Bonsai Kitten Claims Another Victim
One cool thing about the Internet is that stuff hangs around. Jokes that made the rounds years ago eventually get to be retold to a new audience, with the same amusing results. Like just happened with my daughter, who, when I asked what she was looking at on the computer on the other side of my desk when she should be getting ready for school, started giving me an outraged account of an email she’d just received about Bonsai Kitten.
Me: Uh, Julia, let me tell you about this extremely important web site called snopes.com…

Well, it’s hard to know how to respond without knowing what parts of the site you find weird or racist.
Sometimes I post items about things I find amusingly offbeat, so I guess that might qualify the site for the “weird” label, though if that’s where you’re coming from, I think you’re painting with a pretty broad brush.
On the racism charge, though, I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

racist? of course…
A Bonsai Kitten sounds Japanese. Bonsai Trees are also Japanese. Bonsai Trees are made of wood, and thus float. What else floats? A duck. Hense if John weighs the same as a duck… a racist!
Who are you that you are so wise in the ways of science?
