Alright, I have nothing insightful to contribute to this discussion, so I'll just relate a vaguely remembered anecdote.

I don't know if you folks remember the debate on "Firing Line" quite a few years back, where the same topic was being contested by two teams with divergent viewpoints, one of them being led by Michael Behe.

Well, there was an exchange between Peter Brimelow-as best I recall-and Barry Lynn.

The only thing about Brimelow's rebuttal that I remember is his statement to the affect that: "the scientific community hasn't yet found a way to create a feline/female hybrid..."

Anyway, that p***y Barry Lynn starts in on how Brimelow is a freak, just because he'd like to see the "Catwoman" fantasy realized; implying that he's some sort of sexual deviant.

Personally, I didn't see the problem with it myself. Don't get me wrong, there are definitely some positions of Brimelow's which I take issue with, but I don't think that he could be criticized for wanting to see genetic engineering get to the point where it would be possible to see some form of Mendelian gene-splicing that could eventually create a real, live, cat/woman hybrid.

Am I totally off base here?

I mean, I know it sounds like a strange concept at first, especially if you're a chick, but just think about it.

I realize that scientists would encounter some difficulties at first. I for one, have some wicked allergic reactions to cats and they would probably need to invent some sort of woman that didn't have the body hair/fur that you'd customarily expect to see on a cat.

However, once they've got all the kinks worked out, I'm sure that whatever female-feline concoction they devised would be awesome.

Am I just being a total weirdo here?

Hit me back.

-good times, G.J.P. (Jr.)

I always thought women were basically cats. It's been a few years since I read Ayn Rand, but I seem to recall her fantasy of perfect sex to be catlike. Personally I always found the Neosporin bill to be a bit high.

Yeah, but... Then she'd look something like this. Ewwww..

Then again, there's that http://www.livenudecats.com/ thing.

More to the point, once they've got all the kinks worked *in*...
