Those poor cats!! :cry

Good thing I don't live in Russia.. *is paranoid asks her parents if they paid their bills this month anyway* :uhoh

[Park Kraken]

Probaly what they will do is sell the cats to a violen company to collect funds for the missing payments. Pay up! or your cat will become a Violen!

[Darth Viscera]

That would be one hairy violin.

[ReaperFett]

Would they meow when played? It's be like a Tom & Jerry cartoon :)

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Cat gut strings play the best. ;)

[Darth Viscera]

Hollie, remind me to never let you touch my kitty. I'm not gonna let you eye Hermes all the while thinking what a good cello he would make.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

He's big, hmmm? So mebbe a bass.... ;)

I love kitties! *hugs Hermes when Visc isn't looking* :(

You named you cat after a British WW2 Light Aircraft Carrier?
If your cat followes the history of the ship, then Somerville will command the cat, and the cat will be stringed by the Japanese.

I'm sure it had nothing to do with the Greek Messenger of the Gods. Nothing at all.

This is Viscera who we're talking about naming a cat, right?

[Darth Viscera]

Both my cats are named after Greek gods. Ares & Hermes. Fits my pretentious personality :)

[Lilaena De'Ville]

BTW that Loch Ness walker...will prolly get eaten. BY DA MONSTA!

[Darth Viscera]

You, madam, are nuts.

They need special cameras that can see through milkes of murky water and finally prove there is or -isnt- a monster in that stupid lake.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

That lake is pretty big... Loch Ness is something like 26 miles long, and pretty deep in spots. It'll be hard to find anything in there, no matter the current technology used.

[Crystal]

Well.. then they need cameras that can see 26 miles through murky water!! Then again, they also need cameras that can see ghosts and all that stuff as well.



I actually never thought about it, I figured it was just a normal lake and didn't understand what the deal was with "Nessy"

[ReaperFett]

It's not true.

The first sighting of the monster was the same year that King Kong came out in the cinema, where a large creature rose to attack a raft. The first description given on that dark night on Loch Ness? "It was like the thing in King Kong.".

Your mind will often "fill in gaps" for what you saw. They did an experiment on TV where they suprised some tourists with a pole bobbing in the water, by string. The guide pretended that this was a real tour and always kept clipboards to draw sightings. Of those that saw it, the majority drew a monster shape. Like an upside down L, curved? All that was there was a pole, like I. Where did the extra part come from?

[Park Kraken]

They need to land a Arleigh Burke Destroyer in there, and start the sonar running. After a underwater target is acquired, fire a series of ASROC missiles, and see what remains. Is that flesh from the Loch Ness monster, or our diver?
