Langkah Pertama

Ada saja yang niat mengunggah yang seperti ini.

Gigi Emas untuk si Meong

Ternyata di dunia ini ada dokter gigi yang rela memasangkan gigi emas untuk kucingnya...

Steele said the procedure only took him 10 to 15 minutes to finish and said he is happy with the results, but said there was a significant cost attached to the procedure.

"It cost the same as it would for a human being which is about $900 a tooth," he said. "I would probably do this for someone else, but they would have to bend my arm pretty hard. It would cost a little more because it’s harder to work on animals."

Garfield is Dead

Kebetulan menemukannya via Boingboing, tertanggal 5 Agustus 2006.

Sebenarnya bukan mengenai kematian Garfield, melainkan suasana menyeramkan dalam kesendirian yang diangkat untuk meramaikan Haloween tahun 1989.

Imajinasi adalah sebuah alat yang sangat kuat, dapat mewarnai kenangan masa lalu, membayangi persepsi masa kini, atau melukis masa depan begitu jelas sehingga dapat memikat... atau menakut-nakuti, semua tergantung bagaimana kita membawa diri kita hari ini...

Felix vs Avian Flu

(Kyodo News). A case of cat infection by the H5N1 strain of bird flu has been detected in Indonesia, a World Health Organization medical officer in Jakarta said Monday.
"We have evidence of one cat in Indonesia that has already been infected by this virus," said Steven Bjorge, medical officer for the WHO's Communicable Disease Section.
Bjorge, speaking in a panel discussion at the Jakarta Foreign Correspondents' Club, said he thinks the cat "was infected by probably eating contaminated birds."
"This is a very rare disease. It's extremely difficult for this virus to be passed on to humans," he said, downplaying concerns about cross-species transmission of the virus.
There are no recorded cases of cat-to-human H5N1 infection anywhere in the world.
Trisatya Naipospos, the government's top adviser on H5N1 strategy, told the panel there have been unpublished studies of other cats in Indonesia being tested positive for the H5N1 strain of bird flu.
There have been a number of cases of feline infection by the dangerous H5N1 strain of avian flu outside of Indonesia, all of which appear to have been associated with outbreaks in domestic or wild birds and acquired through ingestion of raw meat from an infected bird.
In December 2003, two tigers and two leopards that were fed with fresh chicken carcasses died of H5N1 infection at a zoo in Thailand. In October 2004, 147 of 441 captive tigers in another zoo in Thailand died or were euthanized as a result of infection after being fed with fresh chicken carcasses.
Civet cats have died of bird flu in Vietnam, while earlier this year a domestic cat in Germany became the first case of a European Union mammal dying of bird flu. There have also been cases of martens, pigs and ferrets being infected.
Naipospos genetic analysis shows the virus isolated from humans is exactly the same as that found in birds, "so we can say here now that our problem is still with birds, with poultry."
Indonesia's Health Ministry says the WHO has confirmed 52 cases of humans infected by bird flu in Indonesia, of which 39 resulted in death. But the WHO says there have been 50 cases with 38 deaths in the country.

Neko Nyanbou

Tersebutlah sebuah kotowaza (peribahasa Jepang)

Neko no te mo karitai hodo isogashii.

"Sedemikian sibuknya sampai ingin meminjam tangan kucing".

Nah, berdasarkan kiasan tersebutlah, Bandai bulan ini kembali mempromosikan rilis benda aneh (yang selain lucu, juga cukup mengerikan)... Neko Nyanbou. Tak lain tak bukan, tangan kucing itu sendiri.



Tampil dengan bulu nilon tiga warna: belang abu, belang cokelat, dan hitam berkaus kaki, perangkat ini dilengkapi cakar yang bisa dimunculkan dengan menekan tuas di pangkal lengan.

Selain untuk menggaruk punggung, ada beberapa contoh kegunaan menggelikan yang dikemukakan:



Episode Kantoran
- di tengah kesibukan, jangan sampai tertukar dengan hp
(tentu saja tak bakal nyambung)
- untuk membangunkan rekan kerja yang ketiduran
(hati-hati menggunakannya pada atasan)



Episode Pacaran
- ketika minta maaf habis bertengkar dengan sang kekasih...
(setelah berbaikan, bermanjalah)
- ketika membujuk minta dibelikan barang mahal
(mungkin akan benar-benar dibelikan)



Episode Pribadi
- ketika ingin meraih benda yang agak jauh...
(gunakanlah dengan anggun)
- ketika ingin bermain dengan kucing betulan
(pikirkan juga perasaan kucingnya)


Episode Sekolahan
- yaa, belang cokelat garis-garis yang ngacung di belakang sana!
(awas mungkin saja dimarahi guru)
Episode Internasional
- menghapus kesenjangan batas negara dengan Neko Nyanbou
(sebut saja, Internyasionyal)

Kabarnya benda ini pernah mendobrak pasaran 20 tahun yang lalu, kini hanya rilis ulang, dan mulai digembargemborkan sejak 14 Februari, sebagai salah satu alternatif hadiah Valentine. Harganya 900 yen: dibilang mahal, yah gak terlalu.
Tapi berhubung aku sudah punya cukup banyak tangan kucing yang bisa dipinjam (dengan berbagai warna pula: tangan si Chotty, Hayden, Foxy, Nervi, Abu dst) mau bilang murah, kok kayaknya gak penting banget. Yahahahaha humph (^_^;.
