Finally got around to trimming the tree. Lights, tinsel, and lots of little yellow and red cards. It's quite festive.- In the early hours of Wednesday morning, a fire at an animal shelter in Toronto claimed the lives of nearly 100 cats. Fire inspectors now suspect they know how it started: mice.
To quote BBC News: "An initial report from the fire marshal says mice or rats chewing through electrical wires in the ceiling are likely to have sparked the blaze." Be careful, mice. Teasing cats is ones thing, but stuff like this could land you in front of the Animal U.N. Security Council. Mice cautioned per Section B-7 for nibbling on wires--is electricity really all that delicious?

Too hot for Facebook?
- Facebook is reportedly removing from its site images of mothers breastfeeding their own children. Because nursing babies are way more offensive than pictures of that girl from the office who posted all those shots of herself at the beach this summer. Not that you looked at them...
One Facebook group has organized a response: Hey, Facebook, Breastfeeding Is Not Obscene. Another, M.I.L.C. (Mothers International Lactation Campaign), has scheduled a 'virtual nurse-in' for December 27 open to all Facebook users: "M.I.L.C. is asking all of you to change your profile picture for one day, to one which includes an image of a nursing mom... and we ask that you include the status line of 'Hey Facebook, breastfeeding is not obscene!'" Facebook cautioned per Section B-6 for being total prudes.
