I had a cat once who proudly brought me a mouse and made that hunter yowl. The mouse was still attached to a glue trap. It looked about a week dead.

This reminds me of when I left a raw steak on the counter and later heard the soft thump of cat paws hitting the floor, only to witness my little lionette walking stiff legged through the house growling with her kill dragging along between her legs in just this fashion.

Well, that wins you my internet for today. Going to go and get some kitchen towels and spend the rest of the day cleaning up the mess I just made.

Bradbury took that from Macbeth

“Thrice the brinded cat hath mew’d”

What is most depressing about today’s search algorithms is that when you type something wicked this way comes into Google the results are all about Ray Bradbury’s novel or the film of the same name. (One exception being ‘people also ask…’ where one mentions Macbeth.) All pretty much taking you to much the same information.

It is only when you type “something wicked this way comes” with the " " that real links to anything to do with Shakespeare or Macbeth start to appear.

By the pricking of my thumbs
Something wicked this way comes
Google panders to the dumbs

(Not that Bradbury’s work is at all dumb, of course, before I get jumped on.)

I run into stuff like this all the time. I search for a very specific term and it will pull up something else and to get it to find what i want i have to do some crazy Google Fu

“Do no evil.” Run the query.
Rinse, repeat, until you’re weary.
Add more Fu to each new search
'Til you’re no longer in the lurch.

“Do no evil” used to work,
Now it’s just an ad man’s jerk.
Something wicked that way came,
Search will never be the same.

“Do you like Shakespeare?”

“You mean the guy who wrote all those famous titles for other people’s books?”

“Er…well, yes, that too.”

The Holstein (our chubby cat with asymmetrical black and white fur) does this with any piece of fabric he can get his jaws on. :unamused:

Can someone sync this video with Counting Bodies Like Sheep?

Just surprised you don’t get Harry Potter.

There are worse problems with Google’s algorithm, though.

In time to come the Goo will learn
That youngsters searching for this term
Know not Ray, or Will, just Rowling,
And then results will leave us scowling.

Apologies not required. Everyone (incl. Bradbury) steals from the Shakes.

PS: Billy-boy was also known to have “borrowed” things.)
