The guy is deaf, and he taught his cat the sign for “food.” So the cat’s not just saying “put that in my mouth,” it’s actually signing.

That gill pictured is physically, chemically and in all other ways LITERALLY impossible.

Also it'd kill you via Oxygen toxicity at a depth of about four feet.

So... cute... :3

I love cats like that, it's like they're saying "Pardon me, but may I have some food please?"  when they tap on your arm like that ^^

I would sooo love to have a kitty like that but I don't think it would work with all the sickness and stuff you'll have to clean up *ick*

Yeah, but dreaming of the pets you'd love to have isn't really the same as the pointless and peculiar stuff that this thread exists to host - the other thread's a better place for it I'd say.

Wow, five months is rough, I hope they'll go by quickly! The most we ever did was four, but after summer it'll increase to at least six, since I'll have to stay in Norway and work. But the reason I have to stay and work is to save up money so I can move there! Yay!

I guess, but random animals seems like it fits here rather than pets. But then again this gives me a reason to go through the pets thread, so fair enough.

Or you can fund that project. Novelty stuff is just good testing for real payloads, especially if you can get people to pay for it.

I have to say that is a VERY exciting project.

Love that.


Reminded me of a story from around the sixties or seventies


Frankfurt Tower Controllers were, back then, not known for their tolerance of Pilots who failed to follow instructions.  One day, during a particularly day of heavy traffic and some bad weather, a British Pilot, making his first trip to Frankfurt got slightly lost in some fog while trying to taxi to the terminal.  Finally, after a few sharp messages from the Tower, the controller snapped at the Pilot.

"Haven't you been to Frankfurt before"  he said in a sharp, condicendingly sneering tone.

There was a seconds silence before the Pilot came back in a calm tone

"Once, but that was in '44, and we didn't land."

Hm. This in turn reminds me of a story about the German politician Franz Josef Strauss. When he was on a state visit to Moscow, he was asked by Gorbachov if this was his first time in Russia, to which he responded:
"No, but the first time I only got as far as Stalingrad".

I just saw these. Seat belts everyone! It's time for a feels trip!

Everyone talks about how bad long distance sucks... how hard it is... and I've done it, I know it sucks... but at the same time... my one really serious LDR remains one of my favorite memories, even if it hurts a little now.

Moving on to the crushing of dreams.
