I feel bad for that cat, I really do but why did it keep climbing.

Probably because of the dumb human pointing a camera at it! Bobcats are probably pretty tough anyway, it's not like it's a house cat stuck in a tree.

Edit: Googling bobcat cactus found this similar situation which apparently ended with no harm to the bobcat.

At least it's not a black cat that answers to "darkie" or something worse

Though the type of people that name their pets like that probably wouldn't be so apologetic about it

I got "Eyes of the Dragon" by Stephen King from the Scholastic Book Club when I was in 5th grade. I didn't read the majority of the book, but I do remember the whole part about the king's penis was in there.

I thought you were talking about Stephen King's penis for a second and I was very confused...

Actually that cat does seem to have either really abnormal fat distribution or increased muscle mass. Note how the waist is defined and not a big round ball.
However more people need to see that chart and learn how obese their cat's are so overall I approve of this post.

Edit: For reference here is the range from underweight to obese. A lot of people are so used to seeing fat cats that they think cats in the ideal range are too skinny.

Does a cat that fat still always land on its feet?

Honestly, I am not sure. I think they would be somewhat less nimble than a thinner cat so it might take them more time to turn in the air.
I know there's theoretically some optimal zone where cats that fall will suffer minimal injuries, and above that zone they are injured or killed from the height of the fall, and below it they don't have time to optimally prepare themselves so they get hurt because of that. There was a study on this back in the 80s based on cats brought into a medical clinic for falls but it had the bias of not including cats thay were obviously dead, as they wouldn't be brought in to a vet (:()


I thought this gif from Wikipedia was kind of hilariously weird looking so enjoy

I own this hat. I want to wear it outside so badly, but I'm unreasonably nervous someone won't understand that the KoC actually do good work, occasionally, this is a hat from the late 80's/early 90's, AND they can't even be bothered to spell 'retarded' correctly.

IIRC, There was once a Christian death cult, shortly after Christ. They believed in the loophole of martyrdom meant not needing to be a good person or anything else in the bible, so they would party like crazy, then take a club and go out to beat someone up until that person killed them in retaliation. Or they would jump to their deaths in a busy, important public area. They were so widespread, and pissed off so many people that they wrote into the bible that Christians should take up the sword when necessary to protect... I can't remember, I read it in some thread a while ago. Point is, IIRC, because of them Christians can't claim religious pacifism to get out of some sorts of military service despite Jesus' whole message of peace stuff.

Its odd to think of a bunch of really early Christians going around insulting people and whacking them with sticks until the abused just snaps and kills them, then the people around start cheering because that dude just totally went to heaven.

I vaguely remember this also, pretty sure the PYF historical fun fact thread was where I saw it. Can't remember what they were called.

For non-German-speakers in the audience, that's a story about two brothers living in a castle. They fight, one of them leaves and says he's gonna come back and build a fort across from the castle, to which his brother replies that if he does, he'll lick his own rear end.

Our hero comes back, builds his fort, and his brother, a man of his word, bends over to lick his own rear end and this kills him somehow. The surviving brother commissions a statue.

So yeah I guess the story of the guy who died trying to fart in he own mouth could be said to have happened out of hate and jealousy.

Thank you for this, I am a better person having known the truth behind this self butt lick pic. Uh I mean... Danke?? I think that's right. :)

Changing a name to make it more easily pronouncible in a localisation, but sometimes they make silly and unnecessary changes. Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone, anyone?

And then there's France, who often leave the titles of movies in English but change the name anyway to make it easier for french people, or something.









My favourite is the French title for Cool Runnings, which they called "Rasta Rocket" in France.

So the French just make everything sex related?

Honestly can't say as I'm surprised. Even Rasta Rocket is pretty suggestive :awesome:

No, the Americans just make everything sex-related but are afraid to admit it.

e: Tangentially related, reminded me of the time they tried to sell a movie that did really well in Finland to the foreign market but it didn't go too good because people thought it was gay porn. Not really :nws: but just in case.

Eh, can't argue with you there. Good ol Puritan repression at work.

Edit Not Another Teen Movie -> SEX ACADEMY is pretty funny though
