Just a reminder: you have two more days to submit your cat scan; the winner gets an autographed hardback of WEIT—if there are ten or more entries, and so far there are about five. If there are fewer entries the winner gets a paperback. Put your kitteh on the scanner: what do you have to lose?
Reminder: your cat scan is due

Use of my right eye?
Several fingers? L
Put treats on there & just try – pleeeeease!
Not cat-related I’m afraid, but generally relevant–James Woods again gets on his high horse to swat at atheists:

This time his argument is that novels are a better guide to the complexities of faith than Dawkins. Why do I get the feeling that only a literary critic would make that argument?
Your problem is that you take a much-too literal interpretation of everything that you read, apparently. Only when you learn to “go with the flow” and give up your insistence on such exacting modes of thought, will you experience the ineffably transcendent in its truly spiritual form.

Bad for the BP – avoid reading such nonsense when purveyed by a lit crit.
Damn. I still haven’t done my homework. Tonight, I promise.
Done now???
Actually, yes. I now have 6 or 7 of Mr Merlyn, all equally mundane. I will pick the best tonight and submit. I have a pretty good one of Keeshu to send in that I did a couple of weeks ago.
And, as I may have mentioned, I have a nasty one of Fiona, who never lets us groom her. I’m not submitting it, as some things can’t be unseen.
I’d like to, but she won’t fit through the paper feeder…
Come on people! We do not all have cats – surely there are enough of you out there???
You’ve had 3 weeks to get a cat and a scanner. Don’t blame us.
And stop calling me Shirley.
I’ve done a few prototypes – I had put the scanner on the floor for them to get used to, but now that I remember that the subjects are cats, it occurs to me that I should actually be putting somewhere that I *don’t* want them to go – the dining room table perhaps.
On the other hand, I also keep wondering whether this isn’t really Jerry^H^H^H^H^H Ceiling Cat’s social experiment to determine the scope and extent of the demands he can successfully make of the followers of this website.
Entered. I have the scars to prove it!
Having tried to accomplish this challenge, I would be very surprised if Jerry has ever tried to scan a cat. This is hard!
