How to Take Over Teh Wurld: a Lolcat Guide to Winning by the Author of "I can Has Cheezburger" Professor Happycat and icanhascheezburger.com

If you haven't gone to the website "Icanhascheezburger', it is a Lolcats site, meaning it has cute, funny and amusing pictures of cats with even more amusingly misspelled captions. This book collects more of the best from the ichc website.

The book is broken up into various chapters like: "Beware uv menni danjurs", "Charms to Disarm", "Do What U Want" and 'Know Ur Skillz". Each set of pictures loosely fits the criteria of the chapter, such as a fat cat in a fake tie with the caption, "I has three years Excel and Powerpoint" for the "Skillz" Chapter.

It's hard not to laugh at the pictures when combined with the captions. I can't quite say I had a favorite one, because there were too many that made me laugh to have any one as a favorite. One of my favorites showed a tiny kitten being bathed in a sink, looking up with a reproachful look in its eyes, with the caption saying, "You has betraid my tiny trust".

If you aren't familiar with the LolCat phenomenon, it's pictures of cats with misspelled captions, presumably said by the cats themselves, who aren't able to write in good or proper English. There are also all sorts of weird words used to describe parts of cats, such as "harbls" or 'Horribles" meaning a cat's sack, and so on.

This is the perfect book for introducing someone to Lolcats, or discovering the phenomena on your own. Packed to the brim with cute and funny photos with captions. This book can provide a much-needed laugh break at any time during your day. Readers will find plenty to laugh at, and begin looking at their own pets a bit strangely, wondering what lurks behind those loving eyes and inside their small brains. Could it be... plans to take over the world? Recommended.
