This is simply hilarious. Any animal lover will get a kick outta this. Enjoy.

Saw this ad yesterday. Fantastic, Love it! Wish they did ads like this around here!

The full article about this ad can be found with the full res image here:

On Saturday evening our dog, Buster, was acting very strange. Near bedtime, he was barking, running around in the house, and very easily startled. He kept wanting to go outside, barking at the door (something that is VERY rare for him at night). When we let him outside, he would just sit on the step and stare at the door – not like him at all.

My wife put him on the bed with us, normally he would just lay at our feet. Instead he kept coming and trying to sleep on our pillows and nuzzle up to us. It was all very strange.

I dozed off and then my wife woke me up, worried that something was going to happen, like an earthquake. We have seen many shows where people claim that their pets have acted strange before an earthquake, or other disaster.

That night nothing happened. In the morning, I even went online to see if anything had happened anywhere, and nothing. Then this morning I found out that an earthquake ad in fact struck!

A 7.2 Earthquake struck Mexico at 3:40 Sunday afternoon. Here is the CNN report.

Now I am not certain that Animals do in fact have the ability to predict earthquakes – maybe they do, maybe they don’t, I don’t know, but this does make me wonder. We’ll find out next time he acts all weird.

I like my fish cooked. Not only cooked, but long since dead, with the head and all the other junk removed. I could barely stomach watching this video of a fish that was still alive after being partially cooked – and then eaten… while the poor think continues to gasp for air.

I realize that in the wild, animals eat other animals while they are still alive, so the fact that they are eating a live fish does not disturb me – the fact that it has been deep-fried and is still alive – well, that’s just in-humane.

I have never seen a bear deep fry and then eat a still live salmon…

I saw this today and found it incredible. An unreal experience for a National Geographic photographer and his encounter with a giant leopard seal. Amazing how an animal that appears so potentially dangerous can be so kind and nurturing.

I don’t usually forward or share emails, but I got this one today from a good friend and found it very inspiring. It is one true story that must be shared and read by all. Enjoy.

In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in  Kenya after graduating from  Northwestern  University .

On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air.

The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully.

He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it.

As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.

The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments.

Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled.

Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away..

Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son.

As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing..

The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down.

The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.

Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter could not help wondering if this was the same elephant.

Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing, and made his way into the enclosure.

He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder.

The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter’s legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.

Probably wasn’t the same f*#&ing  elephant.

This is for everyone who sends me those heart-warming bullshit stories.

The Loch Ness Monster has been found!

If you take a look at Google Earth (57°12?52.13?N, 4°34?14.16?W) and scroll down a bit, you’ll see that this could be the discovery of the Loch Ness Monster! (To the left of the boat).

It could also be nothing. I am guessing nothing. But it could be the real thing too.

What are your thoughts? How would you explain this?

Earlier this year it was thought that Google Earth had uncovered the lost city of Atlantis.

Have you ever given much thought about the safety of sharks? I know the first thing that comes to my mind when someone says “shark” is Jaws and the idea that these creatures are nothing but dangerous predators who wouldnt give a second thought about gobbling me up for dinner (I suspect I would be quite tasty). In reality though, sharks, just like all other creatures, are a vital part of the food chain, and they in great danger due to over-fishing (if you can call it that) by some of our human counter-parts.

The practice of “shark-finning” is one that I was totally unaware of until a good friend introduced me to his personal activism website, AntiSharkFinning.com. Fisherman are catching sharks in great numbers, cutting off their fins for delicacies such as shark fin soup, and throwing the sharks back in the oceans, fin-less, to drown.

Not only is this incredibly in-humane, it has driven the shark population down by an estimated 90%, and this trickles through the food-chain to cause other issues in our oceans.

Please take a moment and visit AntiSharkFinning.com to learn more and find out what you can do to help.

So you have decided to live a life of crime – stealing cars, mugging people, armed robbery, and all that bad stuff. Whats the best way to escape being busted by the police? Well, you may think it’s turning yourself into a Goat, but the police are onto that trick – at least in Nigeria.

When I read this story I was sure it was direct from the presses over at the Onion, but after seeing it at Reuters and Yahoo News, I suspect ths story is true – sorta.

You can read the full story over at Yahoo News, but the jist of it is that a group of vigilantes hauled a goat into a police station in Nigeria claiming it was an armed robber who turned himself into a goat to escape arrest after attempting to steal a Mazda 323.

Apparently this goat is still in police custody – yet another reason I am glad to be Canadian.

Okay, so I have seen a lot of weird video’s, and a lot of strange animals, but the penis jousting of the hermaphroditic flatworm is unlike anything I have ever heard of.

I must say, it makes me very grateful to be a human and not a lasagna noodle looking worm. “Who’s the man and who’s the woman? I dunno – lets fight about it – the winner gets to injects his sperm into any part of the losers body, and the loser gets to be the mommy.” Bizarre.

The flatworm does have something on us though – they get to have two penises. This whole thing reminds me of a video that would belong on the Onion.
