>>>Yeah, I'm definately not a cat person. Wait - I have three cats now. Hmmm... How did that happen? I know that I'm not a cat person, because I've always said it, and have always owned dogs. I "inherited" 3 kittens about 2 years ago, and know now that I am cat person. They have much more personality than I ever thought cats could have. They run to greet us in the morning and evenings. They love to be petted. They're really just like dogs, except they're smarter and I don't have to walk them... <g>

>>Just don't try to sell them as poodles. ;) I'm a cat person myself. I have 4. I didn't intend it that way, I wanted just 1, but somewhere along the way...
>>
>>You know, I realise the story said that the Japanese haven't really seen many poodles, but honestly, did they really think a poodle is a type of dog that has hooves?

>Yeah, the whole hoof thing should have tipped them off. Americans may be crass, but you really can't call us naive.

No, not like the guy who bought London Bridge:

and thought he was getting Tower Bridge:

> still find it funny that there was an entire town in Romania who ran away (literally) because they thought the lights from a carnival in another town were invading aliens. That's what happens when you have a potato box for a TV...

Totally unlike the thousands of Americans who panicked at Awful Wells's "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast.
