Conman the 1337 with Shaun the Sheep

Thanks to my swearing cat’s fateful stumble this evening, I am now stuck pondering a question that could shake one of the most important industries of our time to its very foundations: what percentage of Google ad clicks are caused by bumbling felines?

I never click on ads, and neither does Carolyn, so I believe this makes the click-through rate for my household 100% cat induced. Someone, somewhere paid for my grumpy cat to sit on this keyboard. Someone, somewhere just received a share of payment that they did not truly deserve (as I do not believe that Arwen bears any true interest in a degree from the University of Phoenix).

Does Google take this number into account? Is this something they have researched? Or have I perhaps stumbled on the cats’ sinister plans to bring about the downfall of our corrupt and heathen (non cat-worshipping) society?

Today is Mario Kart Day! (Yay!)

But none of the stores here have it! (Wha?)

Because the delivery truck is stuck somewhere in South Australia! (OMG!)

So there will be no long-weekend Mario Kart party! (*sigh*)

Just Super Mario Galaxy and Guitar Hero. (Yay!)

PS: Contrary to my concern, I did not overflow. (but there appear to be minor side-effects)
