I could certainly see a fun application in pumping a heavy stream of<br>
kitten photos, but I feel like it would be hard to communicate how the<br>
speed affects the content.<br>
<br>
How about a kitten-themed speed tester?<br>
<br>
Have a spigot of kittens dropping them into a container that is<br>
draining slowly from the bottom. If you connection is fast enough, you<br>
fill the container to the top, and they can climb out.<br>
Too slow, and they all fall out the bottom to their demise.<br>
<br>
Poor dial-up kittens....<br>
