Post by: mr.Curmudgeon on January 09, 2006, 07:11:47 pm: I'm curious if it was just some random defect, or if it was brought on by toxic mutant-making sludge.

Call it evolution in progress. For every successful evolution there are thousands of failures.

And aren't kitten eyes blue for the first month or so? I don't know if that varies from breed to breed though...

Post by: ChadTower on January 10, 2006, 12:17:45 pm: Guys, you're missing the point that IT WAS A FUBAR KITTEN. How are you going to compare it to regular kittens?

Often they are, but not always. That thing just looks too much like that irritating toy that was so hot at xmas a few years ago to be real. What the hell were those things called?

EDIT: Furby, that's what I was thinking of. Looks like a one-eyed Furby. Actually that' a pretty good insult. You look like a one-eyed Furby".

This is a dead kitten.

Which if you masturbators killed the FUBAR kitten?!

Is that a euphemism like "Oval Office?"

Post by: Bones on January 10, 2006, 04:50:42 pm: Rather than kill kittens in the traditional manner, my fruitless efforts of self satisfaction using my left hand is upsetting the natural balance.

Until my right hand has fully recovered such unholy abominations will continue.

Kramer: Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?
Jerry: It's impossible.

There are numerous cyclopic human infants preserved in medical museums. Cyclopia has been described in sheep, cattle and goats. Cyclopic infants, regardless of species, have a single monstrous eye in the middle of the forehead, underneath what remains of the nasal cavity. Those few that reach full term survive no more than a few days. The most usual cause is a mutation in the Sonic hedgehog gene and the degree of cyclopia depends on how badly the gene is damaged.
