Take a look at this little cat, Nala. Spot anything unusual in her eye?

She's on a mission. Nala is looking for stuff she could use. Like women's underwear, socks, children's clothes, and in particular, soft teddybears.

Since Nala's owners doesn't award her any pocket money for being a cuddly cat so that she could go buy her own underwear and teddy, she tends to raid her neighborhood for goodies at night, then drag her good finds back home where she silently enjoys her fetishes behind a bush.

I don't blame Nala's owners for thinking this is pure thievery and wanting to bring the stuff back. They are so embarrased over Nala's silent treasure hunts that they even posted a disclaimer in the paper to warn their neighbors...

...unfortunate events, Mr. 12's absolute favorite literature, has become film! Check out this amazing website. Found an IM icon there... smart marketing, because now we can't wait til December...

Here is an eye for you, too!

Take a look at this little friend:

A Sand Goby, or Pomatoschistus minutus if you will, is a curious little fish daddy. According to research by Kai Lindstr�m, Christophe Pampoulie, and Colette St. Mary, Mr. Sand Goby likes his offspring so much that he just can't help nibbling away at it. When Mummy Guby is not there, that is.

In the Sand Gubies world, the male takes care of the eggs. Research shows that when there are females around, the male will work harder and better to protect their eggs - but if they weren't, the little ones stood a good chance of ending up as breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack for daddy Sand Guby. How interesting!

Update: The Sand Guby article in English

My friend Britt, an English teacher in China, sends me the most hilarious accounts of her extraordinary, lively experiences. This morning, she wrote about the dating bar Mayflower, where a phone is installed at every table. When you see someone attractive sitting at another table, you pick up the phone and make a call to invite them over to your table. But wait! There are rules for decent behavior, of course:

For men:

1. Remember that you are not to seduce strange women but only to spend time

with her to discuss some questions about life, then you can go to a disco

together.

2. Attention: Unless you are sure that you can escape from dangers, never call

a lady who comes in with several strong men, no matter how attractive she

looks.

3. Unless you are lonely, don't call a table with more than three women,

otherwise it is your own responsibility.

4. You'd better look around before making a call for fear that you will take a

dragon as a peacock. (It is suggested that you go upstairs by the left

staircase and come back down by the the right staircase, you'd better spent at

least 2 minutes on the second floor so that everyone will think that you just

went to the water toilet.)

5. If the lady you called speaks mandarin, then you can speak Nanchang if she

speaks Chengduhua, you can speak Shuangliuhua; if she speaks Shuangliuhua, you can speak a foreign language, if she speaks English, you'd better keep quiet

(Wednesday is an exception cause it is English Corner day)

6. Take time to talk with her before you invite a lady, trying to find out who

you are talking to is very important, ask her for her membership......

7. Buy her a cup of drink for when you invite her, for example, a cup

of "Pretty Woman" only cost RMB28.00, she will be surprised and excited and

might even cry out: " What a romantic drink!?"

8. If the girl who comes to you let you down, please treat her as best you can,

maybe you can get something unexpected.

9. If the girl hangs up on you rudely, don't be so sad, it is just such a

common thing that happens every day. Hold the line and keep speaking on the

phone as if no one has refused you - but keep to yourself.

For women:

1. If you receive a man's call, don't think that is just discussing some

questions with you about life, but it is a happy time to be treated as a queen.

At least it shows that you are attractive.

2. Attentions: This is only a game, you will be very happy if you play the game

seriously: you have to face the consequences if you keep on being serious after

the game.

3. Man is kind of animal which is easy to lose its direction, but the man who lost its direction is also dangerous and lovely,

control yourself.

4. Don't accept the invitation at once even if you feel good about it, you will

be more attractive by staying a bit mysterious.

5. Don't get drunk before getting a call, a cup of juice is a good choice, for

the man will buy you red wine after his call, but you'd better not let the man

spent too much, otherwise he will be dark-face.

6. Be sure to leave before you get drunk, or call your companions in case you

get drunk. Don't dial 110, don't say that you are Allen's sister, Allen only

has one car. (Allen is the owner of the bar)

7. Be calm if you decide to call a handsome man. Take your eyeglasses and take

a deep breath.

8. Don't trust a man's word, the best way to know a man is sitting with him

until he is drunk.

9. It is not good to hang up on a man without saying a word, it is not polite.

If you do hate him, just say one word: "pei", but softly.

Diane is proudly presenting to us the contents of her daughter's rapidly growing vocabulary. I often wonder weather there is a significant correlation between a baby's first word and their personality/future interests or if this is entirely coincidental. Mr. Twelve's first word was 'yys - "lys" (light in English). Years later, his greatest passion have become lasers of all kinds and sizes, and fog machines, of course, so that he can beam the laser through something spooky. (Please DO NOT send us one, thank you:-) I wonder what my own first word was, but somehow I have forgotten that spectacular moment.

Diane's Jane seems to be particularly interested in food. Blueberries sure taste tasty..

"Yesterday we learned that the most efficient way to find ALL the blueberries in the blueberry yogurt is by pouring all the yogurt on the table when Mommy's not looking, then mushing it around with our hands. Of course, this is messy, but you can always wipe your hands on your head..."

A Netscape Channel is laying out some rather weird laws for us. Strangely enough, I didn't come across any inappropriate laws for the oh so obedient residents of MA, but did you know that:

If you're a woman AND reside in Norfolk, VA, you are breaking the law if you go outside without a corset.

In Florida, there is a high concern about parachuting on Sunday afternoons - forbidden to you if you're single, divorced, or a widowed woman.

And before you go ahead and bash the poor American people for their nurturing, loving and affectionate laws - bear in mind that topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool (England) - although only in tropical fish stores.
