The cutest browser ad you will see all day.

It's a playable casual puzzle game, implemented in HTML. It wants you to load it in IE9 to unlock later levels, but works just fine in Firefox for all the introductory stuff. And it's ADORABLE.

Baptist preacher kidnaps neighbour's cat, keeps it in a cage in the back of his truck without food or water for three days, is informed by animal control and police that this is NOT cool and look the thing is wearing a tag with the owner's name and address, give us that cat. Preacher tells them not to bother, those are his neighbours, he'll take the cat home and give it back. Police and animal control agree because they're apparently stupid and don't know what fundies are like.

Cat's dead body found, thrown off a bridge.

Here are some common patterns using the root k t b, whose basic meaning is 'writing':


From "why Arabic is terrific", which also contains the hilarious "Glottal stops are everywhere in English but we are not trained to hear them, so a long portion of one of your first Arabic classes will be devoted to blowing your mind with the fact that English words like 'apple' and 'elegant' do not start with a vowel" and the absolutely true "There's something about intelligence agencies - maybe the familiar comfort of a three-letter acronym on the wall, maybe the late-night spanking parties - that draws fraternity boys like ants to a picnic, and right now the road to bro advancement leads through an Arabic classroom. Their complete lack of a sense of irony allows these students to combine sincere appreciation for The Fountainhead with a desire for a lifelong career in government service, and the hardest part of studying Arabic is having to listen to their asinine opinions after they have gained enough proficiency to try to express them."


EDIT: Replaced the table with an image of the table, since Livejournal wanted to add a dozen BR tags before it for some stupid reason.
