From a German proverb, then?

No idea, sorry. Though Hegel does refer to it as "proverbial" he does not say where he got it.

I keep waiting for him to finish himself off, but the bastard seems as durable as your average cockroach.

No, cockroaches have healthier complexions.

I take a wild guess and say that this proverb probably predates Egyptian civilization.

Nah, pop-star martyrdom is too good for him. I'd rather see him as an aging, pathetic ASBO king.

Saw a picture of him not long ago and he looks like he could use a wire brush if he ever gets near soap and water. The idea that he would live past 30 simply does not compute. As for the pop-star martyr bit, well, first you've got to have some talent and a following. I'm not seeing it.

I took Chairman Meow to the vet to be spayed and it turns out that she is actually a he, a male that was neutered very early on. Anyway, he's pretty much the friendliest cat of all time.

The vet also suggested that I name the next one Genghis Cat.

Not Chiang Cat-Shek? Or the Pawchen Lama?

My gf adopted a cat recently, a turkish angorra and put it in my place.

Its bloody evil. There's no way in hell he's going to heaven.

His name is Mufasa

You know I noticed that all those Persian/Angorra furry cats (well those two that I knew) had mental problems. I hate those cats.
Cat should be lean mean bird-catching machine with as short hair as possible.

Did you finally adopt Chairman Meow? Look at the way he's looking at you, I think you've been adopted already

Yes, I have adopted him. I even got a name tag for him. On the front it has his name and my phone number and on the reverse, it says "Religion is the catnip of the masses."

Chairman Meow is adorable. Are you going to set up a Catster page for him? Don't let him wander into Chinatown with a nametag like that...
