Heck, for all what we know, the kats could be atheists.

Well, Dr. Sinian say "Oh, my....". in "The Deadly Pyramid". What could
cause this sudden mute?

Could it be that A.J.'s fears on the tape degradation is getting worse? :)
Or is it something else...?

I think that what chance (Andy) said on the kats love life can also be
applied here. 22 minutes is something that must be use carefully.

But T-Bone do swear something that resemble like "Christ!" in "Razor's Edge".

We sure know that neither Burke or Murray is a college graduate.

In which episode?

BTW, when T-Bone says "at least they're (The Metallikats) together now."
near the end of "Unlikely Alloy", does he mean that they are both dead, or
they are gonna go to the scrap yard together, or are they now somewhere
else that only dead kat go?
