Sep 18th 2010 By: Andy Khouri Following a Twitter back-and-forth between Marvel.com editor Ryan Penagos and cartoonists Chris Eliopoulos and Katie Cook , the social network was inundated Thursday with a great wave of cuteness the likes of which haven't been seen since Commissioner James Gordon (the pomeranian, not the cop): Marvel Cats. Eliopoulos got the ball of yarn rolling with his lolcats-spoofing Catlactus. He also created the #mrvlcats hashtag, and things got progressively cuter from there, with Cook and artists like Skottie Young, Clayton Cowls, Adam Koford, Lar deSouza, Mike Maihack and Evan "Doc" Shaner contributing more kitten-ized versions of Marvel Comics characters. Check out some of our favorites after the jump.

Last year about this time, I posted a list (plus definitions and correct usage) of the office cliches least loved by a random sampling of executives polled by Accountemps. You may — like me — be too snobby and old-fashioned to want to sling the lingo, but you've got to know it or run the risk that your peers and superiors deem you hopelessly out of the loop. (Oops, there's a tired office phrase if there ever was one!) That's why I have made it my personal mission to keep you up to date. Alas and alack, Accountemps conducts its jargon survey only once every five years.Twitter Is Down: 15 Alternative Things To Do
