Jul. 2nd, 2010 02:35 am* ETA: A Wikipedia article entitled "List of fictional cats."
...why does Wikipedia even have this? And theoretically, couldn't I just start making up cats and adding them, forever?
Jake - Keeps stealing the dogfood.
Miss Bootsy - Also keeps stealing the dogfood.
Chantal de l'Horloge - Following an affair with the King of the (Cat) Belgians, became the world's first scuba-diving cat, and shortly thereafter the world's first scuba-diving cat to be photographed and put on the internet with an amusing caption. It would be the latter more than the former which would put an end to her tumultuous diplomatic career.
Specks - Keeps stealing the dogfood.
* Scroogle is blocked again. Bah. It was previously blocked a couple months ago, but came back.
*![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
bossymarmalade made a great, but very sad post re: the Airbender movie and the consequences of racist casting.
* In the New York Times, Errol Morris does that thing he does, which is 1) become obsessed with a strange thing, 2) interview all the smartest people who know about that strange thing, and 3) produce an object that is fascinating, but ultimately terrifying. This time it was about the nature of Not Knowing Stuff, by way of neurology.
A year ago it was about... well, basically the same thing, but by way of art forgery and the Holocaust instead. (Spoilers: It ended up being more about the Holocaust than the art forgery. Because the Holocaust, being what it is, must necessarily devour any immediately adjacent narrative, if that narrative is told with a sense of perspective.
It strikes me as indicative of some personal dysfunction that I refer to the Holocaust in the present tense. I'm also unable to read Heart of Thomas without thinking that Juli probably died in a concentration camp.)
