Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Natter 44 Would Only Weigh Natter 15 on Mars.

No. ear. worms.

Wasn't Natter 38 already named after a gun?

You call that a gun? Pfft.

Let's see if the internet is any help.

Um. Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC.

Natter 44BC: Et Tu, Buffista?

Er, in 44 AD, "Emperor Claudius returns from his British campaign in triumph." Nah, nothing there.

Messier Object M44 is also known as the Beehive Cluster.

Natter M44: Oh Beehive!

That would really appeal to the astronomy/Kenneth Williams fans.

Ooh, 44 is the international dialling code for the UK.

Natter +44: Calling London

With that poor showing, I retire from the field.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Natter M44: Oh Beehive!

Perversely (?), I actually like this one. But does messiest object 44 have a name?

Our wings are not tired.

Natter 44BC: Et Tu, Buffista?

That's random enough for me. I had thought about the 44 dialing code, but didn't see a thread name there.

Natter .44 Magnum: Do you feel chatty, punk?

That's fun.

I think Natter 44 will likely be Stompy's Surprise because not a whole lot of consensing going on.

Damn, I just remembered - isn't Dirty Harry's a .357 Magnum and not a .44? Crap, I kinda liked that one. Ce la vi.

Ann, that's a ferret.

OK. We now have a title for Natter 357. Which we should reach in 2033 or so.
