Probably of interest to a few on my friends list:

Today's nugget of trivia from The Calendar tells me that March 17th is the feast day of St Getrude of Nivelles, patroness of cat-lovers and protector of cats.

Ooh, I'd like to see her slug it out with Bubastis then.... "I'm protector" "Hsssss... No, I am!"

Would've made an entertaining Pantheon addition - assuming the Egyptian gods could've hitched a ride with the Romans... ;-)

Thats an odd thing as in the Metro today it informed me that today is the 33rd birthday of the world's oldest liveing cat (called Whiskey)!!

Ooh, thankyou. I was just about to utterly forget that I need to phone my mother (it's her namesday)

BBC Radio 4 weather man today forgot St Getrude (??Gertrude) but commented on the weather "for St Patrick's Day". Any folding money on what he/she will not say on April 23?
