It's becoming popular as an apartment pet, according to the New York Times. In the whole article, though, there's no mention anywhere about the number of these animals in New York, America, the world, etc. make me wonder (Thanks J.D.!)
The Savannah pussy, an offspring of a wildcat - the African serval - and the domestic house cat
TIME Magazine tells us that it's "flight, flight or freeze," and that our own instincts might in fact get us killed
I really wonder how I'd react. Pretty well, I think -- not 'cause I have better instincts, but just because I've had a damn lot of training and experience in dangerous situations. Like polar bear attacks and earthquakes.

Wendy's (U.S.) is giving away free Frostys this weekend
I bet "QSR Online" will be seeing a rather huge traffic spike for this story. BTW, sorry, Canadians...
The L.A. Times says traffic in L.A. in 2003 was better than 2002, 2001 or 2000
From my perspective it got clearly worse from 2000 to 2004, with 2001 being slightly better, to the point where the daily drive was a crushing burden to some of my commuting friends.

From the articles: "Dick Dasen was a successful entrepreneur and investor, an observant Christian, and a generous supporter of local charities. The story of his secret life seemed too extreme to be true."
