We could also name the country: Kazakhstan, the same people that gave humanity the apples.

I'm reminded of an Arlo and Janis comic strip in which Arlo, talking to the family cat, observes that dogs are mentioned over forty times in the Bible and yet cats are never mentioned at all.

I was really, really confused about what cats had to do with darknet-powered (drug) markets, lol. Glad to know they are not yet smuggling domestic cats there :-P

lol I was wondering the same thing... I wonder if having Silk Road in the title of this post is the reason it made the front page with only 1 comment too.
