Overnight Thread-Squid Edition [CDR M]Yes I know it's Caturday but I decided to change things up. You will still see cat related items, but not your typical cat-cat stuff. Batting leadoff tonight, is the US Navy's F-14 Tomcat. A fine fighter in its heyday. Click play and enjoy. Now, Felix the Cat has had a storied history of being associated with the military. In the late 1920s, the U.S. Navy's Bombing Squadron Two (VB-2B) adopted a unit insignia consisting of Felix happily carrying a bomb with a burning fuse. They retained the insignia through the 1930s when they became a fighter squadron under the designations VF-6B and, later, VF-3. After World War II, a U.S. Navy fighter squadron VFA-31 replaced its winged meat-cleaver logo with Felix the Cat. VFA-31, nicknamed the "Tomcatters," continues to use Felix the Cat today. ![]()
This Is Is Cat This Is How Cat This Is To Cat This Is Keep Cat This Is A Cat This Is Dumbass Cat This Is Busy Cat This Is For Cat This Is Forty Cat This Is Seconds Cat Now go back and read the THIRD word in each line from the top. Sorry about that. Couldn't resist but hey, it was cat related no?
![]() Rum will like this. Disney Goes To War. It's a nice article on the history of how Disney got involved with military units to help design logos for ships, aircraft and whatever else needed some artwork. In one of my previous jobs, I had the privledge to fly the Catbird, a VP-3A that was an executive P-3 modified for VIP's out of Sigonella, IT and it still flies with an original Disney logo on its nose. Here is Catbird's history. In 1999, a particular interest was generated about the historic value of CATBIRD. The name and pictures were researched and with the help of a local Italian aviation enthusiast and the Walt Disney archives, the CATBIRD design was found. The Catbird name and original design from Walt Disney was presented to ADM James O. Ellis with a request to reapply the art back onto the aircraft for the 40th year anniversary of the "CATBIRD Unit." Not only did he agree to the reapplication but also sent 2 brand new one dollar bills as a renewal payment to the Chairman of Walt Disney and thanking him for an "act of kindness" which created the logo 40 years earlier. The CATBIRD insignia and callsign has renewed a special interest in and around the European theater and along the Eastern Coast of the United States. The reintroduction of the art on the aircraft not only preserves the history of the unit but also serves as a preservation of Naval Tradition. When someone mentions "CATBIRD" everyone knows who you are talking about. ![]()

![]() I thought this article was timely. Going Bananas Over Radiation. After the Three Mile Island nuclear accident, the NRC detected radioactive iodine in local milk at levels of 20 picocuries/liter,[6] a dose much less than one would receive from ingesting a single banana. Thus a 12 fl oz glass of the slightly radioactive milk would have about 1/75th BED (banana equivalent dose).
An orgasm provides one of the biggest natural blasts of dopamine available to us. When Gert Holstege at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands, and colleagues scanned the brains of ejaculating men, he said the resulting images resembled scans of heroin rushes.
