Well, it's an idiom for one thing, but I was having just a little more fun with it. Just being silly, but if you guys like the lolcats, that's cool, too.

Andrew, sometimes there's nothing sweeter than karma.

Edit: response to Andrew's post below -

bee's knees and cat's whiskers = height of excellence. Probably at that time, the crystal radio and use of the cat's whisker was innovative and new, thus - a standard or height of excellence. If you think about it, innovation is not necessarily permanent - that's why so much value is placed on innovation. It drives change, exploration, and development.
cat's pajamas = daring and new (Apparently, around the 1920s, they were daring and new.)

I could have said:
eel's ankles - but that would open another can of worms in the water game department
elephant's instep - would probably fall flat here in CD
and then we have -
snake's hip - I have nooooo idea... that one is a little hard to grasp.

I rather thought cat's whiskers was a great pun in a couple of areas.
