Fermi Paradox Blows Local Kitten’s Mind
Skittles was, by all accounts, your average kitten. She liked to play with string, eat premium chow from time to time. But when a friend explained the Fermi paradox to her late Sunday night, something changed.
“She’s been thinking about it ever since,” says Michelle Baker, who outlined the famous theory for Skittles. The Fermi paradox concerns the odds that extra-terrestrial life will ever make contact with Earth. While the universe is unfathomably big (making it unlikely we will ever make contact with intelligent life), it also contains millions of habitable planets (making it likely that aliens exist and have possibly already found us).
Sources close to the situation report that Skittles spent all of Monday morning running numbers and scenarios in her mind. “She’s really having trouble deciding which side of the paradox to come down on. Also, she’s a little freaked out about the idea that aliens are probably already aware of Earth, and we’ll probably meet them in about 1,500 years.”

Bunny Is Way More Productive After Upgrading to Second Monitor
London rabbit Alfie has been a laptop guy his whole life.
“He’s a bunny on the go, he loves the mobility of his MacBook Air,” says Jeff MacIntyre, a longtime business associate of the hare. “But he plugged in a second monitor last night and I think his life has been changed.”
Indeed, Alfie’s productivity has skyrocketed, according to a number of sources close to the situation.
“He can check Twitter and update Facebook at the same time,” says Margaret Miller, who worked with Alfie on a recent consulting project. “He’s obsessed.”
It’s likely he’ll never go back to a single screen. “Adding a second monitor is like emerging from Plato’s Cave,” says MacIntyre, waxing philosophic. “It’s impossible to go back into the darkness of one screen. You’d feel so…limited. so trapped.”
