Black Dog White Dog
by Tris
In Black Dog White Dog each comic strip is built around one English
idiom
or
proverb,
so as you read, you can remember the more
colourful
side of the English language.
As you get older, your body
goes downhill.
Your knees become more painful, your eyes get worse, you can’t hear as well, your teeth fall out, you don’t have as much energy, and your memory gets worse.
...Oh, and your memory gets worse!
When you are young, on the other hand, you don’t even think about these things. Young people don’t realise how lucky they are to be young. They don’t make the most of their strength and beauty.
If an old person could return to their youth, they wouldn’t waste it like that, but youth is wasted on the young.

Did you know that Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz both
discovered
differentiation (the most important mathematical idea of the last
millennium)
at the same time? Did you know that Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace both discovered evolution at the same time? History contains many examples of great ideas that were discovered by two people at the same time.
It's not only the great minds of famous scientists and mathematicians that think alike. Picture this situation: you and your partner are both tired after a long day at work. You are sitting on the sofa watching TV. "I'm hungry," you say. "Me too," says your partner. You look at each other, and then together you say: "Let's order a take-away pizza!" You had the same idea at the same time. In this case you can say "great minds think alike".
