B3ta 19 - 23rd November 2001
"We're saving the web, but not the cats"
-------------------------------------------------

: CATS ARE EVIL

  What is it with the Internet & cats? Why do
  people keep sending B3ta sites about cats?

  It appears that animals go in & out of fashion.
  Back in '95 it was cows - more recently it was
  monkeys - and then came the kittens.

  Enough! No more cats.


-------------------------------------------------
According to superstitious old people, kittens
born in the month of May will bring snakes into
the house.
-------------------------------------------------

: KILL THE SPACE KITTENS
  In this extremely shit "fast-action shooty game"

  "I am sick of cats", says game creator Afroman,
  "and pleased that B3ta is standing up for the
  campaign against cats on the Internet."

  "For I know that cats are evil. And the voices
  tell me to kill them."

  Here's the result of Afroman's voices: a game
  which involves poking space kittens with a
  knife, making them explode.

Gerard Daigle, 80, from Canada lost a pint of
blood after his cat Touti launched an attack.
-------------------------------------------------

: PSYCHO TECHNO HYPNO KITTEN SNAKE
  Play the Nokia snake game with a kitten.

  "I'm really bored of cats", says creator
  Joel Veitch, "and thought that if I created a
  game featuring a really really pretty one -
  I could put people off."

  Play it - it's aversion therapy:

A New Zealand man drowned after falling into
his pet cat's water bowl.
-------------------------------------------------

: THE TOUCHING STORY OF SPEEDY THE KITTEN
  
  Speedy is a black and white kitten who was
  born without a pelvis.

  To enable him to walk - vet Dr. Edwin Jeszenka
  constructed him a cart made from the childrens
  toy.

  Look at him and laugh cruelly:

The Scilly Isles has no cats.

: B3TA IMAGE CHALLENGE

  Each week we run a competition to test your
  creative skills. We find an image, and you
  make our brain explode by mucking it up.

  Last week was Dr. Harold Shipman
http://b3ta.com/challenge/haroldshipman/

  The winner? Matt Leach's "Roger Moore"
http://www.ingenium.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/b3tashit/...

  (BTW: Our site was down for most of this
  week. We've now changed server - and we're
  back. Yay.)

-------------------------------------------------
There is a cat in Canada with 26 toes. It's evil.
-------------------------------------------------

: LINK OF THE WEEK
  Secret Santa.

  Want to swap Christmas presents a random person
  who you've never met? Then you need Secret
  Santa. 

  "The idea of Secret Santa is very simple - you
  pull a name out of a hat and buy that person a
  present," says co-creator Tom. "Your name is in
  the hat as well, so in return you get a present
  from someone else. Easy!"

  "The site uses Amazon wishlists to make everything
  run smoothly and is designed to be a nice way for
  people running personal sites on the net to
  spread the love."

  Go on - at least it doesn't contain cats:

-------------------------------------------------
Seeing a black cat brings bad luck. Spitting
on it reverses this.
-------------------------------------------------

: NEXT WEEK

  The cats strike back ...
