The whistleblowing site, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://wikileaks.be/wiki/Wikileaks">Wikileaks</a>, is still up and running despite Judge Jeffrey S. White's order that it <a rel="nofollow" href="http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/article3398882.ece">be shut down</a> over the publication of bank documents exposing the bank's money laundering and tax evasion schemes. en-us Thu, 21 Feb 2008 14:00:55 EST Wed, 27 Feb 2008 00:39:22 EST http://www.treesandthings.com/story/2008/2/21/11256/6012#12 Actually Little Wiki-Boat has gotten such a wave of publicity off this story that what it should worry about most is that it will crash due to increased traffic.<p> Not being much of an internet browser and only using the internet for sites I already know, Wed, 27 Feb 2008 00:39:22 EST http://www.treesandthings.com/story/2008/2/21/11256/6012#11 It'd be hard to tell if it's Pandora's box with Schrodinger's cat.

It's certainly possible, and even common, to be stuffing a cat into a box (or a pet carrier, anyway).
