Cat-Scan.com is one of the strangest sites I've seen in some time. I have no idea how these people got their cats wedged into their scanners, or why.

It seems Cat-Scans is currently redesigning their site, but there archives are still there. I don't know if I agree with squeezing cats into a scanner for the pleasure of the internet viewing public. It just seems cruel to me. posted by Mahogne at 6:42 PM on June 13, 2001
From the rules: Try to avoid scanning the Cat's genitals. We really don't need to see Fluffy's junk up close and personal.
Fluffy porn. Not good. I agree to that rules. posted by Mahogne at 6:44 PM on June 13, 2001
What they should have added to the rule about the 'Try using props...' is Try to avoid using your genitals as props. posted by Mahogne at 6:45 PM on June 13, 2001

The Scan-dinavian site I found had a whole bunch of scanned naturalist / nudist pics. posted by Mahogne at 8:38 AM on June 14, 2001

I have never attempted to scan a cat. I wouldn't even know where to start. In fact, I don't think I agree with it. posted by Mahogne at 7:33 PM on June 14, 2001
Hey Mahogne, lock up when you're done around here, willya? posted by turaho at 4:13 PM on June 15, 2001

I propose that 19 should become the 1142 for C-listers!
Yeah, we're 1337, but not that 1337! posted by turaho at 4:05 PM on June 19, 2001
I think 19 should be used for discussion about Cat-scans, and some spin off discussions about other types of scans, cats, and popsicles. posted by Mahogne at 6:58 PM on June 19, 2001
I'm not sure what frightens me more: the X8IB plague or the Zippity* plague. I'll be in my underground bunker if you need me. With the forcefield on. posted by iceberg273 at 12:38 PM on July 9, 2001

But then again, maybe none of us are the last. I mean, who's to say who is definitively the "last" among lasts? I mean life is long and when you look at it from the perspective of say, a mayfly, or an aubergine, eggplant if you will, then the last could really be composed of all the firsts in the world put together in a blinding eye-stab flash of all the monkeys in the world exploding in the same instant, from having misread the directions on the Alka-Seltzer bottle. Then you see that the last is indeed the penultimate, just as the New World monkey, because of the prehensile tail, is in fact the fourth-to-last monkey, in the greater scheme of things. We are the supernova, the mote in the eye of thread 19.
And Paul Hardcastle never really had much to say about it.

ColdChef, that's not fair! Kafkaesque started it with all that Paul Hardcastle propaganda. He is now officially the John Denver of this thread. But - I hear you ask and hark accordingly - are his lyrics any worse? Oh yes.
For this, and to spite the newcomer evanizer, from whom no good will come, I nominate my pal palegirl as the keeper of the flame.[All email jpoulos!] posted by MiguelCardoso at 8:42 PM on February 10, 2002

there's the front page.... and then... there are the catacombs.

Me. It was me. A single mention by me ( that's me) on 11629 in October of last year brought this thread back from the dead. And I can do it again. Just watch me. Paul Hardcastle my patootie, I AM JOHN DENVER.
Let's see, limericks are always popular amongst the unwashed masses:
There was a young Man from Corvallis*
Who constantly wrote with his phallus
He fell off a cliff
But still remained stiff
And continued his poem in the talus
* A very nice college town in Oregon with a pioneer-French name - Cor (coeur:heart) vallis (vallais:heart), strangely enough in the middle of a valley. Right down the road from Philomath. Nowhere near Drain or Boring. Or Bend for that matter. posted by skyscraper at 10:41 PM on May 2, 2002

Yet, if I (that's me) revive this thread, I face the wrath of the Keeper of the Bandwidth. What to do? Ha! I shall salve my conscience by Donating (Look down and to the right. Yes there, at the bottom of the page, just to the right of Search). You too, then we will meet again, creeping in the dank diggings of the catacombs.
