It's Raining Cats, Hallelujah!

Raining-Cats

Put aside the law journals and economic histories of countries you never knew existed. Your trip to Penn’s archives just got a little more fun. A Penn librarian recently discovered manuscripts dating back to 16th century Europe that depict “rocket cats.” (Not to be confused with laser cats.)

Basically, some twisted war heroes made a manual on how to turn cats and doves into explosives. Just follow these three easy steps : 1) capture a cat that has left its home, 2) attach a rocket to it, 3) let it return back home to explode, and BOOM! You’ve effectively created PETA’s worst nightmare and Michael Vick’s wettest dream.  Silly Europeans thought they could hide this secret tactic. Sorry, but the (exploding) cat is outta the bag.
