cat killer

i ran over a cat when i was driving home today ... happened on my street ... he came running out of nowhere ... poor guy ... i looked in my rearview and i saw him lying there ... i stopped and put the car in reverse back to the scene of the crime ... got out and looked at him ... i could see that i hadn't actually run over him ... that is there was no blood or guts ... but he was lying there motionless ... his eyes staring into space ... there is something chilling about a dead person's eyes ... or dead animal's eyes in this case ... though they are open you can somehow tell there is no life in them ... anyway i gave him a little tap with my foot ... and he just kind of moved with the tap ... like a lump ... he was clearly gone ... anyway i stood there a little longer ... just looking at him ... then i got back in the car and went home ... so this thread is dedicated to him ... or her ... rest in peace little guy ...

there is a God

i can understand people who don't like religion ... what i can't understand is people who say there is no god ... i mean when you read things like this or this ... then you tell me there is no creator ... it just doesn't make sense to me ... i mean such things cannot be the result of some random explosion that happened when some gases collided ... that's just ridiculous ...

big cat little cat

there is this cat who lives in my building .. and there is this smaller cat who follows him around .. i guess it's his son .. or daughter .. i don't know .. i like to give them milk .. i cut a plastic cup in half and use that as a bowl .. however it's not big enough for both of them to drink out of at the same time .. so they have to learn to share .. it's funny because they both want to drink but only one can do so at a time .. so they take turns .. here is a video of them doing just that .. as you can see the big guy drinks .. the little guy watches him and tries to get in but to no avail .. then when the big guy decides to take a break the little guy moves in .. then when the big guy decides it's his turn again he just sort of headbutts the little guy out of the way .. this video was made at around 1:30 am .. i had just gotten home from work and there they were waiting for me at my doorstep .. yes i got home from work at 1:30 am .. we are working two shifts in ramadan and let me tell you it is hell .. you can kind of hear the salat il-qiyam in the background ..

Fake Zebras

A Palestinian boy touches a dyed donkey at Marah Land zoo in Gaza City. Two white donkeys dyed with black stripes delighted Palestinian kids at a small Gaza zoo on Thursday who had never seen a zebra in the flesh. A genuine zebra would have been too expensive to bring into Israel-blockaded Gaza via the smuggling tunnels under the border with Egypt, said zoo owner Mohammed Bargouthi. The Marah Land Zoo's only two zebras died of hunger earlier this year during the war on Gaza. (REUTERS/Mohammed Salem)

Seriously

i'm all for "the ethical treatment of animals" ... but there's nothing wrong with swatting flies in my opinion ... i mean it's not like he clubbed a baby seal ... also ... it's not like flies are facing extinction ...
