How to toilet train a cat

by Suw on January 3, 2005

It had never previously occurred to me that one could toilet train a cat, but whilst I doubt either of ours would go for it, I can certainly see the sense if you have a younger cat and a small apartment.
(Thanks crw!)

The purity of the English language

by Suw on January 3, 2005

“The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.”
– James D. Nicoll
“English is the result of Norman men-at-arms attempting to pick up Saxon barmaids and is no more legitimate than any of the other results.”
– H. Beam Piper
(Thanks Kate!)
