LOLcat Fridays

(Presenting a weekly feature where we display an LOLcat picture and overanalyze the caption, in relation to the photo.)
This piece is definitely a commentary on the human (or feline) condition, showing what happens when you come to the conclusion that your physique no longer meets the standards of body-type set by society. This cat is laying on the floor, dejected, while the pile of detruitus holds him down, like Jacob Marley’s chains, created by his own lack of willpower and overeating tendencies.
One can see the faraway look in this cat’s eyes, as he contemplates the diet in store for him — a change in cat food, or more likely, a reduction of quantity. As it is, he never feels full, and eats and eats to compensate. He loathes the idea of a diet, but realizes that for his own health and safety, he must take drastic measures.

Now see, I would just take from it that the cat is representative of the abysmal scientific literacy in this country, in that she or he falls prey to the fallacy that only big, heavy objects have grabity fields. Not so! Every bit of matter attracts every other bit of matter grabitationally, wif a forse pruporshunal to teh produkt of der massus and inversly pruporshunal to teh distans tween dem skwaerd. It’s just that the constant of proportionality is so tiny that only with huge masses (e.g., that of a planet) or at very close distances is the effect noticeable. Grabity is a very, very weak force.
