Infinitive Splitter

Look at me! I have colors and legible text!

Thanks to good friend and talented musician Allan Chappelear for the upgrade.

One of these days I’ll have some content to justify the new look. For now, all I have for you is a thought on media consumption and the consumer’s state of mind.

Do you ever come across news on the Information Superhighway that seems too strange to be real anywhere other than your own sleep-deprived or intoxicated universe? No? Well I do.

(This also works with odd-hour news broadcasts — I have been informed by my television whilst half-asleep of more unthinkable tragedies and Important Official Announcements than I care to enumerate. Often this means hearing the implausible news when I wake up, then being shocked when I get to work that it’s still true.)

Anyway, I saw a story on the internet this morning that seemed to fit this mold. Sort of. Nothing had blown up or anything, but I was very tired and it didn’t seem real. This being America, I shouldn’t have been so surprised to see that the story was still there when I woke up from a nap several hours later, but I was. Maybe it’s just me, but this seems like something that shouldn’t happen in a sane world:

Tomkitten’s “first poop” goes on display in New York

But there it is.

Thanks again to Allan for making all of this possible. Technology!
