Pet intelligence wank
The Guardian: Cats outsmarted in psychologist's test.

You can imagine how well this goes with the readers. Besides the predictable flood of pet owner butthurt and anecdotes of clever / stupid cats / dogs / mice / owls, there are plenty of genuinely funny comments as well as a side wank on the validity of test methods and statistics, obligatory calls to talk about world hunger instead or discuss the intelligence of various nationalities, and, naturally, Hitler and his pets make a bonus appearance. I think one could play classical wank bingo in here, but some of the stories make it all worthwhile.

	Oh, she's special enough to get her claws in that and my iphone charger wire. I had to replace it from chewing. At least twice. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	House mate's cat went right through her laptop charger seemingly without harm, while it was plugged in. He also has several S-video cables and pairs of shoes under his belt. It's amazing he's not crispy cat yet. Fortunately, I also own a cat, and as my room is 'hers' the other two don't really come in except when they think they can poop in her box without her knowing.
