flea, I've heard tell that whippets are very bright and quirky and vaguely catlike. The only whippet I've personally met didn't strike me as especially catlike, but he was certainly very poised and self-possessed and gentlemanly. Also, they're prone to fewer ugly genetic issues than most purebreds (I saw one book that claimed whippets in fact have none at all -- don't know how true that is, but anything even close to that is good).

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
There is something wrong with the headline " Woman's body found in Arundel tributary" being right next to the headline and photo from an entirely unrelated story titled "Springtime at the dump."
That still seems to be the case. The first shooting was about two hours earlier, also. Freaky.
To clarify:
One shooter, one victim, about 7:15 in a dorm - both shooter and victim are dead.
About two hours later - another shooter, right now about 20 dead and 20 wounded, and that shooter is still on the loose.
I'm majorly wigged. But not as much as my sister, whose birthday falls this week. (Waco, Columbine, and now this?)
Ooh, I can totally see you with a whippet jz -- so very Art Deco.
I'm sorry, there is a shooting in a dorm at 7:15 am and you're still having classes at 9:30? WTF?
Horrible cross-post. Twenty dead? There are no words. Or, plenty of words, but none fully adequate.
It is very wigg worthy. How awful.
Edit: The shootings not whippets.

That is weird. The reports are still pretty chaotic though, maybe it will make more sense once the reporting settles down.
One of the daughters of my coworker goes to school there. Thankfully, she's okay.
