"A Leopard Cannot Change Its Spots."

True.

But, wouldn't it be cool to see it try?

I feel that way about most things. Honestly. I can say with certainty that most people don't change their ways regardless of intention; so what could make something as specific and innate as leopard spots possibly give way to stripes? The answer: Nothing.

The best part, however, of a saying such as this, is that desire to see a leopard try to change. What could it possibly do? The answer: Nothing. But the notion that a desire for change, while it can change exactly nothing, is intriguing.

This guy (link) says otherwise, but, hey, what does he know? Probably wears pinstripes. Am I right, or am I right?
