Cat-Scan.com is one of the strangest sites I've seen in some time. I have no idea how these people got their cats wedged into their scanners, or why.

It seems Cat-Scans is currently redesigning their site, but there archives are still there. I don't know if I agree with squeezing cats into a scanner for the pleasure of the internet viewing public. It just seems cruel to me.

From the rules:
Try to avoid scanning the Cat's genitals. We really don't need to see Fluffy's junk up close and personal.
Fluffy porn. Not good. I agree to that rules.

This old Cat Scan page has reference to both UT and Cat Scan (of course the Cat Scans, it is a Cat Scan page).
In fact you can even see CliffyB's scanned eyeballs.

But then again, maybe none of us are the last. I mean, who's to say who is definitively the "last" among lasts? I mean life is long and when you look at it from the perspective of say, a mayfly, or an aubergine, eggplant if you will, then the last could really be composed of all the firsts in the world put together in a blinding eye-stab flash of all the monkeys in the world exploding in the same instant, from having misread the directions on the Alka-Seltzer bottle. Then you see that the last is indeed the penultimate, just as the New World monkey, because of the prehensile tail, is in fact the fourth-to-last monkey, in the greater scheme of things. We are the supernova, the mote in the eye of thread 19.
And Paul Hardcastle never really had much to say about it.
