That was my first job as an artist. Photographer paid me to "blend" the headshots bad completions and acne scars, remove errant hairs, get rid of double/triple chins. After my 50th image, I would close my eyes and see pox marks/ black heads and baggy eyes. It paid well but I image he got bank since he hired me to retouch his finals. They were mostly lawyer-type headshots and some middle age housewife magazine stuff.

The Oxford English Dictionary records the first use of the phrase "cat flap" in 1957 and "cat door" in 1959,[1][clarification needed] but the idea is much older.

A gatera (farm cat hole) in Rincón de Ademuz, Valencia, Spain

In rural areas, cat doors (often simple holes) in the walls, doors or even roofs of grain and flour storage spaces have long been used to welcome feral cats to hunt rodent pests that feed on these stores. Human semi-domestication of wildcats dates back to at least 7,500 BCE in Cyprus,[2] and the domestic cat was a part of everyday life in grain-dependent ancient Egypt (ca. 6,000 BCE onward). Nowadays, this function is mostly lost, but in some rural areas, such as Valencia, Spain, and Vaunage, France, farm cat doors and holes (Spanish: gateras, French: chatieres) are still common.

The 14th-century English writer Geoffrey Chaucer described a simple cat hole in the "Miller's Tale" from his Canterbury Tales (late 1300s). In the narrative, a servant whose knocks go unanswered uses the cat door to peek in:

An hole he foond, ful lowe upon a bord
Ther as the cat was wont in for to crepe,
And at the hole he looked in ful depe,
And at the last he hadde of hym a sighte.

In an apparent early modern example of urban legend, the invention of the pet door was attributed to Isaac Newton (1642–1727) in a story (authored anonymously and published in a column of anecdotes in 1893) to the effect that Newton foolishly made a large hole for his adult cat and a small one for her kittens, not realizing the kittens would follow the mother through the large one.[3] Two Newton biographers cite passages saying that Newton kept "neither cat nor dog in his chamber".[4][5] Yet over 60 years earlier, a member of Newton's social circles at Trinity, one J. M. F. Wright, reported this same story (from an unknown source) in his 1827 memoir, adding: "Whether this account be true or false, indisputably true is it that there are in the door to this day two plugged holes of the proper dimensions for the respective egresses of cat and kitten

But I would say that's it's courageous to make a hero who is allergic to clothing.

Damn, the show just started at the beginning of the month too. Seem like there is a lot of fans, probably because of Gurren Lagann

Well a lot of facts are false about history. History is documented by winners and by kings, so it's hard to get the truth. We do know that Newton died a virgin and that he was not inspired by an apple. Also, he could not do a trip in europe because of the plague, so he invented Calculus at home instead.

You just have to sort of let the fanservice wash over you, because it's the least interesting thing about the show.
