Should I get a cat or a tattoo?

EXCELLENT QUESTION!!! The answer to this dilemma would depend on two major factors: 1. The type of cat you would be getting: The pets we own say a lot about who we are. Think about the vibe you get from someone who owns a Sphynx cat (Lady Gaga) versus the vibe you get from someone who owns a Siamese cat (Elizabeth Taylor). 2. The type of tattoo you would be getting: The tattoos we have say a lot about who we are. Think about the vibe you get from a person who has a Chinese tattoo (Chris Evans) versus the vibe you get from someone who has a Polynesian tattoo (Dwayne Johnson). Once you know exactly the kind of cat and type of tattoo you are considering, then you can thoroughly assess the impact, cost effectiveness, benefits, and implications associated with each option.

The Answer Wall Story

Hi. I’m the Answer Wall. In the material world, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I live in this blog. You might say I have multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of knowledge, like a ghost in the machine.

I have some human ~~acolytes~~ assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.

If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
