It's not that big of a nation and the cat was reportedly quite large. Maybe it looked bigger than it was because of how small Luxembourg is.
Indeed.
it is a most VICIOUS and CuRUUUEL kitteh!

These were considered pretty good special effects, back in 1972

A different kind of disaster this time:
It's the 28th birthday of our next enlightened ruler
Prince Guillaume. And the second largest magazine in the country has found him five possible wives. I have no idea who four of them are but the fifth is Paris Hilton ...
Grand Duchess Paris Hilton? Oh no, you won't!

They're like cancer sniffing dogs?
Pity they're so hard to find.

Re: Disaster strikes our proud nation (again)!
In 2009 we had 1116 cases of shoplifting in the country. As fascinating as that figure is (
), the fun is in the details: While a lot of those cases were just one-time things where someone took advantage of sales-personal not watching, organised shoplifting seems to be on the rise!
So what did those "shoplifting gangs" steal? Well, the usual: alcohol, jewelry, electronics and razor-blades. Yes, there seems to be a market for stolen razor-blades ...
Seriously? WTF?
Luxembourgish article here.
German article here.

Just the blades or cartridge inserts? Due to the price and the size of the packaging of the inserts, a lot of stores here have them either in dispensers - so that only one package can be taken at a time - or else at the front desk.

Also, you'll notice that we have no word "razor blade". We just call them
Gillette .

There is a razor-blade crime wave in Finland as well, it has been on the rise for a couple of years now. It is supposedly because they are easy to steal, usually placed in such a way you can grab and run, and are easily moved and sellable in Eastern Europe (or anywhere, for that matter).
It's
foreign thugs doing this, of course.

They arrested a Mongolian shoplifter here some months ago (I wouldn't even have known about it if I hadn't been looking for stuff about Mongolia). Mongol hordes! Well, a horde. Well, a Mongolian anyway. But it was probably a scout!
