So what was it about?

P.O.D. - The things we do for Bacon

Searching for a Hippo picture for my Bacon Top Ten list I ran across this. Is it the Awesomest picture in the Universe? I'm inclined to vote yes.

Bull Gores Man

I'm not animal-rights guy (not by a long-shot), but I don't like bull-fights. They start by stabbing the bull through the head several times to give him brain damage, and the whole thing just seems cruel. Anyway, a chance to see a BULL GORE A BULLFIGHTER THROUGH THE CHIN?  I'm in.

Rhino Thong

Even though she's taking a break from Monkey Barn (while working on her thesis), Lady Jane Scarlett had to take a break when the sun finally came out in Michigan. As she explained it, "It's so rare we get nice weather...how can you not take advantage of it?"

I got excited when LJS told me she only wore a thong, so I asked her to take a pic and send it, which she was lovely enough to do.

Thanks, Lady Jane!

Baby Animal Tummy Rub

I have no idea what this thing is, but I'll give the little dude this:

For Lady Jane Scarlett, and Schrodinger's Kitten, and Tracy Lynn, and all the other insane cat-lovers who somehow see me as cat-nip. (Got this from my oldest sister, another crazy cat lover.)

Hugging Lions

Dudes,

I don't know what the story is with this guy, but this video is absolutely insane. It is written that Alexander was raised with lions, to teach him not to fear. Well, if I ever have a child, I'm hiring this dude.

Commercial - Offensive or Not?

No way this commercial would ever fly in America, but I don't find it offensive. I find it kinda funny.

What say you: is my Feminist Gauge in need of some fine tuning?

Daily Lynx - Potpourri

A few Lynx for you this morning.


1. Christianity Today has their list of the 10 Most Uplifting Films of 2008. Did FIREPROOF make the list? Yes. What else made it? I think you will be surprised, if not downright shocked. I know I was.



2. This story is for anyone who has ever lost a pet, or has a pet they care about. My favorite Sports writer, Bill Simmons, on the passing of his dog. The writing is flat-out excellent (I expect it to win something at the end of the year), and I recommend it to all, but be warned: it will get little dusty when you're reading.



3. From out "Only in Canda" file, an 11-month old boy calls the cops on his dad, who happens to be a marijuana grower. See, up in Canada, they respect the law so much they got their toddlers dropping dimes.


Those are your links for the day. Use them well!

A Sea-Kitten by any other name.....

I meant to post this last week, but I'm sure you read that PETA want to rename fish Sea-Kittens, right?

Quote of the Day - Dog Economy

"My dog is worried about the economy because Alpo is up to 99 cents a can. That's almost $7.00 in dog money."

Boy Feeds Zoo Animals to Croc

From the AP -




SYDNEY, Australia — A blank-faced 7-year-old boy broke into a popular Outback zoo, fed a string of animals to the resident crocodile and bashed several lizards to death with a rock, the zoo's director said Friday.

The boy jumped a security fence at the Alice Springs Reptile Center in central Australia early Wednesday, then went on a 30-minute killing spree, using a rock to slay three lizards, including the zoo's beloved, 20-year-old goanna, which he then fed to "Terry," an 11-foot, 440-pound vsaltwater crocodile, said zoo director Rex Neindorf.

The boy, whose deadly acts were caught on the zoo's security camera, also threw several live animals to Terry over the two fences surrounding the crocodile's enclosure, at one point climbing over the outer fence to get closer to the giant reptile. In the footage, the boy's face remains largely blank, Neindorf said.

"It was like he was playing a game," he said.

He killed 13 animals worth around $5,500, including a turtle, bearded dragons and thorny devil lizards, Neindorf said. Although none were rare, some would be difficult to replace, he said.

"We're horrified that anyone can do this, and saddened by the age of the child," Neindorf said.

Alice Springs police said they identified the boy, who lives locally, but were unable to press charges because of his age. Children under age 10 are not criminally liable under the law in the Northern Territory.

"By all accounts, he's quite a nasty 7-year-old," said Neindorf, who plans to sue the boy's parents. "If we can't put the blame onto the child, then someone has to accept the responsibility."

The zoo's security system, which relies on sensors, probably did not detect the boy because he is so small, Neindorf said.

P.O.D. - Black Bear style

My sister has a long (and complicated) history with black bears. So she was lovin' it when I sent her this picture. She made it her desktop image, and you should too!
