OK,
I know I'm way late to this party, but I heard about this website on NPR yesterday and had to check it out. For those of you even more out of the loop than me, the premise of this website is pictures of cats (and other animals) with captions that the cats themselves would make. And therein lies the fallacy. Because we all know that cats could never be bothered to actually type a caption, it would be way beneath them. But except for that minor detail, there are some pretty amusing pictures.

Suckouts that don't hurt so much

Ever wonder what poker players dream about besides winning the WSOP main event?

I realize that he could have very easily turned over 74s in that situation, but it just didn't make sense. This guy immediately accepted a rematch and the second match was a little more sane. I definitely felt that I had the edge on him and would have kept playing all night if he were willing. Sadly, he declined. Now I have to figure out how to use these tournament tokens.
