Title: Cats -- so awesome that...
Post by: JasonPratt on November 14, 2017, 12:43:40 PM
...a rheologist at the University of Paris has proven that cats are liquid. Sort of.

And won the first Ig Nobel Prize at Harvard recently for his study!

Only kind of kidding!

Cats are not liquid. Though they love to make you drink liquid-- hard liquids. The real question nobody can figure-out is, "Do We Teach Our Cats To Do Things- Or Do They Teach Us To Do Things"?

Cats are asshats that don't pay rent, though.

They also make liquid. Sometimes in your shoes.

Worth noting that the "cats are liquid" theory was actually written by the cat, per the cat's staff.  ^-^ (Cf the first comments on the article.)

Ouch! -- that particular exerciser is about to get significantly more exercise than expected, going after that cat!

Enigmatic. Very appropriate for the subcategory.  O0

Looking more closely I realize (1) the monitor wasn't plugged in, in any way (which makes me suspect this was a staged event that went far too right);

and (2) the cat's non-reaction to dropping a TV on the peon genuflecting on the floor is priceless.  :DD

My brother and his wife had an (eventually) elder dog (not to be confused with an elder god, since her disposition was much more cheerful), who could not understand why we didn't realize the NINJA SQUIRREL WAS RIGHT THERE LOOKING IN THE DOOR AT US!!!1!

My cats don't stand on my chest at 5am for their sacrificial kibble, they just bitch-slap me with their paws/claws until I roll out of bed to attend to their needs :-\

We used to shut the bedroom door when our cat bothered us at the 5am sacrificial feeding time but damned if she didn't learn how to knock on the door with her paws until somebody gets up anyway.  :o  I'm afraid to leave the gun out around her.

Can someone tell me how to post images... pressing the image icon then trying to copy one in doesn't work.

My contribution has been attached... :-\

Use the img tag...check out the button above the posting area, just under the 'B' (bold) button.

Click that and you'll get

[ img ] [/ img]

(just without spaces, otherwise you wouldn't see the text.)

Between these you just paste the URL of the JPEG you want to share.

As long as the URL ends with a JPG or PNG or similar graphic file name tag, that will work. Just do a Google Image search, and when you find something right click on it and choose 'Open in New Tab' or something similar.

As an example:

This is a case where Grogheads itself is the source of the image.

If you just have the image on your computer, however, you'll either have to upload it to an image hosting site, or try to find where you got it from (unless you made it yourself, which would admittedly be more awesome.) Otherwise, you're doing the best you can, simply providing it as an attachment.
