Dynamics of Cats

Speculations on astronomy, astrophysics, news I find interesting, theoretical issues, science and science policy. I will digress into computational physics, science fiction and general issues and basically whatever I feel like whenever. And, of course, cats.

Haven't you heard about the upcoming Summer 2009 blockbuster, Saw V: Parameter Space?
