Prehistoric Pussy

The domestic cat may be older than previously thought. And, yes, I know "prehistoric pussy" is an obvious and hacky title, but it's what leaped to mind, so suck it.

Living Out Your Golden [Retriever] Years In Comfort

Where else but in Japan would one find a nursing home for dogs? It's actually not a bad idea, though, I think, if a tad redolent of wealthy overindulgence and extreme anthropomorphism.

A Shot Of Biblio-Caffeine

Behold the future, ladies and gentlemen: the Espresso! Who knew the cafes in Borders and Barnes & Noble and such would be so ironically prescient?

A Thought I Haven't Had Since He Became A Calista Flockhart-Lovin' Award Show Drunk

Damn if I ever thought I'd say this about a sixty-something who got an earring and a stick-figure during his midlife crisis, but Harrison Ford actually looks kinda sexy. It's the fedora, I expect; that thing is magic! I'm kinda looking forward to the new Indiana Jones, even if it'll probably be totally disappointing.

I Can Haz Swimming Pul?

Cow in a pool. I love how the cow's all like, "What, bitches? I'm hot! Can't a bovine get a little swimming action without all the drama?"

Speaking Of Bears...

Giant Panda ancestors not so giant. Can you imagine the adorableness that must have been a wee Panda? Quick, someone build a time bridge to the Pliocene! Cute Overload! needs pictures, stat! OMG!

Man Vs. Nature

Marine wins battle with bear. As a lover of all of Nature's adorable creatures, especially bears, I would usually be upset by this story. But the guy feels bad about killing the bear, which means he's dangerous but with a squishy side, and that makes me really want to fuck him. I bet he's a total DILF.

BTW, they shouldn't call the guy an "ex-Marine." Once a Marine, always a Marine! I learned that from Scott (who also probably knows a thing or two about "knocking out" "bears" with his "log").

River Rumble

Which is longer: the Nile or the Amazon? Does it matter? As they say, it's not the size of the river, it's the current!

Too Much Damn Wang

The Chinese are running out of names.

I've Always Wanted An Evil Twin, Myself

In belated honor of last Friday's Daytime Emmies: soap cliches!

In Defense...

...of Britishisms. As an unabashed Anglophile, I've been known to bust out a "bloody" and "git" and such from time to time, though not terribly often. I also definitely prefer a few British spellings (particularly "judgement" instead of the American "judgment"). On the whole, though, I'm a patriotic Yank in my idioletical choices. Doesn't mean I don't have the right to get down with my Limey self, though!

The Music Of The Spheres

The moon Titan rocks! As for the musical tastes of other moons, Europa is more R&B, while Io is really into Death Metal. Ganymede is, of course, the gay one, so it's all show tunes, disco, and electronica.
