		<description>Brian Lang: LOL!

As a drummer friend of mine once said,&quot; If you feed a dog, he thinks you&#039;re God. If you feed a cat, it thinks IT&#039;S God and wonders why you gave it cat food when it ordered steak.&quot;

&quot;. . . they certainly occupy space (right where you want sit). At least they heat it.&quot;

Tom (as black as the one in the photo, with even longer hair) doesn&#039;t:  he waits until *I* have heated up the spot, then if I get up even briefly, he is there . . . and about as hard to move as a black hole of comparable radius . . .</description>

&lt;i&gt;
&quot;Black hole cats must give one million times more bad luck than the normal ones.&quot; ^_^ &lt;/i&gt; 

Actually black cats are &lt;b&gt; &lt;i&gt; good luck. &lt;/b&gt; &lt;/i&gt; 

Always have been for me ... Same with the number 13 too. ;-)

Luck is what you make of it -and seruiously in many places and culturs black ctas are lucky justlike thenumber 13 has no bad connotations elsewhere where as other numbers have negaticve feras and superstitions projected upon them ie. 4 in Japan is like 13 inour culture -although with a smidgin more reason as it is a homonymn (sound-alike for death &quot;shi&quot;) 

Anyway folks it has got me wondering - what&#039;s &lt;i&gt;that&lt;/i&gt; catty black hole meausere in solar masses eh? 

0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 mass solar  or something like it? ;-) 

Must make it a record low-mass black hole!! 

A Hawking micro-black hole perhaps - or maybe a Schrodinger one? ;-)

&lt;i&gt; PS. We can&#039;t create the dot-in-a circle solar symbol thingy here in any way can we folks?  &lt;/i&gt;</description>

		<description>Nothing wrong with liking LOLCats. It&#039;s a very clever site, and the way it developed its own communal lexicon to the point where people are doing deliberate translations of famous works is brilliant.

From the LOLBible:
&lt;i&gt;Oh hai. In teh beginnin Ceiling Cat maded teh skiez An da Urfs, but he did not eated dem.&lt;/i&gt;</description>

		<description>The Laws of Cat Physics


Law of Cat Inertia
A cat at rest will tend to remain at rest, unless acted upon by some outside force - such as the opening of cat food, or a nearby scurrying mouse.

Law of Cat Motion
A cat will move in a straight line, unless there is a really good reason to change direction.

Law of Cat Magnetism
All blue blazers and black sweaters attract cat hair in direct proportion to the darkness of the fabric.

Law of Cat Thermodynamics
Heat flows from a warmer to a cooler body, except in the case of a cat, in which case all heat flows to the cat.

Law of Cat Stretching
A cat will stretch to a distance proportional to the length of the nap just taken.

Law of Cat Sleeping
All cats must sleep with people whenever possible, in a position as
uncomfortable for the people involved, and as comfortable as possible for the cat.

Law of Cat Elongation
A cat can make her body long enough to reach just about any counter top
that has anything remotely interesting on it.

Law of Cat Obstruction
A cat must lay on the floor in such a position to obstruct the maximum
amount of human foot traffic.

Law of Cat Acceleration

		<description>Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature,
    An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature;
    Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses
    Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses.

    I find myself intrigued by your sub-vocal oscillations,
    A singular development of cat communications
    That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
    For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection.

    A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents,
    You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.
    And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion
    It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.

    Oh Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display
    Connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array;
    And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,
    I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.
