Clearly Russians are tough. Or crazy. Maybe both. Definitely a good reason to avoid a war with Russia. Theres’ plenty of more pictures of the cat on line as well, the damn thing even plays with a grenade: The Russian Cat of Death. Moving right along, it was a long weekend and I’m too tired [...]

My Cats are Plotting Against Me
OK, so I let my cats out a few hours before dawn. Awhile later I hear the sound of fighting cats in the yard. I figure it’s the stripy orange guy, he fears nothing and will fight any cat on the planet. While I am getting dressed I can hear the fight is getting [...]

Tatiana was Framed! And what does a tiger attack have in common with the Battle of the Bulge?
I wanted to wait until a few more facts were in evidence in the San Francisco Zoo tiger attack before commenting on this sad situation. And the truth is out, Tatiana was framed. As anyone who isn’t avoiding the mainstream media knows, a few weeks back a tiger leaped out of its enclosure at a [...]

What’s shaking in Berkeley?
Well, that was exciting. The biggest quake in the Bay Area since Loma Prieta in 1989. It wasn’t all that big, only 5.6 on the Richter scale. A lot of stuff knocked off shelves, a few windows broken, a few things fell down. Here in Berkeley the building gently swayed for about 15 seconds, [...]

Britney Spears makes death threats, can the republic survive? And other minor news items August 1st 2007.
Last night I tried to pre-write a post and made great progress, but finally realized that the post I was working on would take many more hours to finish to my satisfaction. It’s a post about logical fallacies, and somehow I felt that a post about logical fallacies shouldn’t contain any logical fallacies. [...]

Are there cats in heaven?
There have been cats in the news a lot lately, so I thought I’d take a break from the increasingly depressing headlines and cover a few cat stories. Granted not everyone likes cats, but no one is perfect. They are far more evolved than humans in almost every respect, the only thing we have [...]

1989 Never Ended…
I was reading this article about the American funding of pro-democracy groups in Iran, and was struck by a couple of things. The article is about the big increase in such spending and the results it has had. Or hasn’t had to be more precise. If anything the funding has backfired as Iran has [...]

A blue lobster, an antique whale, disappearing birds and bees, stinky whales, fossil dinosaur, and a dead cat on a hill
It seems like a day for animals in the news. A rare blue lobster has been caught off the East Coast of the USA. Only about one in three million (people keep track?) lobsters is blue due to a rare genetic mutation. It’s a lucky thing for the lobster, because of its novelty [...]

Breaking News: Paris Hilton escapes jail, defects to Iran. Ahmadinejad says she will be used as a human shield against American attack.
OK, I’m having one of those days where nothing leaps to mind to blog about. It’s Friday so I will try to keep it light. The cats are being good for a change, probably still sleeping off the effects of yesterday’s catnip festival. Well, SnowBee is complaining about something, do they sell muzzles for [...]
