It turns out, Grumpy Cat is actually a cat with feline dwarfism, giving it a permanently unhappy face and slightly odd back legs. It's also a favorite of my cousin Nadine, and thus my FB wall has seen quite a bit of grumpy cat.
Along those lines, Sushi cats. It's a thing whereby live, full-sized cats are somehow convinced to sit on a rice pillow thing, and wrapped with a strip of what appears to be nori and other items. "Do they EAT THEM?!" - My labmate walked into the conversation halfway through and was adorably confused. Official website, in Japanese but Google Chrome'll translate that for you.
Also a very different Japanese trend, bagelheads (also called donut heads); whereby people inject saline into their foreheads creating a circular shape with a depression in the center as a form of body modification. Apparently it only lasts about 16 hours? Reports vary.
i have learned/googled some stuff today, yeah.
Booked for Murder, a oddly named local mystery bookstore changing hands. i've always had theories that this place was a cover for other businesses, but looks like it's just a bookstore after all.
Deja vu isn't uncommon. Apparently, it's particularly common in 15-25 year olds, and "has been firmly associated with temporal-lobe epilepsy. Reportedly, déjà vu can occur just prior to a temporal-lobe seizure. People suffering a seizure of this kind can experience déjà vu during the actual seizure activity or in the moments between convulsions." i personally have them a lot, and that kind of freaks me out. And according to the Matrix, "A déjà vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change something. ".
The pros and cons of coffee drinking, nothing new but all laid out in a single graphic here.
