It’s Thursday, and I won’t look up what happened in history today, but if any readers want to contribute, please do so in the comments. But we do have extra cat pictures. First, in Dobrzyn, there’s a big meeting for Listy (the website translates pieces by Ed Yong into Polish). Today, the Furry Editor has important decisions to make. (All today’s photos of Hili come from visitor Sarah Lawson, who specializes in photographing Her Highness.)
A: Editorial meeting. What are we posting next to Ed Yong?
Hili: Let me think.(Photo: Sarah Lawson)
Ja: Zebranie redakcyjne, co dajemy obok Yonga?
Hili: Daj pomyśleć.

Here are two bonus photos of Hili:
With her hot water bottle:
And two bonus photos of Gus (“Earless but Fearless”) by reader Taskin. It’s cold and snowy in Winnipeg, so Gus spent most of yesterday sleeping in a chair.
The pattern that is in Hili’s gaping maw appears to look a bit like a ghostly cat head!

PPS The ‘Hobbit’ not human… http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20160217-ancient-hobbit-was-not-human?ocid=twert
LB1 all over again. The result is almost a no-skuller … almost.
“”This paper will please those who agree and probably do nothing to change the mind of those who view the hobbit as a [pygmy or pathological] Homo sapiens.””
Sigh.
Haha, so it does … if you look at Hili’s maw in another way, it looks like a very sad Pluto, the Disney character. 🙂
Today is the day that Twain made Huckleberry Finn!

Mary Tudor was born on this day 500 years ago
I see on this day in 1930, Pluto was discovered. It is also Yoko Ono’s birthday, she’s 83!
I hope Ed Yong does not take that first pic personally.
