best of craigslist : Carton Of Irregular Cat Hats
Hello. I have a big box of used cat and kitten hats that I have collected over the years for various occasions. As of recently my cat, Snowman, is no longer living and thus I am forced to get rid of these precious memories. I would not feel right asking money for them so I am offering the whole box for free. There are many styles from formal to cute and funny.

Only $70!

» Proposed new tag: IMG
Marc Andreessen in February 1993, suggesting the IMG tag for the first time. Interesting comments from Tim Berners-Lee and others where you can extrapolate the archaic notions they had for the web so long ago…A thing so much more focused on organizing information than our current flashy-splashy-superdesigned web. They saw basically what Engelbart did.
As a bonus, GvR pops in right at the end of the thread.
“ I must correct a false impression… In the case of Dr Strangelove Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, the choice of England was solely dictated by the fact that Peter Sellers’ presence in England was required during the filming in order to appear in court for his divorce. But don’t get me wrong. I love England.
