If you feel like you've been looking at an enormous number of cat photos online lately, don't worry, you are not as sad and lonely as that once implied. The lolcats are everywhere.

Lolcats (from LOL and cats) started springing up earlier in the year. The world was clearly starving for a socially acceptable cute-cat-picture delivery mechanism, and the lolcats have become one of those truly bizarro things: an internet phenomenon.

Lolcats have their own language ("kitty pidgin").
