Winged cats have been known to exist since the 19th century, but only a handful of people have actually seen—let alone owned—one. This woman in Sichuan province watched as her beloved kitty grew angel wings on his back last summer after a bunch of female cats tried to mate with him. "Many female cats in heat came to harass him, and then the wings started to grow," she said.

I'm guessing this means you will need Gears for Google products that use it (Google Docs), and those products will not use the HTML5 standard in the foreseeable future? Hmmm.. if that were true, seems like a step backward for Google. Support standards!
