a fun cat experiment

Not serious, of course, but haven't you always wanted to know how long your cat's tongue is?

Okay, maybe not. But John and Michael Abbott did, and set up the apparatus required to discover the Determination of cat tongue length using the "White Wine" method. (Apparently much easier than the "Beefy Bovril" and "Creamy Yoghurt" method, but looking at the photos I can see why.)

This sounds like something out of Annals of Improbable Research.

Not that theres anything wrong with that!

Ooh, I should have known you'd know about the Annals. And you should be so grateful I didn't post the story about the cat with 2 tongues! Ew.
