Man, Hitchens Ghost must be busy.

I got my first kitty when I was in third grade. I went to the pet store and my mom asked me to pick one. I couldn't find one that I made a connection with, so I didn't get a kitty that day. A couple trips later and found this one little tabby, meowing really loudly and trying desperately to jump down from her second level cage to get to me. I felt an immediate bond, and the little tabby became my new friend, Natasha. Since she lived a couple years as an only cat, she seemed to believe she was human. She was not afraid of anyone or anything. She even had the power to intimidate huge dogs that walked by our house just by staring them down. And she liked to talk. When ever she would see a new person, she would say hello. Say hello back and she'd meow again. Sometimes you could go back and forth with her a dozen times. Her voice was very loud, and she would use it to get herself fed at ungodly parts of the morning. She also had this thing where she would jump on your bed and kneed your chest and purr for a long time. She had a lot of love in her heart.

She lived 17 years. She eventually got skinnier and weaker and the vet said there was nothing to be done. I remember I knew which night she was going to pass. I was supposed to rehearse with a band I was playing with, but I called them and told them I wouldn't be there. I fell asleep next to her on the couch and woke up just before she passed. She started breathing heavier, and I knew it was time. I gently put my hands on her, comforting her last minute, and then she passed.

Losing a good friend is so hard. My heart is with you, Sheppard.

so sorry to hear of your loss. my cat kinda went the same way. be strong.

Holy fuck.

My cat has been sick for weeks, and getting progressively worse. Today she was so weak that she couldn't even move, so we placed her on our softest pillow and had to physically turn her when she wanted to move.

So, at 12:30 a.m. I was watching futurama and keeping her company (sitting on the couch next to her.)

The last I had looked at her, Bender was jumping into the lava to save Seyamore, and she was breathing.

I looked down as soon as seyamore put his head down and she was not.

I have completely lost it.

*Doublepromote this video in her honour.

I am so sorry for your loss.

YOU SIR HAVE TASTE.

wow, I have a table setup for my PC.

Facing one way is my monitor, facing the other is a T.v. (facing a couch).

Right now, I could be on the other side of this table playing Skyrim.

This was actually awesome enough to keep my attention away from the other side.

Wellllllp,

The airplane is a p-51 Mustang from the WW2 era, apparently equipped with multiple modern recording devices. While mid-flight a piece from the tail end of the aircraft (edit: the piece is the elevator trim tab) broke off, affecting the planes ability to maneuver effectively, causing catastrophic failure and the pilot lost all control on a turn. The plane then pitched up and took a sharp turn downwards as it nose dives into a luxury box-seat area killing dozens and wounding 70 or so.

While the tragedy in this story is obvious, the physics are not. Notice the lack of explosion upon impact or shortly there after. Usually there is a massive fireball that proceeds a crash like this and it has baffled scientists and engineers alike.

In reply to this comment by Shepppard:
I would REALLY like some backstory on this.

What was going on? Was it a race, or an air show? what the hell was the pilot doing in the first place, the angle of that descent means he either did the most boneheaded loop ever, or something went catastrophically wrong.

I'm not even happy having watched this. It's not exactly snuff, because we don't explicitly see anybody die (I mean, obviously the pilot, but we only see an after explosion) but even still, I'm uncomfortable watching it. However, just because I'm uncomfortable watching it, doesn't automatically make it snuff.

ehh.. one way or the other, I see controversy brewing with this video.

I did it for the downvotes.
