<p>"The place called "The Two Dogs" is featured in <strong>The
Bourne Supremacy</strong>. In the film, "The Two Dogs" is a pub
located in Goa, India, where Jason Bourne (played by Matt Damon)
and Marie Kreutz (played by Franka Potente) are living a quiet
life before they are discovered. This location plays a significant
role in the beginning of the film, setting off the events that
lead Bourne back into action."</p>

<p><strong>The famous two-faced cat, Frank and Louie
(sometimes called Frankenlouie), passed away this week<a
href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141208131511/http://www.telegram.com/article/20141204/NEWS/312049633">
at the ripe old age of 15</a>. The Massachusetts
feline held the Guinness Book of World Records title for
the longest lived Janus cat.</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">Named for the Roman god Janus, who was usually
portrayed as having two faces, domestic cats with two
faces are extremely rare, noted <a
href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141208131511/http://felinegenetics.missouri.edu/lab-personnel/leslie-a-lyons">Leslie
Lyons</a> of the University of Missouri's Department of
Veterinary Medicine and Surgery, who specializes in feline
genetics. (Related: "<a

Duecy: The Kitten With Two Faces.</a>")</p>
<p>The animals also generally don't live very long due to
health problems related to their deformity—making Frank
and Louie's 15-year run that much more impressive, Lyons
said.</p>
<p>The cause of Janus cats isn't completely understood, but
"we know there's a variety of genetic mechanisms that
could cause it," Lyons said. Only DNA testing can pinpoint
the exact cause.</p>
<p>Frank and Louie was a <a
href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141208131511/http://www.cfainc.org/Breeds/BreedsKthruR/Ragdoll.aspx">ragdoll
cat</a>, and while cats—both purebred and otherwise—can
fall prey to a number of genetic problems, Lyons doesn't
think breeding plays a role in the occurrence of Janus
cats, since the condition is so rare.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Lucky Feline</strong></p>
<p>Though it may have two faces, a Janus cat almost
certainly shares one brain, Lyons said. (Related: "<a
href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141208131511/http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2012/08/120831-venus-two-faced-cat-genetics-animals-science/">Venus
the Two-Faced Cat a Mystery</a>.")</p>
<p>"I would suspect there would be brain-function
abnormalities."</p>
<p dir="ltr">Lyons says the fact that other organs like the
esophagus weren't doubled up likely saved Frank and
Louie's life and allowed it to survive. (<a
href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141208131511/http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/cat-quiz/">Take
a cat quiz.</a>)</p>
<p dir="ltr">"In this particular case, one [side] didn't
have a lower jaw or esophagus. If you had both sides of
the face eating, I don't know what kind of complications
that would cause. Initially the complications are going to
be with the ability to eat and breathe properly."</p>
<p>Two-faced animals aren't limited to cats, either, she
added.</p>
<p>"It can probably happen in most any mammal, vertebrate,
[or] marsupial," said Lyons.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Compassionate Owner</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">Although Janus cats often die young, when left
to their own devices cat mothers will often abandon, kill,
or even eat a kitten with such severe deformities.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Frank and Louie's owner<a
href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141208131511/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newsvideo/weirdnewsvideo/8797652/Two-faced-cat-breaks-Guinness-world-record.html">
Marty Stevens has said in previous interviews </a>that
she took the cat home so that it wouldn't be euthanized,
something Lyons applauds. (Watch <a
href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141208131511/http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/animals/mammals-animals/cats">National
Geographic cat videos</a>.)</p>
<p dir="ltr">"It's very nice that there are individuals in
our society that have this type of compassion," said
Lyons.</p>
<p>"Like taking care of a handicapped child, they've taken
care of a [special-needs] cat for 15 years."</p>

* Er zijn 9 Olympische Ringen en geen 5 (goed kijken, dan ziet men
het). De bovenste drie ringen staan voor de 3 planeten buiten de
Aardbaan die men met het blote oog kan zien. De middelste 2 staan
voor de 2 planeten binnen de Aardbaan. Samen staan deze 5 ringen
voor de Wereld. Op de 3de rij staan 2 honden en een
Zonsverduistering (vandaar de gouden en zilveren Olympische
medaille) en deze staan voor de Werkelijkheid (er is een reden
waarom de meesten de 3de rij niet kunnen zien - hint: violet staat
voor Hades en indigo voor Athena en deze goden dragen een
hondenhelm). Verbindt men de middelpunten van deze 9 ringen
diagonaalsgewijs dan verkrijgt men het teken van de
Vrijmetselarij.

Ach ja, we zijn weer thuis.
