Ceiling Cat bless the Belgians!

November 22, 2015 • 4:27 pm

Much of Brussels is closed, on lockdown, or under police scrutiny as they search for two terrorists wanted in the Paris attacks. They’ve requested that citizens remain mum about the details. A tw**t from Pia Micallef, courtesy of Matthew Cobb, gives the response. And ;check out the #BrusselsLockdown site. It’s a hoot if you ignore the circumstances to which it’s responding.

  3. It’s a perfect way of showing that they don’t appreciate being told what not to do; while showing that they do understand the need for it under the circumstances.

    Civil disobedience with a sense of humor.

    1. “a sense of humour”.
      If I were you, I’d be bracing my self to the stream of outrage (and suspicious moustaches) coming your way form the land of Tintin.

    1. Police have searched 19 houses, 16 people have been arrested, but no weapons or explosives have been found. Other details are being kept secret in the interest of the investigation.

      1. Hopefully not for long. Secret searches, secret raids, secret arrests, secret imprisonment, secret laws, and secret trials with secret evidence have been slowly spreading through Western governments in the name of fighting terrorism since 9/11.

        It’s far more worrying than terrorism itself.

        1. Agreed. But I prefer to think that the European leaders and their accessory politicians are on average far more sane than the whooping and flag waving and constitution bending yahoos we get here every 4 – 8 years.

  6. What’s the cat’s mane? Sun Tzu?
    Or, considering the regard that one had for the other, Chairman Miaow?

      1. What’s that in genetics? A “transposition error”? Or two SNPs? Or an inversion of some sort?
        By which I mean (for transposition), “n” swaps for “m” and vice versa, the two changes coupled.
        The two SNPs being “n” swapped for “m” and independently “m” swapped for “n” (because they’re independent, the probability of the combined event is different to the non-independent changes). And the inversion being “ANYTHINGnamE” having “nam” excised, inverted and re-inserted to form “ANYTHINGmanE” – which isn’t so incredible considering that the ribosomal apparatus looks at a DNA stream in segments 3 base pairs long, giving us the “GGG -> guanine” etc genetic code.
        Sorry, just trying to revise my genetics terminology while the morning coffee kicks in. Still got rocks in my head.
