Cat Ignores Human Help; Escapes On Its Own Terms!

Sequence of events left to right

Try as they might, firefighters could not help a black and white cat stranded on a ledge below a sheer drop into a river drain. But not to worry. The cat ignored firefighters' dangling ropes dipped in fragrant pet food. Instead it chose to leap into the icy waters, where the cat paddled to a ladder bracketed to the drain wall and climbed the ladder rungs up 20 feet to safety. Once on solid ground, the black and white cat dodged all efforts by interfering humans to dry him and ran off.

Laziness

You know it’s cold when you can do this:

A 60-ton house moves across a stretch of White Bear Lake from Manitou Island to land in Minnesota on Wednesday.
Terry Semple of Semple Building Movers of St. Paul, didn't take the weather for granted. Last weekend, they pumped water onto the ice to make it thicker. Kraemer calculated that the lake level was 2 feet below normal, and said tests showed that the ice sat on about a foot of water and muck. And Denice Semple, Terry's wife, said the company hired an engineer who advised how to distribute the weight enough to keep the house from crashing through.
Randy Larson of White Bear Lake joked that it was the biggest ice house he ever saw.

This is a clock for those people that paid attention in math class all the way through college.
Each numeral on the clock has been replaced by an equivalent notation. The picture says more than I can.

So you are saying that you didn't pay attention in math class. HaHaHa.

Don't feel bad I only went through algebra
