9 Nobel Virtues in LOLcat
I know you're probably all tired out with lolcat this and can has that, but I just had to post this. When you take the serious face out of deep wisdom, somehow it just seems so much more wise (probably because it's easier to learn and smile when virtue takes the stick out of its bum).
The Odinic Rite lists the 9 Noble Virtues as Courage, Truth, Honor, Fidelity, Discipline, Hospitality, Industriousness, Self-Reliance, and Perseverance.
Courage
Dogz may bark, n flash feerful fang
but honor-stiffnd Kitteh standz firm.

Knowing Kitteh knowz. Knowz self,

Honor
Catnip mousies rip, an nomnomnoms evenshully come 2 bottm of bag

Keep word, keep faith, keep clawz sharp.
