Nyan Cat

Nyan Cat is a looping video depicting a cartoon cat with a poptart attached to his back and flying through space while singing a repetitive "NYAN NYAN NYAN" sound and leaving a rainbow trail.

The video became a viral internet meme in YouTube.

ORIGIN:
The origin of such meme it's believed to be in the "Buttered Cat Paradox" which states that a buttered bread will allways land buttered side down and a cat will allways land on their feet, so attaching a buttered bread (or a poptart) on a cat's back will cause an anti-gravity effect making the cat to float indefinitly. (This doesn't explain the NYAN NYAN sound, but I believe that was added to the video just to make it cute... and annoying)
- What would happen if I tie a buttered bread to a cat's back?
- You'd get a Buttered Cat Paradox!! just like the Nyan Cat

Nyan Cat

A cat that beams subliminal messages into your brain, slowly devouring it. Once under Nyan Cat's spell, you may only say: Nyan. When saying Nyan, you may notice that your tongue forms a L shape, that is because you are completely under the control of Nyan Cat. You will also find that you begin to eat a lot of pop tarts to make up for the fact that your body is not one. There is no cure for this yet, and if you happen to be tricked into watching Nyan Cat, good luck.

Person #1: Ok....
