Cats of War: The Pentagon’s top-secret feline special-operations program, revealed.

The American commando team that killed Osama Bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan, reportedly included a dog, sparking furious speculation about the dog’s identity and discussion of the role of canines in war. Less publicized—and far more essential to top-secret U.S. military operations—are cats.

The U.S. military has long used cats in special operations under the top-secret Covert Anti-Terrorism Stealth (CATS) program. Smarter and stealthier than dogs, cats are also more agile…

Honestly, with my boy Justin Timberlake in the movie, I would have watched it even if it was just him making Facebook status updates for two hours.

But, I have to admit,  the new “Facebook Movie” looks like it has actual potential.   I guess one shouldn’t expect less from a David Fincher movie though (one scored by Trent Reznor, no less).  hat tip: Digital Inspiration

(I love that the name is not actually “The Facebook Movie” but that’s what everyone calls it!)

More of a retro, Myspace fan?  You’re in luck! For you Tom fans -- er, friends -- out there, there’s a movie for you as well!  OK, not really, but the Huffington Post shared a “trailer” from Best Week Ever here.

What do you think? Will this be a movie you’ll be checking out?

This is why I love Allie Brosh.

And why you should subscribe to Hyperbole and a Half.

Right now.

(Go ahead, I’ll wait.)

I wanted to tell Allie I no longer have blonde hair and do not have a pink dress, and to please stop reading my diary.

Then I wondered how someone who lives in Montana and doesn’t know me was able to get access to my diary.

Then I realized I don’t keep a diary.

Huh.

(Just to make sure we’re on the same page: I think this is funny and you should read it: Hyperbole and a Half: This is Why I’ll Never be an Adult.)
