I got this from Julian on Software. Im pretty sure hes wrong about cats not seeing anything on CRT screens – when Butch was younger, she used to be fascinated by National Geographic-type wildlife specials. If a scene showed birds flying across the screen, shed run to the side of the TV to get them when they came out.By the way, the post title comes from a ragtime tune.
Update 5/15/2007: I don’t know what happened. I noticed that the Metacafe link screwed up my font size on the rest of the page and tried to correct it. Ever since then, I can’t get the video to appear, although the blank area at the beginning of the post sometimes seems to act as a link to the original video at Metacafe. Strange and frustrating.
