they’re secretly engaged in human activities - like fixing computers(..) The rational part of us knows this isn’t so, but somewhere deep

down we want to believe that our cats could really be cyclists. Orhovercrafts.”

How to lolspeak – icanhascheezburger.com

“(..) giving animals speech and then making them talkfunny is all about distinguishing who is like us and whois not. Not just who is human and who is not, but also,

who is a native English speaker and who is, say, aMexican immigrant.”
