OT: I can haz cheezburger
This message's link with Linux is that the expression in the subject has been used in another thread in this list. Although in the context of it's original thread the meaning was quite obvious, I was intrigued enough by it to try to find it's origin. However Google, Wikipedia, Answer, Wolfram, all came up with a lot of references about cats (as in pet animals) and one reference to a wireless network named as such, but nothing to explain it. Andrew, where is the expression I can haz cheezburger coming from, and what is its original meaning please, so I can take it off the spot is currently occupying rent-free in my left brain hemisphere. Cheers, Adrian

Thanks for this. Shows you that a little bit of digging is necessary because the answers are just below the surface. I got the first link from Google, but didn't click on About. That would have settled it. Cheers, Adrian
