That's the way it is here.  Cats.  The aesthetics of how it looks on the wall are no contest compared to the anti-aesthetics of toilet paper all over the floor.

And after many decades using email and usenet, my standards are remarkably similar to Dennis's.

God does not play dice with the universe: He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e. everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex variant of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who _smiles all the time_.
