Actually, let&#8217;s just ignore all that dog\/cat year nonsense and just say he&#8217;s 13 &#8211; I&#8217;m sure we all can all picture a 13 year old cat, well a cat anyway, and that&#8217;s old for a cat isn&#8217;t it. \u00a0The point was, he is an old cat called Statham in a top hat. \u00a0I didn&#8217;t mention he was ginger did i? \u00a0Add that to your list. \u00a0He also likes darts, feeling melancholy and admiring Dali artwork. \u00a0This cat (Statham) is no Philestine!<\/p>\n<p>Now take a step back. \u00a0Again, the human brain comprehending a\u00a0culturally\u00a0articulate, clothes wearing,\u00a0emotional\u00a0cat. \u00a0Weird\u00a0isn&#8217;t it. \u00a0The next thing you may notice is the clear act of plagiarism that has taken part. \u00a0Most people know that the cat in the hat was a book or character or something created by Dr. Seuss. \u00a0Now i don&#8217;t know the story of this madman&#8217;s cat, but suspect it was colourful, did lots of things that rhymed and was probably recreated in a film by Jim Carrey&#8230; Actually, i think it was Mike Myers wasn&#8217;t it? \u00a0Either way I don&#8217;t really care. \u00a0Lets go back to my plagiarism. \u00a0Is this plagiarism simply because I lifted a character\/book title from a nonsensical American? No. \u00a0It isn&#8217;t. \u00a0I was sat doing not much, was trying to think of something to blog about, and came up with the title in my head box. \u00a0It is a series of words that were not invented by the doc, but &#8216;evolved&#8217; over many years during the lengthy history of the English syntax. \u00a0These pre-generated words have been arranged in such a way that they make literary sense and these particular &#8216;word chain&#8217; has popped up on at least two seperate occasions, once by me and once by Seuss Phd.\u00a0\u00a0Was he a medical doctor or did he obtain a Phd in something like Rhyming Science Management? \u00a0I don&#8217;t know, and to also add, i don&#8217;t care. \u00a0For some, unknown reason, i have in my head that he was clearly a twat. \u00a0So, in a nutshell, what was this all about? \u00a0Cat&#8217;s don&#8217;t usually wear hats (unless you want to get on You&#8217;ve Been Framed), plagiarism is in the eye of the beholder and I don&#8217;t like Dr Seuss based not on my constructive analysis of him as a person\/author, more on a reactive &#8216;gut feeling&#8217;. \u00a0Social commentary? \u00a0Figure it out for yourselves.<\/p>\n<p>Done. \u00a0Can&#8217;t think of any more I can nonsense on about. \u00a0I&#8217;m going to let the cat out, feed the rabbit and bury four sand people under the shed for future generations to dig up and remember from Star Wars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let&#8217;s begin where it all begins, the start of any beginning, the portal to any story or journey.\u00a0 Lets enter the word fortress from the lexicographic portcullis. \u00a0Now the story\u00a0ends. \u00a0The end of the tale, the reader now evacuated from &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jimandpaul.net\/selfindulgence\/?p=55\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-55","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nonsense"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.jimandpaul.net\/selfindulgence\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.jimandpaul.net\/selfindulgence\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.jimandpaul.net\/selfindulgence\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.jimandpaul.net\/selfindulgence\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.jimandpaul.net\/selfindulgence\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=55"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"http:\/\/www.jimandpaul.net\/selfindulgence\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":72,"href":"http:\/\/www.jimandpaul.net\/selfindulgence\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55\/revisions\/72"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.jimandpaul.net\/selfindulgence\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=55"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.jimandpaul.net\/selfindulgence\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=55"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.jimandpaul.net\/selfindulgence\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=55"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
