Poor cat. On it's ninth life, taking it easy on a little girl's bed in New Jersey, no worries, no danger and then POW!

Poor kitty. :(

so thats why your not suppose to have the cat on the bed ;)

I was rather worried by this though:
she heard a loud noise around 2:40 p.m. and found the 6-by-4-inch object.

sounds more like her father was away on business

*Insert-stupidcommentabout"pussyseekingpenatrators"-here*

A shame they didn't throw it off a cliff.

KHAAAAAAAANNN!

We are not amused. :mad:
Now if you were talking puppies...

Um, does anyone else find it a bit scary that the military misfired enough with a piece of artillery to reach a residential area?

I mean, if they were aiming for the cat, that's a different story, but really...

It needed to be said. If I didn't someone else would have.

It makes me wonder:

Would LG give a damn if a person was killed?

Or would he simply shurg it off and keep crying about mr kitty?:D

Despite your subtlety, I'm beginning to notice a strange fixation with LG in your posts.

Did he claim to be your Uncle and do things with a garden hose that haunt you to this very day?

What the fuck?! Misfired artillery? The person who was aiming that artillery piece ought to be seriously reprimanded, and the repair cost taken out their pay. That sort of mistake is simply not acceptable.

With that said, that should be the limit of their punishment. After all, they are only human.

Someone could make a tasteless political statement with that. I could but I won't.

They really need to purrfect their shooting.

wtf.

why where they testing arty within range of an area where people lived? isn't that the point of firing ranges?

They really need to purrfect their shooting.

:D

normally secrecy would be the best option but this has really let the cat out of the bag

It was obviously a feline-seeking artillery shell designed by a dog owner.

Holy freakin' Moses! Not only that, but they don't know what type of ordnance was fired! Good Lord, what if it had been a live, explosive round? Or an incendiary or something worse (depleted uranium)? That's epic carelessness.

If the little girl had been in her bed she might have missed death by a whisker.

Certainly that's claws for alarm.

Obviously small blunders can be expected in the military testing out weapons, but this really is a bridge too fur.

I think I spy a pac-guy fan...

Poor cat. How did the shell be so far off though? *Cries for cat, is thankful was not a dog*:(

Impressive technology that could locate a cat that far away AND indoors, then eliminate just the cat!

Looks like the military's aiming capacity really isn't up to scratch.





Hehe, I live for these.

This could have been a cat-astrophe.

Gaaaah!

how could Artillery have been THAT off-course? AND close to Houses? AND THE MILITARY DIDN'T KNO WHAT THE FUCK IT WAS??!! im more worried about potential Human loss-of-life than a Cat getting killed, but its still Sad.
:rolleyes:


Cat-Astrophe; up-to-scratch; etc, DAMN U PEOPLE & ALL YOUR LAME JOKES!!!!! DAAAAAAAAAAAMN YOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This could have been a cat-astrophe.

Yeah, this military blunder could go down in hiss-tory.

We really need to catnip these puns in the bud.

That's not the real story. The real story is that the military has perfected feline seeking ammunition! Combined with a mutagen that transforms humans into cat-people, it would be unstoppable. AIEE!

There could have been bodies littered all over!









Double pun!

AWWWWWWW!

poor cat...thats prettyfucked...

But, honestly, how bad do you have to 'misfire' in order to hit a residential area? thats fricken crazy, not only do we need to train our guys better than that, but they shouldnt be able to fire in range of people's homes...:sniper:

i can has mortal injury?

:(

£5 says the cat was British...

but that situation might be a bit too hairy considering the girl is in a catatonic state

Whomever was responsible should at the very least get a furball warning...

there is probably some sort of get out claws for these situations

Why is there a firing range in New Jersey? Not only do American comics give the impression that New Jersey is a hell hole, but that state is pretty damn densely populated... Why not place the firing range some place safer. Like in, uh... Wyoming? No one lives there.

Anyway, this cat was obviously assassinated for knowing too much. Dead cats tell no tails. *nods*

Something that small was obviously made for killing cats that are in heat.

Projectile, Universal, Sense and Snuff Yowling (PUSSY)

Homes in on the yowling sounds of cats in heat.

<lol>Accident, my ass. That cat was planning a terrorist attack. That cat was a member of a highly trained, covert cell of islamic pussies. This was a hit, nothing more, nothing less. Just made it look like an accident as cover.

</lol>

chill out people. the base is in new jersey because the representative from new jersey pulled lots of connections to get it their (bases boost local economy).


in order to put an artillery range completely out range of homes you need 2,500 square miles of land.
to be honest i don't think the military didn't know the type of artillery just the public affairs representative they sent to the press didn't expect that question.


my guess is he flipped the numbers(for elevation and azimuth). an easy error on a new system.

Reprimaned? That dolt has no place near anything even remotely dangerous. They should get an 'Other than Honorable' discharge plus pay for all damages.

kitty-seeking missles... I think there may be a market for this.

Not the way the military generally handles accidents. You find out what went wrong, and then you take steps to make it harder for it to happen again. Punishing people for an accident only leads to cover-ups and evidence tampering.

The pine barrens in the south (and southeast) of New Jersey are sparsely populated, especially relative to the north and coastal parts of the state.

They really need to purrfect their shooting.

That made me laugh :p
...even though I feel really bad for the kitty. :( I <3 kitties, and I would be devastated if mine died.

The cat knew to much... :mp5:

They already have at least one artillery area larger than that, why couldn't they have been trained in the equipment there (then more advanced training at their own base)?

you can only test so many artillery pieces at each range at a time.

Who's talking about testing? I was talking about training, to stop any basic equipment mistakes that might occur.
