# Code idea: 'Your Cat Doppelganger'
You type in your name and it gives you a page saying, 'We've trawled the web and here is a cat called Rob. [picture of cat] Why not [link]read more about him[/link].

It works by sending a query to google images, 'cat rob' and parsing the results.

Any takers?

# speaking of cats

# Nasty site. Never liked it.
Mean to cats. Real cats. Bastards.

# I think, for me,
it's the way you can see from some of the scans that people are holding the cats down as hard as they can 'cause the poor feckers really don't want to be there. I don't like it.

# it's looking good
but I wanted the script to parse the result from google and put the image in a page. It is possible. I wrote a script that did it before - but lost it when we changed server.
