| [ARA] Subsequent to the case of the three British schoolgirls who sought to join the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group (IS/ISIS) and apparently successfully did so, raising concerns of the public opinion in England, the British police said on Sunday they were questioning three other British teenagers who planned to join the radical group in Syria.

| #7 Had a classic medium-haired tuxedo cat that wondered off to the dark side for a month. One Subday afternoon I watched a horrific looking cat stagger down the road towards me, my youngest asked with a hint of awe in his voice, "Sir is that a cat?" My only response could be,"You're damn straight that's a cat" and suddenly all I could hear was Bill Conti. Took her to the vet for liquids and de-fleeing. BT the time she was back home (and back in charge) she was a classic tortoiseshell for a few years. |

| #6 Thanks for the decryption, TW. I had no idea what Tortoise shell toms meant. Kinda sad, really, that it's come to this. Where are the soccer hooligans when you need them? |

| #5 I thought I remembered that tortoiseshell cats are exclusively female, so I checked. According to Wikipedia, I am wrong. To whit: Very rarely (approximately 1 in 3,000[9]) a male tortoiseshell or calico is born. These animals typically have an extra X chromosome (XXY), a condition known in humans as Klinefelter syndrome, and undergo an inactivation process like that in females. As in humans, these cats often are sterile because of the imbalance in sex chromosomes. Some male calico or tortoiseshell cats may be chimeras, which result from the fusion in early development of two embryos with different color genotypes. Others are mosaics, in which the XXY condition arises after conception and the cat is a mixture of cells with different numbers of X chromosomes. Once again I've learnt something useful from one of Zenobia F's deceptively clever little limericks -- it seems he's to poetry what JosephMendiola is to prose. |
