Early last week I first saw a link to this vid. It was originally posted to Facebook by a fellow musician. The story goes that she was rifling through Russian music and came across it. It quickly spread across my own Facebook friends' network and their associated networks.

With my weak Google-fu, I wasn't able to trace any links to it previous to that post. I wonder if I actually know the originator of an internet meme?

I seem to recall at one point reading of how facial structure changes as we age. With men (perhaps with women, too), one thing that happens is the nose gets longer. With this as my only recollection of that long-lost article, I was pretty amazed to see this fellow's nose start trending Pinocchio over just eight years! Pause at the outset and again at the end...

Cats need to be taught to hunt. Any cat will chase things that are moving fast, but unless their mum tells them what things to kill and eat, and how to do it, they'll often stare stupidly instead of attacking.

There are exceptions to every rule, though, and I wouldn't encourage anyone to let Fluffy play with your pet gerbil. Unless you don't like the gerbil.
