Of course, anything related to cats is fascinating to me.

Some of the nastiness diseases have some of the loveliest names.

Like:salmonella, rubella, and melanoma.

In contrast "aspergers" has a clunky Germanic name.

I wish aspergers had been discovered by a doctor with a name like "Arnold Anastasio", or "Sam Gianconna".
