I know he’s been featured countless times now, but Grumpy Cat still makes me so happy. Is that some kind of schadenfreude? Catenfreude? …Fine, I was already leaving.  [via JuliaSegal]

Ever wondered what would happen if you changed all the minor key notes in REM’s “Losing My Religion” to major? You’d get this, “Regaining My Religion.” “Someone has gone to the trouble (I don’t know how but would suspect using Melodyne DNA or somesuch) of processing REM’s minor-scale downer hit ‘Losing My Religion’ so that all the minor notes are now major. When I followed the link I thought it’d be a cover, but no, it’s the original, processed.” [BoingBoing]

My God, it’s uncanny! All credit in the world to Josh Rowntree for discovering this amazing similarity between Tommy Lee Jones and Grumpy Cat, aka Tard the Grumpy Cat (supposedly short for “Tardar Sauce.” Uh huh, sure.). It certainly wouldn’t be the first time Tommy Lee Jones has been described as a grumpy cat. (Check out WarmingGlow’s Golden Globes recap here for more, you can see the full list of Golden Globes 2013 winners and nominees after the jump).

So, how do you rank this on the scale of animal-celebrity dopplegangers? This is going to sound crazy and I may lose some friends for this, but I put this above Christan Bale and Kermit the Frog, Benedict Cumberbatch and an Otter, and Wanted director Timur Bekmambetov and a Tibetan Fox, but well below the gold standard of Taylor Lautner and an alpaca. (I really wish I could still call it “Llama Lautner,” but I have a duty to biology).
