Picture
Just looking a funny cat videos, let alone all the cute animal videos and photos on the Web, could use up significant otherwise productive hours... days... weeks... ? 

According to REELSEO, over 2 million cat videos have been uploaded to YouTube alone, with 25 billion views. If the average video was 2 minutes, you'd have to watch 150 of them every day (about 5 hours) for 36 and a half years. That's if they banned all future uploads NOW. Doh... 37 years!  Is my math right? 


DEFINITION of this 3-syllable adverb:
  1. with great care or caution; warily.
  2. cautious, careful, or wary.

    The Word of the Day comes from Dictionary.com. Use the word in your own haiku and add to the comments.

    Improve your vocabulary and your haiku skills at the same time! If you don't know the definition, it's below, but see if you can figure it out from the haiku and/or image. 

    Poet and designer, David Alan Foster has been experimenting with haiku since the '70s. He has inspired (or possibly offended) many with said experiments.
