Hi,
But, given the chance, the cats will take care of making more cats -- so that just leaves time.

Looking at what I originally wrote, I kinda have to fess up here. It wasn't intended to mean that we are running out of cats, though looking at it now and the responses it could be read that way.

It started with Maitre throwing down the 'All Your Base' meme. Along with one of the (Monty) Python cast.

In an attempt to be clever by half, I also worked in an All Your Base reference, in that the character who says the actual line 'All Your Base..' is named CATS. But I phrased it in a Palinesque way. Again in a botched attempt of cleverosity, I went with the Sarah variety instead of the Michael variety, who is an actual member of the Pythons. Michael Palin that is.

Which is funny in a way (though maybe not humorous) since 'All Your Base' is somewhat (in)famous for humour from a somewhat bizarre translation and possible linguistic misinterpretation.

Now that the Schroedingers cat is out of the box, the humour may or may not be dead. Or both alive and dead. I'm not sure actually, more disturbing is why hasn't anyone called the SPCA on this Schroedinger fellow?!

Also.* Cats and t3h innernets seems to be a weird yet somehow compatible pairing phenomenon, like chocolate and peanut butter. So should the impossible even occur, ie: we are running out of cats, their on-line presence at least seems to be secure.

*Palinesque speech tic again.

In any case, maybe I should just let a picture speak instead. And again I should lay the blame for any mishap in communication squarely where it belongs. It's all Maitre's fault.:P
