Yeah, I saw that pic somewhere else. Can't remember where, but I think my sister shared it with me.

It's been kicking around the Net a while now, but I bumped into it again, and didn't see where it had been posted here previously, so I figured some members may not have seen it, and would get a kick out of it. 
I like it, great share!

Maybe both your cat and yourself are reincarnated from the 15th century, and doomed to repeat those moments till you manage to not have it happen?
Some souls never learn.
Manuscript translation ...
"Beest thout advised and fullie fore-warnned against the use in thine quill of the Devil's own ink, the Baystateth Blue. This infernal ink wilt surely staineth thine quill a most noticeable shade of blue, and thou wilst ne'er be able to removeth that stain once it hath fully establish'd itself upon thine parchment."

Are those cat feet or bunny feet??

You can totally tell that isnt my cat, because there are no words crossed out and re spelled on that entire page

+1. My other thought was this proves that the issues with James and his cat are genetic, so he can feel better about it!
Ancient manuscripts get no respect. People are more interested in the meanderings of a cat.
ooooh, almost like Quantum Leap...well, almost. *sighs* my nerd just showed, didn't it?
We are on a web forum dedicated to shaving and in a sub-section that worships fountain pens, I think no one will judge you for Quantum Leap

Not true. I say it gathers interest because it really brings to life an ancient manuscript, and the scripts writer/keeper. At least that is how it is for me. It shows that not all those texts were done perfectly in some windowless room by some perfect scribe. They ran into problems in their day to day life/work, just like us... in James' case, as it turns out, it's exactly like things he's run into. lol
