Promotion for Japan’s stationmaster cat
“This is the first time in the world for a cat to become an executive of a railroad corporation, a company official said.”
Yes, we’d have assumed that. Like stories about how a bacterial organism has just become Minister of Finance or a pair of underpants has won the Nobel Prize for Literature, one just knows somehow that it hasn’t happened before.
