Dehydration is a common cause for cats to be 'ill' and brought to the vet,* so it could be that their piss reeks because they are having to concentrate it so much in the first place.

*source: a dimly remembered conversation with a vet friend when I asked her why she was adding water to the already wet food for her cat. She said her cat could never be encouraged to drink enough, so it was her way of staving off the annoyance of giving iv fluids to her own animal someday.

Damn, how do they get the price of the ink so low? I would kill for large size prints of my guts innards for $5.

My mind somehow meshes the ideas from butcher's dresden books, where your belief in an icon as a symbol of the faith matters more than its actual connection to the religion, and lackey's high magic (compared to the wild magic) where the collective energy of the populace can be collected and stored to be used. So I end up with this idea where the catholic church has collected a vast amount of energy to be used, and the utterance of latin is the individual's (in this case constantine's) personal symbolic link to the catholic church to harness that energy.

That always made me do a double take in hades. Everytime he was called 'prince zed' by sisyphus I had to take a second to think about what was being said.

Wait until you learn why it's called epinephrine. Then you'll really roll your eyes.

Don't you dare say waddling is from across the pond. Here in america, more than 60% of our population waddles about!

Okay, look, exponents are okay, but when you start using factorials with decimals in the exponents? You're just a jerk.

Why the fuck would I take the cup out of my room, mom/dad/insert-authoritarian-asshole-here? I'm drinking from it, goddamnit.

Right, but what if you were a teenager, still mostly inexperienced and vulnerable to people claiming to be authorities, and it was just presented to you rather than being sought out? We've already seen it happen on tumblr, back in its heyday. That sort of 'happenstance education' can shape your ideas for the rest of your life.
