Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

Tiggy, also pretty. And more practical, really. This can be dressed up or down with hair and jewelry and whatnot.

Pretty dress, tiggy! Seems like it would be very flattering.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm sorry, Aims. That sucks.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Come back, Nutty! Who else will nobly do battle with cheetahs on squash courts on your birthday?!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This is depressing: 10 American Industries That Will Never Recover: 24/7 Wall Street (PHOTOS)

It has become clear that jobs in some industries may never come back or if they do it will take years or decades for a recovery....

Some of the industries are obvious. Detroit will never employ the number of people it did five years ago. Domestic car sales hit 16 million in 2005 and 2006. That number will be closer to 11.5 million in 2010. More cars and light vehicles are made overseas now, in places like Mexico, to keep labor costs down.

Home construction is another industry that will almost certainly not recover. Home inventories are still extremely high and home prices have fallen to the levels where they were in 2004. Prices in some markets, which include Las Vegas, Florida and parts of California have dropped 60% to 70%. New construction in those markets will not begin again in the foreseeable future.

Here is the list of the ten jobs categories that will not recover based on 24/7 Wall St. research....

Hippo birdies, Nutty and Spidra.

As for the Universe - what everyone (especially Jesse) said, in spades. Not cool, Universe. Not cool.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

related - I think anyone working with youth would do well to share info like this with them. Eldercare, green energy, recycling technologies - those seem like growing industries.
