My cat leapt a mile in the air, the other day, when a cucumber dropped out of a shopping bag.
Apparently, he's not the only one![^]
[edit] I forgot to mention that it's a video, so you might want to mute sound before opening it.

Man, that's and old prank played on cats. Just like that other one where they put tape from the head to the tail (just search for "cat + tape" on youtube, you will see).

I'm not a bondage freak, but my missus likes cucumbers.

Don't they all?? < cackle! /> < cackle! /> 
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

I like the one where you duct tape the cat's tail to a ceiling fan, myself...

Maybe they think it's a snake?! 
|
|

Yes it is a well recorded thing. It a natural reflex action they developed to anything snake shaped.

I am so going to have to try that!
I'll report results back soon.

We've got this shared file that we add shopping items to, so I've set up a script that adds "cucumbers" if it's not already on the list.
Whatever you do, don't tell the Dutch equivalent of the RSPCA (NSPCA, leftpond?)

I'll be buggered if it doesn't play the damned thing better than I do!

At the weekend, we collected our new* car. I am now driving a spiffing Chelsea Tractor; to wit a 2005 Land Rover Discovery 3 TDV6 SE. Considering our move to an as yet to be disclosed secret location with a lot of sand and few good roads, it will be very useful.
The heated seats less so**.
* actually older than the old car.
** though I have used them this week.

Heated seats in the African desert...Hmmm

Silly. Not Africa. A builder's yard just off the M1!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Of course. Needs to justify a Chelsea tractor somehow 
|

I'm pretty sure that in the African desert, all seats are heated!

I was expecting to see news of your purchase of a Nimbus 2000[^]! Might you have meant vroom, vroom?
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Hey, didn't Marlon say "Vroom", not "Broom"?

I can think of better things to do with that much money.
* Upgrade development machine to 128GB RAM (Asus ROG 'laptop')
* Get some cool hardware to develop for
IMHO, anyone who puts an IMAX in their home simply has too much money and no (un)common sense.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Your recommendation is somewhat tainted by the fact that the headline stock is dropping like a stone as I watch!

Which makes it a good buy opportunity, IMHO. In the 8+ years I've owned it, it's returned a year-over-year return of more than 13%, making it the best long term performing position in my portfolio. I'm a value investor - I don't buy and sell with the wind. My financial strategy is based on my current goals, diversification and research.
And (if I may be so bold as to make a shameless plug), I use this[^] (free) app to track my investments and plan buys and sells.
