Random Writings – Friday
Two assignments are due today. One is the current event and the other is your science paper.
Let’s do the current event first.
Prompt: Tell about a current event in pop culture
Dancing With the Stars Update
- Hasselloff – off
- Michael – bolted
- Cho – go
- Palin – ailing (she finished in the bottom two behind Margaret Cho)
And now your science paper.
Cat Flat
I have a cat named Buddy. His official name is Buddy T. Cat with the “T” standing for The. Recently, Buddy became ill and had to have a visit from the mobile veterinarian and medicine to be given twice daily. This is what is wrong with the health care system. Buddy’s home doctor visit for his health care was $500. My long term care policy is $2000, but that is another story.
Shortly after his medicinal intake began I noticed a definite change. The medicine gives him gas. First of all, I was not aware that cats perform this bodily function. Nevertheless feline flatulence exists. These are silent, eye-watering, gag-reflexing, room clearing, near deadly passages of gas. There’s nothing like being riveted to a TV program and suddenly the room fills with odorous aromas potent enough to wake the dead. My favorite is the morning wake-up call. His butt is usually pointed at my face. I awake to a foul smelling odor that is strong enough to rouse the dead, heal the sick and make the blind see. It is better than any alarm clock to get you out of bed.
If I could harness this gas, I am certain I could invent something that would be Nobel worthy. But how does one capture and store feline farts? And what uses would there be for cat flatulence? One current possibility could be for military use. I guarantee a couple of tear gas canisters laced with feline farts will clear the caves of Al Qaeda if not the next village.
Perhaps I will do my science fair project on this topic. Maybe Miss Lillian will judge.
Until then I will have to endure Fluffy the Farting Feline.
