A dab of sunscreen on the top of Devon or Cornish heads is a good thing if they're out in direct sun. A poor Sphinx, on the other hand, just shouldn't go there...

The flying tuna eventually became extinct, because once they got on land, they didn't understand the concept of trees and kept either hitting the trunks and, well, dying, or landing in the leaves and getting stuck and, well, dying. But they did fertilize the trees quite nicely, and the authors of the study think this may have been how the Indians learned to use fish as fertilizer for their crops.

Aside of the rest of the article, which is solidly built around factual historic info, the quoted passage threatens to undermine the whole essay, if not corrected. Cats were waiting for tuna to land at the time in question, since tuna was flying. You can easily discern even today the aerodynamic qualities of tuna and its coloring similar to that of American Airlines... “…waiting for the hapless tuna to crawl up onto the beaches to spawn…”

Interesting combination, though... Infact, just the other day, me and the cat I am babysitting had a real test of wills. I sleep evenings. One thing I have learned is to keep my hands and legs under the blankets as they become playthings for the cats entertainment (while I sleep, of course). Unfortunately, I require a breathing hole for my face. One evening, I was awakened to a very, very light scratching on my cheek and nose as the cat (His name is Max) delicately would reach his paw out and try to get my attention so that his petting machine would get up and pet him. Being that I was sleeping, I nudged him off the bed (from under the blankets - of course). No to be deterred, he promptly back on the bed where I just as promptly pushed him off. After doing this severazl times, he finally gave up. Yep, my will was stronger. That is why we humans rule the world, of course. Yep, strength of will. Determination. When I got up later, I found a 'Baby Ruth' in the center of my bedroom floor. Oh well.
