Export sport

It turns out they're not covering the WRC on TV in the UK, how ridiculous is that?!
But, thanks to the miracle that is the intrawebs it is still available, and it's probably more convenient for me to watch it on my computer anyway.
Still, I can't help but find it amazing that I am forced to watch the World Championship of a European sport recorded from an American TV.

On a completely unrelated note, how awesome is heterochromia?
I was looking something up on Wikipedia when I got distracted by a dozen other articles branching off from one another, as you do, when I stumbled across it.
I was just thinking that it'd be an amazingly awesome condition to have. Of course it would most definitely not be awesome to have any of the sight problems that come with it, or the gank looking sectoral heterochromia, but I already wear glasses and have a slightly weaker left eye, so I figured that it'd at least be nice to get something out of it and have a really distinguishing feature like one green eye or something.
They say you can get heterochromia from an injury, so maybe I should get some laser eye surgery and knock the machine a little, but that might be pushing my luck.

I also found in my Wiki-travels that my cat might be a breed of snowshoe. The description certainly matches, and as the snowshoe is considered a rare cross-breed, I find that fact to be rather marvelous.
