They're serving Soylent Green in cat food now? Hmmm, I thought it was only served as airplane food.

Yep, I know, Gar. I was being a wise guy.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS A FUNNY ONE, MEDUSA.
GIVEN THE STORIES I HEAR ABOUT AIRLINE FOOD THESE DAYS.
I HAVE ONLY BEEN ON A PLANE ONCE, ABOUT 40 YEARS AGO, AND I LIKED THOSE TRAYS OF FOOD!!
BUT THINGS I GUESS HAVE CHANGED!!!

What's soylent green? some type of soy product??

For those of you who missed this one, Soylent Green was a 1973 movie by MGM (I grew up down the street from MGM). It starred Charlton Heston, Leigh Taylor-Young, Chuck Connors, Joseph Cotten and Edward G. Robinson. It was an interesting and entertaining movie.

The story line is "In an overpopulated futuristic Earth, a New York police detective finds himself marked for murder by government agents when he gets too close to a bizarre state secret involving the origins of a revolutionary and needed new foodstuff called soylent green."

The dark secret is exactly what soylent green is made of.

An interesting theory, Richard, but I feel that cats are happy with the status quo, ie having us as slaves. I don't feel they feel the need to cull us.

Have you tasted those Temptations to find out whether the green ones really do taste better than the others?
