The Cat Before Christmas

December 2nd 2009 15:10
cat
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
Cos the cat had pounced on him and tore him apart
Ate his mousey intestines and chewed up his heart.
Kitty thought he heard sleigh bells, which made him take pause
He stopped daintily licking the blood from his claws.
"Must be Santa", thought Kitty, that quite clever cat.
"Cos nobody else climbs down the chimney like that."
Indeed it was old Santa, so jolly and fat
With a load of presents, and all for the cat!
"Wow, the best Christmas ever!" Kitty thought with a purr,
Then he coughed up a hairball and shed some more fur.

Replacing Mouse Balls!

This reportedly was a real memo sent by Logitech during the late 1980's. As I've actually set this post up in a hurry in advance due to being on holiday, I haven't had time to check it's authenticity as yet, but it's still good for a laugh regardless.
Supposedly it was sent to all field engineers about a computer peripheral problem. The author of this memo was quite serious. The engineers rolled on the floor!

Having been asked the other day whether we, as Australians, live in actual houses? (As opposed to what I don't know - tents perhaps???) I've decided to list some of the most common questions asked by visitors to Australia as were pointed out recently by one of our tourism websites.


Q: Does it ever get windy in Australia? I've never seen it rain on TV. How do your plants grow? (UK)
