Every now and then I have some fun and LOL-cat-ize an image from a PLoS ONE paper. See, for instance, LOLdinosaur, LOLtortoise, LOLtasmaniantiger and LOLpterosaur. Folks at the mothership love these. So, if a number of you are up to this I'll make a Flickr set or Facebook group, or a linkfest. Pick your favourite PLoS papers, grab images, LOLcatize them (here) and send them to me, or give me the links. Ideally, if you post these on your blogs, provide also a link to the paper itself or at least let me know which paper they came from.
This is not what I have in mind, but it is a LOL and a PLoS and a cat....

Everyone can use it in any way they want. If there are 100 million blogs out there, there are 100 million blogging styles and 100 million ideas what blogging "is". And anyone who dares tell others how to do it incurs the wrath of the other…
I think I have a profile on Friendster - I don't know, I haven't checked since 2003. I have bare-bones profiles on MySpace, LinkedIn and Change.Org and I will get an e-mail if you "friend" me (and will friend you back), but I do not have time to spend on there. I refuse to even look at all the…
Bora - here is a post I wrote last year on eye evolution, using an LOL Cnidarian. It is based on a study published by Todd Oakley in PLoS.
My own humble contribution is here
Thanks. I tested it first on Facebook. Once there are more images, I will make a proper Flickr set.
Hey Coturnix - when you do, be sure to add them to LOLscience, OK? kthxbai.
