You had a cat around??? We had to genetically create a cat, and then we had to
invent the whole process of genetically create anything as well, and we had to
steal the water, soap and other various chemicals even to get started. Then we
had to feed the cats with the non-existent leftovers from the crumbles we had
for a meal every second week. You only got me started...

Cheers,
Magnus - why is it that this allways turn into a Monty Phyton schetch?
