Kitten!
Expensive cat toy!
While I'm here: forgot to mention where Rey and I went last Friday night (or was it Thursday?) We went out to a theme bar, the theme being 'bloody cold'. The furniture, decor, and glasses are all made of ice. It was a bit pricey ($30 gets you half an hour's entry and one drink, $40 if you want a second) but as the review says, "It's unfair to compare Minus 5 with other bars that aren't made entirely of ice".
Oh, and a quote I liked:
"Readers should certainly be warned that many of the details out of which this book's narrative has been constructed are ambiguous and ferociously disputed - and that the sudden appearance of a number in the text, hovering like a fly over a midden, generally indicates that qualification is being offered in an endnote." - Tom Holland, Persian Fire: The First World Empire and the Battle for the West.

Yeah, but your construction workers probably aren't wearing short skirts like several of the other patrons were ;-)
Honestly, though, I think the 30-minute limit is less to do with health reasons than financial concerns. It's not a large bar, and most of their income seems to come from the cover charge, so it's presumably in their interests to make sure people don't stay too long.
