This thread is not about cats. What should it be about?

[Bertha Venation]

I'll give you my opinion, if I have one, on whatever you ask. As I have time.

[charlie and algernon]

1. how are your cats doing?

:P

[Bertha Venation]

3. Cute!

:P indeed!

[MissHoneychurch]

2. Kittens?

They are not cats yet :D

[Bertha Venation]

5. Fishy!

My opinion on kittens is that I want one.

[MissHoneychurch]

7. Thing is

they don't stay kittens and then you want a new one and your feline population at home is taking over :D

4. How come it isn't about the kittehs?

It is always about the kittehs.

[Bertha Venation]

6. Because DU does not know that I'm not a one-hit wonder.

:hi:

[siligut]

10. Of course we know.

It wouldn’t be all about the cats if you were. Being stable in our lives allows us to focus on the pleasures, that being kittehs! :hi:

9. OK, no cats. Just pre-cats, then.

That's Mo looking at the camera, along with sleepy siblings Missy and Mu. We found Mo a good home with lots of play pals.

11. Mo's forhead markings are unique.

I've never seen tabby markings that come down from the outside to form a point. It's usually a clear "M" shape.

They're all beautiful, but I want Mo.

[Ikonoklast]

24. He is extremely beautiful, and quite unique.

Here you can see the cross marking that runs down his back.





He is the sweetest little boy, and his new mommy almost started crying when she saw him in person the first time.

26. A christian kitty! Who knew?

Like the burros who labor at the Grand Canyon.

Thanks for the pics.

12. It should be about cats. nt

[Bertha Venation]

15. How about snarky, smart-ass cats?

[Deep13]

17. That's pretty much all of them, isn't it? nt

[Bertha Venation]

20. Point taken.

[Richardo]

13. Baseball!

Are you going to foster a ballplayer again this season?

[Bertha Venation]

16. Hey, Richardo!

We don't know yet. We might, if we can be guaranteed that he will not break his foot midway through the season. I don't care about the player himself, but when he did that and was no longer on the roster, we lost our free tix. ;)

14. Pickled beets.

[Bertha Venation]

18. I love pickled beets. Do you?

[crim son]

19. Lobster.

I tried to engage Philboy in a discussion about the crustacean but was spurned. Let's make it a Lobster thread, K? :P

[Bertha Venation]

21. K. Here's my take on lobsters:

Leave them on the ocean floor! Lobsters weren't meant to be red. :bounce:

[crim son]

23. That I'll concede. But

are they meant to be blue? See? It's not so simple... :P

[Bertha Venation]

27. Why is the lobster sad?

:cry:

They are kinda bluish... bluish-greenish-brown... :shrug:

[Kajsa]

25. Hear, hear!

:applause: :pals:

Mammoth task: Scientists map DNA of ancient beast
By SETH BORENSTEIN
AP Science Writer
Published: Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2008
WASHINGTON -- Bringing "Jurassic Park" one step closer to reality, scientists have deciphered much of the genetic code of the woolly mammoth, a feat they say could allow them to recreate the shaggy, prehistoric beast in as little as a decade or two.

The project marks the first time researchers have spelled out the DNA of an extinct species, and it raised the possibility that other ancient animals such as mastodons and sabertooth tigers might someday walk the Earth again.

"It could be done. The question is, just because we might be able to do it one day, should we do it?" asked Stephan Schuster, a Penn State University biochemist and co-author of the new research. "I would be surprised to see if it would take more than 10 or 20 years to do it."

30. Fuck we can’t even keep the species we already have alive.

And you know some creepy group with a lot of money and no feel for reality is going to try and clone a mummy or something. I love science, but science for science sake is arrogant and sometimes destructive.
