Sorry, not really. (Well, not necessarily. Uh, I mean, I didn't have any reason to say that, other than as a humorous example of a controversial subject. Argue amongst yourselves if you so wish, but don't blame me. Just look at this bracket, it's amazing how many words saying nothing takes up :))

Where is everyone? My "inbox" has been nearly unclogged of lj updates recently -- have you all become productive or something? Have you all moved to chiark or myspace?

ETA: OK, that seemed to work :)

But that would be analogous to the syllogism:

A Siamese is a cat.
Minsky is a cat.
Therefore Minsky is a Siamese.

(He isn't, although he does have some Siamese ancestry; he's the fine-looking chap in the icon.)

Very disturbing glowing green eyes in that icon. Either your cat is a 1970s Doctor Who villain, or there was a curious lighting effect involved :-)

It was the flash. I could have tidied it up with the red-eye reduction in Paint Shop Pro, but it rather suited the icon to leave it as it was. :-)

Seconded. Though I'm voting for "android" :)

I think that may have been the point... :)

Want comments on your LJ? Simply throw in some bad maths...
Though "look at my cat" also works well as a strategy ;-)

You're right. Somehow my pride always prevents me doing so deliberately, however careless I am... :) And I don't have a cat. Ooh, wait, I had an idea.

"look at my nonexistent cat"?

ROFL. Yes, I need a "black cat in coal cellar" icon. Probably with some kind of obligatory Schrödinger pun, I suppose.
