mammals give milk, including humans, it's not strange that humans would take note of a large, domesticated, calm animal and think, "there's a renewable food source, all I gotta do is feed 'em on this useless dry grass."

New thought? Who started with smoking tobacco? Or cannabis?
"Hey, let's set this plant on fire and inhale its smoke."
- "No wait, let it dry first, could make it better."
"Shall we mix it with this green thing too?"
- "Yea, great!"

And I shall last eternally

^ People tried all sorts of plants to see if they have medical value. The burning of tobacco (and probably cannabis aswell) might have developed through religious ceremonies (like burning frankincense in the catholic church). It is knon that tobacco juice was used as a way to greater understanding (today known as getting high..) by priests in cuba.
Wait, was that supossed to be not a serious question?

With Tobacco, it probably was Native Americans with their "Peace Pipes" Hildor.
It was related to their shamanic Religion, the Shamans and "Medicine Men" would consume it during their various "assorted" rituals. 
As for cannabis... I'm pretty sure that started somewhere in India. Like Tobacco, it was first used Religiously.

But we ALL know that the most widely consumed drug is: CAFFEINE!

Hey Doc, the day isn't over yet... Wait, is it over?  By Indonesian time, this question and Hildor's question were posted on the same day, only 9 hours apart.

Why is it that when we are told there are billions and billions of stars in the sky, we believe it without hesitation..... but when someone tells you that paint is wet, you have to touch it to make sure?
