"Killing Kittens" in other communities is an euphemism for masturbation (after that silly image of a kitten being chased by two Domo-Kuns with the "Every time you Masturbate, God Kills a Kitten. Please Think of the Kittems"), which gives the idea of "Perl Kills Kittens" an amusing new slant.

Democrats kill about 5% more kittens than Republicans.

But in the singular it's "democrat kills kittens" at 647 results versus 680 for "republican kills kittens". Which, if you buy into that old saw about collective action versus individual action, makes sense.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
