you'll like this story. yesterday on the way to brighton pier, boving pointed out a shop that had "the best tshirt in the world" - it was a terry thomas t-shirt! of course i then pointed it out to fnord and so we went inside to investigate. they only had one left - but it was his size! so he bought it, then we located the others using zen navigation, a vague sense for where the sea was and, finally, mobile phones.

# Well, if everybody's showing off
their language skills:
In german, it's Katze for cat, Kätzchen for kitten and Miezekatze for kittycat. You can say Muschi for Pussy, and it has both meanings.
