Apropos is a useful word to learn. But first you have to know how to pronounce it: AP-rə-pō. Then you can conveniently change the subject of a conversation by using the expression “Apropos of nothing,” which is a glib way of saying, “Oh, and by the way…”
Apropos of nothing, Kim Il-sung also conspired with the Russians to betray his country – and so did Josip Broz Tito! Why isn’t anybody investigating them?

I’m trying to decide if the kid’s remark is truly a non sequitur or if Anderson is making a subtle mathematical pun that somehow relates to kitties.
