For years now Flickr<\/a> has been greeting newly logged in users with messages in different languages.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s a really nice touch with helps one learn something new each day, but without getting in the way.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 While I do pay attention to these messages, usually they don’t puzzle me for more than a couple of seconds (as in “how do I read that?”).<\/p>\n

Today, however, was different.\u00c2\u00a0 It was the first time ever that I was greeted in Lolcat<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lolcat, if you don’t know, is a sort of broken, but funny, English language, which usually goes together with an image of a cat.\u00c2\u00a0 The name comes from LOL – an acronym for “laughing out loud”, and cat – an animal on the picture.<\/p>\n

My second reaction to this Lolcat spotting was to write this post.\u00c2\u00a0 My first reaction was “Oh culz!!!”<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
