Error: Cat Between User And Keyboard
This is what happens when I suddenly stop answering pings on IM -- there is a large red cat sitting on me!
Captured just now by the Nazgul with the Pentax that is neither new nor mine, but still brilliant -- this was taken without a flash!

That's what the four fuzzies are doing with me right now!
Jakob -- my enormously fat tom cat (he weighs in at 18 pounds *le gasp*) -- thinks it is far more important that he have my attention than my work. Leopold -- my second enormously fat tom cat who is just 1.3 pounds slimmer -- won't be picked up or patted, but he loves to rub his head against my bare feet and it tickles!!!!
And the kittens think that the cords to the laptop were provided solely for their entertainment. :D

Alas, I expend my efforts on my students so my family walks all over me.
Literally. (As 18 pounds of fur steps on my stomach.) :)

The size of a cat's paws are inversely proportionate to the cat's weight. Fatter cat = tinier paws = more PSI.

Yes, even my 6 pound kittens cause me physical pain.
And why is it that pulling them away from an object to which they are attached (eg, the sofa) requires four grown men???

But really, out there in the alpine foothills, things can be a bit strange. Lucifer has this lynx thing, and Mephisto is odd anyway -- who better to blame than the Austrians? As Bavarians and Austrians have been blaming each other for ages, anyway.
An ancient joke I heard from an ancient Bavarian:
At the border between Bavaria and Austria, some unhappy individual has hung himself on a tree just this side of the border. When a Bavarian border patrol comes by, they wonder what to do, decide they don't want all the hassle with the paperwork etc., take him down, and then hoist him up again on a tree just a few steps inside Austria, and walk on. After a while, an Austrian patrol comes by, and they stare at the corpse and go, 'How very odd, now he's back again!'
-- Of course, in Austria the joke is told exactly the same, just with the roles reversed.

Never heard that joke, nor had I heard the one d_j loooves about how there's only a string inside our heads and nothing else, guess what it is for.
Skype-secret: hit three keys at the same time (one after the other is easiest) and wait what happens. People thought it is only if you type cattttttttttttttt but it works with all three. I wouldn't have told you if I could have shown you instead.
