I just saw the following quote on a website, and I thought you folks,
especially Marina and Christine, might enjoy it:

 "I always thought that Finnish was the sort of language people would

 no television."   -- Damien Warman  

In fact, this is on-topic, because the site in question is called "The
Autographed Cat."

 http://www.autographedcat.com/

The site is not all about cats, although there is a page with some
adorable photos of the guy's two cats, one all-black and one all-white:
