    Ocelots and USB ports

    I propose that El Reg should dump Jefferson Alberry II and employ Ashley Pomeroy to write the iPhone-related humour column. I got as far as "Ocelots have USB ports in their spines and they light up when you type really quickly" and splorfed coffee all over my monitor.

    Ocelots in Tejas

    Saw one a few years ago, there. By the time I got the camera up, it was gone. But it was a magical moment. Much like diving with dolphins off the coast of Belize.
