Nuclear Crisis Stopped Time In Japan

"Nuclear Crisis Stopped" is not a good way to lead off a story on Japan.
My short attention span plays horrible games with me.
Sadly yes. The site does tend to more fluff, slashvertising, idle shit and biased politics articles than anything really interesting. I'm betting that by 2012 we'll have videos of cats on here.

O hai thar! Welcome to Catdot.org!
It's sharks all the way up.
Confucius say, "Find worm in apple - bad. Find half a worm - worse."

Yes! We have to ban every episode showing schools. Many Japanese children don't even have a school anymore!
I thought we should have no fear for atomic energy, mon, cause they could not stop de time!
Qu'on me donne six lignes écrites de la main du plus honnête homme, j'y trouverai de quoi le faire pendre.
I'm betting that by 2012 we'll have videos of cats on here.
Or photos of CAT 5s, at least.
