Genetic Research Suggests Felines 'Domesticated Themselves'

The findings... suggest that the ancestors of today's tabbies, Persians and Siamese wandered into Near Eastern settlements at the dawn of agriculture. They were looking for food, not friendship.

Duh!

The pollen index is a good thing for allergy sufferers, even if mine are fairly mild, & I can see the value of the mosquito index during the summer to follow trends & watch out for West Nile in the area.
But WTF is up with BBQ index?! You can't look outside & see that it's clear & sunny, &, "Hey, let's fire up the grill"?

WTF BBQ?
