It was later converted to a human-powered aircraft employed in an infamous Alcatraz escape.

More importantly, whatever happened to the Puch Bergmeister?

Our cat had a kitten with two heads once, but I’m afraid that was it, no money.

i’m guessing this was the first time a cat had $100 bills stuck to its butt in my family too, although one never knows.

speaking of asian palm civets, AKA luwak, i was talking to an indonesian man once who claimed that they are somewhat endangered because they make such delicious satay, as in being the satay, not cooking it. luwak satay is as much a delicacy as luwak coffee, with the advantage that you don’t have to wait around for the beans to come out. it made me wonder how long it would be before luwak coffee farmers simply cut out the middleman, or middleluwak, and start eating and passing the beans themselves, and just labeling them luwak coffee.

Damn, I wish my parents had realized that we had child labor laws here… I’m told we do, but that never stopped them from making me help my dad with roofing (and spending all my time alternately covered in tar or up to my elbows in gasoline) for an entire summer to earn $50 bucks, which at the time was the most money I’d ever seen. There were never any $100 bills stuck to cat butts in our family, I’m afraid.

For a moment I wondered if your cat was an Asian Palm Civet. You know, the kind that shits expensive coffee.

I am going to have to start looking at my cats’ asses a LOT more closely.
