I decided that symetrik cat needed a new caption.
OK, OK, it’s silly and oversimplified. . . just be glad I didn’t go with “Noether Cat has a conserved charge.”
However, since I’m currently reading Hofstadter’s I Am A Strange Loop (2007), I was sorely tempted by the caption, “Reflection symmetry — this caption breaks it.”
Heh – Kitty Noether, Emmy’s lesser known little sister.
OK, you cracked me up with your alternative captions. I don’t know what that says about me. Maybe I am one of the weirder strange loops, being a Darwinian theist.
Hey, I just had the nifty idea of recasting the levels-of-selection debate in terms of a strange loop. Remind me to think about this more deeply, after I have slept.

I was just over at Massimo Pigliucci’s blog, spreading your good word. (not about the strange loop though)
Many thanks.
Oog. I’m not nearly drunk enough to deal with something which uses the word reductionism seriously.

Let alone “undermining” it (how do you “undermine” bottom-up explanations anyway? :D )
