A cat has been summoned to do jury service, even after his owners told the court he was "unable to speak and understand English".
Anna Esposito wrote to Suffolk Superior Crown Court in Boston, US, to explain that a mistake had been made, but a jury commissioner replied saying the cat, named Tabby Sal, "must attend" on March 23.
Mrs Esposito had included a letter from her vet confirming that the cat was "a domestic short-haired neutered feline".
Tabby Sal had been entered by Mrs Esposito under the 'pets' section of the last census. "When they ask him guilty or not guilty? What's he supposed to say - miaow?" she said.
"Sal is a member of the family so I listed him on the last Census form under pets but there has clearly been a mix-up."
A website for the US judicial system states that jurors are "not expected to speak perfect English".
i recently learned that there are hundreds of "model sheets" online. they do not all describe how to draw the characters, but they do provide different expressions and such, which are fun to draw. :)
the full story is on my site http://catheads.net, but the quickie is i hand-drew over 1,000 frames back around 1993 and never compiled them. I started to compile them, and recreate them in CG. So which do you prefer?
A World Opinion Poll singled out FOX NEWS as a proven source of misinformation. Those stupid people just put republicans back in power in America, and will probably vote Sarah Palin as President.
i spent the weekend modeling some Nutcracker designs. i got to UV unwrap one of them and begin painting his skin on, then will do the same for the others. :)
"The effect (tilt-shift) can be simulated in Photoshop, by adjusting a photograph's contrast, colour saturation and depth of focus. It works quite well with regular photographs, so we decided to try it using paintings to see what would happen, and it turns out that the works of Vincent van Gogh in particular make excellent subjects for this kind of treatment."
