I saw the cat one and I was highly amused. Great find Howl. It makes me wonder how animals would adapt and cope in space. I know they took up spiders into space but little else.

The Higgs Boson forbidding itself from being created sounds almost straight out of a comic strip, but I've often wondered about whether future events designed to travel through time could be influencing the present or the past. I once read someone suggesting that the Titanic sank because of all the stow-away time travelers adding weight, because every time traveler seems to end up there sooner or later, on board the ship right before the iceberg.
