I don't know how many here are aware/familiar with the Long Now Foundation, but I saw this in their blog today:

I don't even know what to think of it.

LOLCat Bible has been around for awhile. I did a couple of verses a couple of months ago but I can't remember which ones they were. I don't think I even think I signed up for an account.
I was aware of the LOLcat Bible. I was just surprised where it appeared.
One of the Long Now's biggest projects involved translating part of the bible into 6000+ different languages. The LolCat Bible project makes sense in that context.

Oh. Of course. How silly of me.
I'm going to take an uneducated stab in the dark and say PR. If they seriously think there's going to be tribes of people speaking only in LOLcat in the distant future who will gain utility from their LOLcat translation, then they are morons. Both the tribes, and longnow, obviously. In which case, fuck 'em. Again, both.
The long now has nothing to do with the lolcat bible, they just pointed out a biblical translation.

Nailed it!
I don't know what's up your cooch, but I think the Lolcat Bible is delightful, IRL utility or not.
