I Can Has Nobel Prize?

Via Harry Hutton, I have learnt that economist Paul Krugman has used his blog to post a picture of his cat.

There will be those who claim blogs are just “compendiums of banality”* who will use this as a weapon against those of us who chose to maintain a blog.

And then there will be those who will decry the fact that Mr Krugman has neglected to put a caption on the picture of his cat.

Either way, I feel that as a petless blogger I have somehow failed.

Therefore, via Popbitch is a grumpy looking newborn otter pup.

Maybe with this display, the Nobel Prize might one day be mine.

* That was in reference to Twitter, but you get the point.

    It has seemed a little otter for some days now.

    I’m most impressed by the fact that he called his cat Doris Lessing.

    If we’re going on looks, your otter should be known as Kingsley Amis.

      Rog – Imagine it! A blog with loads of pictures of dogs. It’ll never catch on.

      Tim – It’s one of twins. Therefore the other one should be called Phillip Larkin.
