My cat does the exact same thing with this large white stuffed dog, and only with that dog. It's like he thinks it's his mommy.

Good call, Angstrom.
I've grown so accustomed to poor grammar on the internet that the article title didn't alarm me.
As for the extraeneous vowels, it's my opinion that many internet folks enjoy bringing attention to these words in an effort to appear clever, suave, refined, fancy, etc. For example:
Bob: Why look, here's a story about dog faeces.
Sue: Wow, us bumpkins in the states spell it in the crude, proletarian manner, without the 'a'.
Bob: Well, that's because you're dumb and have bastardized our language. I only read articles where the proper form is used.
Sue: Gee Bob, you sure are smart, and better than us lowly Americans.
Bob: Your observation is accurate, Sue.

Am I the only one categorically unimpressed by extraeneous voewels? Come on, paedo? Enough already.

That reminds me... that Manson girl, Susan Atkins, she was up for parole recently.
Not sure though if it was granted or denied.

Hey #12 and #24, the name is Keith, not Kevin.
Come on.

Duh. Doesn't the pig notice she's only got boots on her front feet?
Silly pigs. I thought they were real smart.

You know, I logged in just to post the same thing. Yes, it does resemble lady parts.

Oh, as for the Dr. recommendation, I did ask a doctor many years ago, and he said it was just some "tissue". This may come as a complete shock to everyone here, but doctors aren't always entirely cluefull. Plus, I don't want to blow the $$$ on an office visit just for this; esp. when expert advice is available for free on the internet!

Hey, thanks for the input everyone!
I had doubts that this would even be posted.
But anyway, I beleive these are the "plica fimbriata" or fimbriatae? as mentioned by a few readers above.
Thanks. I had checked with a number of online folks and couldn't find any clue about them.
That Steampunk joke was funny! But I think Cory Doctorow is the only person who cares about that stuff.

I'm guessing the mighty funeral-home lobby will nip this in the bud.
Rolling Stone -- every issue from 1967 to 2007 on DVD

I know nothing about Macs.
But I bet on a Windows machine it looks at an environment variable, say SYSTEMDRIVE, and obtains the drive letter from that. Or maybe it gets it out of the registry. Maybe you should send me a copy of this so I can investigate :)

You should do a count on specific names, see who shows up the most.
I'm betting it would be Bob Dylan, because they're bonkers over him.

Better idea: Mandatory black eye makeup surrounding women's eyes, like a raccoon mask, so no skin would show.
