I think what really makes this adorable video is the audience that is revealed at the end. Also, these seem to be two very posh kitties. In addition to a theremin, they appear to have a penthouse, a hammock and a little throne. Some cats have all the luck. [via Laughing Squid]

Danger Room has footage of the Navy destroying that spy satellite. It blows up real pretty like. [via MetaFilter, where limon says, "Pay close attention, China! Three cheers for the militarization of space!"]

I dreamed last night that I came across a new internet meme involving the television show Jeopardy! Essentially, YouTube was chock full of clumsily edited montages of the show, highlighting bizarre and seemingly instantaneous off-camera costume changes on the part of Alex Trebek. No one had noticed these changes until recently, but now everyone was combing through the Jeopardy! archives and finding these costume changes.

The highest rated clips involved completely over the top changes. For instance, in one clip, we cut from a normally dressed Trebek to a contestant. When we cut back to Trebek, he’s wearing a floor-length, fur, pimp coat with no shirt underneath. His bare chest resembles that of Ricardo Montalban in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

However, the ones that really interested me, and made me wonder what sort of agenda was behind them, were really subtle. In one shot, Trebek would be sporting a blue tie. A few seconds later, his tie would be red.
