I suspected a cat was involved.


Speaking of which, I recently discovered that a cat toebean can operate an iphone touch screen. I was calling my insurance company which always takes several minutes to enter my phone number, policy number, birthdate, etc. etc. etc. The phone was sitting face up on the desk. After several more minutes on hold, a human answered and just at that moment, the cat walked across the phone and hung up the call.

A little-known fact of history: Three-time winner of the National Hnefatafl Bowl, Torvald the Game Token King, was considered way cooler than Eric the Red.

And that's the truth. Yes
