Penn and Teller: Fool Us! Returns For Another Season

The new season of Penn and Teller: Fool Us! premieres July 13 on the CW at 8 p.m., 7 Central time. Alyson Hannigan is the new host. Houdini and I will be watching; not so sure about Penn. He's not such a big fan of TV; he prefers watching videos on the laptop. (The late, lamented furry Teller will be with us in feline spirit). 

 

Teller, whose vanishing act was quite amazing, especially right before a visit to the vet.

Here, Kitty, Kitty

Thirteen reasons to adopt a black cat, including their sartorial elegance (well, that accounts for a number of the reasons) and  the fact that, on the other hand, their color puts people off. At adoption time, black cats are often the last felines to find homes. Poor kitties. Black cats have also traditionally been associated with the black arts, with witchcraft, and with evil doings. Snopes.com delves into the question of whether black cats (and other animals) actually disappear with more frequency around Hallowe'en but notes that many animal shelters cut back on allowing feline, especially black cat, adoptions in October.

Yup, Probabilities

Consider deeply before drawing to an inside straight and never,never, never, never play any card game with a feline advantage player. They have twenty toes (more or less) and they are good at math.
