OK, so it probably is technically no longer Caturday anywhere on the planet (maybe Hawaii?), and Greg has already posted a post-Friday felid, but I couldn’t resist this from the excellent Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.

Oh boy, that was sweet. Though as an amateur in the field of genetics, it did take about 5 seconds to click. Then I laughed. Out loud.
Wow, I was amused by a cat joke 🙂
Hairballs are caused by histidyl-glutamic acid?

*Laughs haughtily*
I am proud of myself – I got the joke without out having to look it up. And I-am-not-a-biologist.
(Thank you Abbie!)

Of all the insects in the biology world, the ped-ant is the most fumble-footed. It can be almost always be observed next to the comment stack, pulling at straws.
Oops, “grasping at straws” naturally!
