Talk about animal magnetism!

Scientists discovered that dogs across a variety of breeds align their body axis with the Earth's magnetic field (MF) when relieving themselves.

70 dogs out of 37 different breeds -- beagles and dachshunds and Yorkshire terriers, oh my! -- were observed going number two 1,893 times and number one 5,582 times over the course of a two-year period. And they preferred to excrete when their body was aligned along the north-south axis under calm MF conditions, according to a new report in the journal Frontiers in Zoology.

Our analysis of the raw data ... indicates that dogs not only prefer N-S direction, but at the same time they also avoid E-W direction," they wrote.

My only disappointment is that the study is by Czechs and Germans. America needs to be in on this.

I read it as "calm mother fricking conditions", in Samuel Jackson's voice.

Who will be the first to circumnavigate the globe using a dog's anus as a compass?
