In the 80s music videos link from the other day I noticed the unsurprising absence of BLOTTO, a favorite Albany (NY)-based band from my high school/ college days (along with Fear of Strangers, aka The Units). So I went and looked for them on YouTube.

Of course, we now have empirical evidence that the number of times you must scare the crap out of a cat in order to modify its behavior is a minimum of 4.

Wouldn’t be science without data.
