ION, this is a fairly simple wooden chair that I think is just beautiful:
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

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

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Oh dear! Of course, my cat tried to kill me, and now I have another one. She came declawed, though.

Having originally missed the link to the chimp article, ita's post had me really alarmed for a moment.

that man is a Darwin award waiting to happen. I hope he didn't breed when he could.

Do they teach Krav defense against chimp attack?
Chimps, according to every source I could find, are frighteningly strong - something like seven times stronger than an adult human. Possibly stronger than that, even. Being chimps, it's difficult to get them to just show us how much they can bench, but according to this source at least one study has been done to test chimps' pulling strength. In the test, a 165 pound male chimp pulled, with one arm, 847 pounds. And this isn't even necessarily the limit of its strength - it's just when the chimp got bored of pulling. Also - get a load of this - in the same study, a 135 pound female chimp pulled 1,260 pounds! With one arm! I won't get into how much I can lift... but not that much.
The rest of the article has a paragraph about what chimps have done to children. Damn.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I don't see the big deal -- people often have their pets in their weddings. It's goofy, but I don't know that its evidence of a wildly-skewed world view.
Their pet got taken away and stuck in a shitty sanctuary where they were injured when animals escaped. Then he was stuck in another shitty sanctuary that let HIM escape.
Now their pet, who they've had for forty years, is likely to end up shot. It's horrible.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I would posit that the upshot of the story is that many wild animals make crappy pets.
(Now of course I am stuck with the idea of dogs wearing diapers rather than be trained, and having giggleworthy thoughts about whether the diapers would have to match the wedding decor.)

Now I'm thinking about dogs attending funerals, where they have to wear black diapers.

I think Fran Drescher did too. You see it on weird cable shows too.

In that story, they make bad sanctuary inhabitants. Or there are plenty of bad sanctuaries.
I agree they make bad pets, btw -- but forty years ago when they brought the little guy home people were dumber about such things... and they didn't sell him to a lab (which happened plenty), they did the best they could by him. And now there is a good chance he'll end up dead.
