Munchkin. Yes, munchkin.net is a site about cats. Specifically, about a particular breed of cat, the Munchkin, which has unusually short legs. From the website:

"The Munchkin is a naturally occurring domestic cat breed characterized by unusually short legs. A spontaneous change in the genetic heritage of the cat has introduced a gene which is similar to that seen in the Bassett Hound, Corgi, and Dachshund, which the Munchkin closely resembles in body style. The Munchkin is a product of nature rather than a man-made breed. Because of the autosomal dominant inheritance pattern, a cat with the Munchkin gene will produce kittens with the same short legs."

Wonder if Steve Jackson knows about this?

Wouldn't take much to tell him; in fact, if you want, I probably could, I think I have his email address lying around somewhere...;-)

Oh, I'm sure [livejournal.com profile] esrblog has his e-mail address someplace, and if not I may still have his phone number in my phone. Trouble is, I'm not sure what he'll think....

My guess is that he'd be mildly amused, but then I haven't been in touch with him in a while.

Now if only they would post pictures of cats with funny captions (http://icanhascheezburger.com).

But why, when icanhascheezburger.com is doing it already?

Whenever cats are discussed in various fora, lolcats such as those in the link invariably show up. They seem to be the heir to "All Your Base Are Belong To Us."

Yeah, so what? I'm not getting your point.

I was joking that since they had pictures of cats, they needed to caption them. That joke's still in beta. :-)

Some cats need no captions. Especially mine. :-)

My response to http://ideas.4brad.com/icann-has-cheezburger is that I need to take up a collection to buy them all coupons, but to which restaurant? Fuddrucker's? Red Robin?

The cheapest one nearby, of course. There's an awful lot of them. :-)
