In Ontario last week, I was thrilled to discover dandelion ice cream, which tastes just like coffee ice cream. Where I'll find dandelion ice cream here, I don't know.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Lego brick, one of the most instantly recognised toys in the world, cannot be trademarked, European judges have ruled.
The Danish toymaker's basic red plastic brick was the building block for a global toy-industry success. The brick's shape was registered as an EU trademark in 1999.
But the rival Canadian maker Mega Brands successfully appealed to the EU's trademark office to cancel Lego's trademark. The experts decreed that a brick was a technical shape which could not be trademarked.
Lego, claimed the company's lawyers, contains characteristics that set it apart. But the judges ruled that keeping the Lego trademark on the brick design created a monopoly on what amounted to a functional shape.
So I guess this means any company can make little plastic bricks that work with Lego bricks... in Europe, at least.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So, my kitty survived the second attempt to remove her broken canine tooth, which was successful. (The previous attempt (eta: about a month ago) resulted in respiratory arrest from the anesthesia.)
She'll need pain meds for several days, but she's doing fine.

Speaking of dental surgery (but for humans), this Hyperbole and a Half had me LOLing:
Neatorama sez:
You know this is going to be funny. Allie Brosch tells about the time she had oral surgery the same day as a friend’s birthday party. Part of the account reminds me of the viral video David After Dentist, except of course things get much worse.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I guess it's not technically any weirder than calling it a canine tooth on a person, but... cats and dogs! Living together!
