Note: The Cat in the Hat Comes Back enjoyed renewed popularity in the early 28th century with its discovery in an Earth Library by a felino-hominid researcher from Uuplech. The contents of the book made the rounds on Uuplechan networks under the caption "Tell me this doesn't look JUST like my half-uncle Cubbins."

Not surprisingly, Uuplechans found all three live-action versions of Saint Geisel's 1st "Cat in the Hat" book more than a little insulting. Not because of the way the Cat in the Hat was portrayed... no, the movies were just dumb.

Note also that the correct term for 'a missile to be deployed against "anti-missile missiles"' is not "anti anti-missile missile." It's "anti anti-missile-missile missile." You're always supposed to have one more "missile" than "anti," because otherwise nothing will blow up. Granted, this information comes from civilian linguists, rather than from military sources. Military sources would almost certainly be using acronyms instead.
