Creepy.

Can you imagine walking into a dark room and seeing that one glowing cat's eye off in the corner...*shudder*

That this is a kitten? OMG! I second Chad's comment x10

mr.Curmudgeon · « **Reply #4 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.

I think it's cute though.

If the other one was normal, then it was a random defect.

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

Is that picture even real? The story said that it only lived one day. I've been around lots of newborn kittens. They don't open their eyes (eye?) for several days.

It's pretty deformed. Maybe it didn't have an eyelid.

Or, you could call it non-intelligent design.

The design of random probability.

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

ChadTower · « **Reply #11 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?

Ed_McCarron · « **Reply #12 on:** January 10, 2006, 12:18:44 pm »

Think of the kitten's feelings.

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".

ChadTower · « **Reply #15 on:** January 10, 2006, 12:21:11 pm »

A thought occurs.

This is a dead kitten.

Which if you masturbators killed the FUBAR kitten?!

Sorry guys, it was my fault.

Is that a euphemism like "Oval Office?"

Bones · « **Reply #22 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.

Who would have figured that this could actually be video game related?

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. Sonic hedgehog codes for a morphogen protein that instructs cells where they are, where to migrate to and what to become. When this protein malfunctions, the body

If my doctor every starts spouting off "Sonic Hedgehog" or "Bubsy" or "Princess Peach" in his diagnosis of myself, you can bet that he will then be cleaning up all the "Mr. Do" outta his pants after I go "Crash Bandicoot" on his ass.
