As if cats don't already think they're better than us enough, someone gave this smug bastard a suit and top hat. From 1906 if the text is to be believed.
Culture Buzz This is kind of a NYC-only post (sorry, deal), but apparently, there is a meme musical at this year's Fringe Festival. It is called I Can Has Cheezburger: The MusicLOL, and it will surely be better than the Jem and the Holograms show I saw at Fringe last year. Maybe they will even set cats loose in the audience.
The Kate Gosselin Hair meme gets the cat treatment. Which is how you know it's really a meme. Get your own Kate Gosselin Hair here.
The Whoafish has 3D vision and just can't believe his little blowfish eyes. What does he see!? Whoa.
My new favorite lolcat. Now I just have to figure out how to photoshop a storm trooper riding the cat.
Sometimes you just need a short sweet cat video to start out your day. I wasn't sure if this was a real cat or a robocat.
In an adorable ditty sung in a stairwell, crooner Jonathan Mann explains the three rules of the Internet. This is song #10 in his goal to write a song for every day in January. So, LOLcats and hot chicks? Don't take it personal.
Cats of Japan: Now's a good time to renounce your Japanese citizenship and run as far away as your little kitty legs will take you. That is, unless, you enjoy getting dressed up in ridiculous kitty costumes and laughed at on international TV. Then, stick around. They'll find you.
Paul Krugman is a little busy accepting his Nobel Prize, so he posted this LOLcat to his blog instead. To quote NYT commenter Aaron K: “More like the NobLOL Prize.” Try the veal!
Culture Buzz LOLhipsters are the latest and greatest take on the lol(whatever) meme. But could the appearance of LOLhipsters mark the end of the endearing lolcat meme? It happened to bacon…it could happen to anything.

This captioned LOLcat photo was found in a Seattle antique store, and the photograph is dated 1905. I Can Haz Cheeseburger notes a few grammatical differences, but it is close enough: our internet meme calendar is now over 100 years old.
Putin confirms that Russia can see Alaska, too. And he hates Governor Palin’s design taste.
Tech Buzz The man who started the internet meme-machine and creator of LOLcat, 4chan, at age 15 was profiled in the Wall Street Journal. He's a mystery wrapped in an enigma. In researching him, I feel like I've delved into the seedy internet underground of teenage boydom.
