WOW!

My Spidey-sense just went off as I was sitting here at the computer.

My thought flow was slow and meandering looking through pictures on my gallery when,
all in a nanosecond, my heart rate increased and alarms went off in my head that said
TURN AROUND AND LOOK BEHIND YOU RIGHT FUCKING NOW!

I spun around to find one of the kitties (click here for a pick of the almost squashed kitty) with his body tensed up and looking up at a stack of boxes.

Nanosecond #2 - Hmmm, nothing odd here, just a cat staring at a stack of boxes

Nanosecond #3 - Is that top box moving?

Nanosecond #4 - Shit, that box is moving..... It's sliding almost imperceptably off of the stack and will pick up momentum and come crashing down and will land on the cat.

Nanosecond #5 - I shot out of my chair as the box picked up speed.

Nanosecond #6 - The cat still hasn't moved and is just staring up at this heavy box about to come down on top of his head.

Well, I'll end the suspense here and tell you that I caught the box and saved the kitty, confetti and applause rained down and flowers were thrown at my feet.

Actually, I caught the box, spooked the cat and he ran off unappreciative.

But I found out my Spidey-sense still works, and that was pretty cool.
