Dog Nurses Tiger Triplets at China Zoo

2007-05-17T13:06:00.000-06:00

BEIJING (AP) - It's a dog's life for three newborn tiger triplets in eastern China. The cubs, whom officials at the Jinan Paomaling Wild Animal World in Shandong province are so far just calling "One," "Two" and "Three," have been nursed by a dog since they were rejected by their tiger mother shortly after birth, said Paomaling manager Chen Yucai. The trio's adoptive mother, a mixed breed farm dog called "Huani," is expected to nurse them for about a month or until their appetites outpace her supply, Chen said. Chen said it is common for Chinese zoos to use surrogate dog mothers to nurse rejected tiger cubs and that Huani has nursed tigers before. In the past, Paomaling put dog urine on their rejected cub's fur to make the surrogate think she was nursing one of her own puppies but the zoo didn't bother with Huani because she seemed not to mind nursing the tigers, he said. "The family is getting along well and seems to enjoy each other," Chen said.

Incredible Ass

2006-01-04T08:52:00.000-07:00

Got this pic from Reuters. Is this an incredible ass or what? You think she's wearing tight blue jeans but she's not -- that's a naked rear and a teeny tiny thong. Invert the colors of this picture in PhotoShop and you'll see the real thing. I envy this butt.

Two Headed Snake

2006-01-04T08:47:00.000-07:00

This is We, a two-headed albino rat snake who lives at the World Aquarium in St. Louis. The aquarium has decided to sell the reptile. EBay bidding starts at $150,000. We is six years old, which is incredible because two-headed snakes usually don't live for more than a few months.

Baby Sculptures

2005-12-22T09:27:00.000-07:00

The claim is that these babies are made of marzipan. In other words, they are edible. Kinda gruesome and cannibalistic. They aren't. They are made of polymer clay by an artist named Camille Allen.

Just goes to show ya -- always have your camera ready. His editor accused him of carrying blow-up horses in his trunk. Copyright Dan Bayer 1999 www.dbpix.com

Tsunami Crests Phuket, Thailand -- NOT!

2005-12-21T09:12:00.000-07:00

This picture went around the Internet, pretending to be the tsunami of December 26, 2004. It's really not. That tidal wave was only four feet high. Packed a hell of a punch, though, didn't it? This picture was created in a photo manipulation program. Google "Christmas Tsunami" for more about the real thing.

A Dog and Her Ducklings

So these poor baby ducklings imprinted on a dog! How funny is that? I wonder how they turned out once they grew up. Did they think they were dogs too?

El Capitan

Morning sunlight on eastern wall of El Capitan, Yosemite Valley, California, with Merced River in foreground.

Pictures of El Capitan make me feel wistful. They remind me of someone long ago, someone who climbed rocks and rode motorcycles, someone who took me to San Francisco, someone that I said 'no' to. I've always kind of regretted that, saying no.

Question: Can You Grow Cress in a Keyboard?

2005-12-16T13:03:00.000-07:00

Answer: Yes.

Johannes Hjorth of the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, did it to play a joke on his friend. See more at: http://www.nada.kth.se/~hjorth/krasse/english.html

Only one keyboard was harmed in the making of this joke.

Pencil Carving

Here's a crazy hobby. You know how these things get started? One person chips away at a pencil one day because s/he's bored. The next person thinks that's kinda cool and tries to one-up them. Before you know it all their friends and office buddies are carving pencils, and they are all trying to outdo each other. http://www.infofreako.com/jad/enpitsu-e.html

Oolong's Passing

2005-10-07T09:45:00.000-06:00

I'm sorry for this news, Oolong passed away on January 7th, 2003.

He was so well and cheerful as usual, but at 14:30 his condition changed suddenly, and he couldn't support himself less and less, seemed to feel dull. Then at 19:30, he softly stopped breathing in the arms of his owner and completed his eight years and five months and more several days life filled with various adventure.

Since opening this website, Oolong had gotten incredible lots of support from all over the world, not only in Japan, more than 25 countries. Surely he seems to be the best fortunate rabbit in the world. Thank you very much for your warmth.

There is still some stock of Oolong's photograph not released yet, so this site will be regularly updated so far. Here he can live for ever. Wishing he can also live in hearts of you all, please.

Finnegan the Baby Squirrel

2005-09-30T16:50:00.000-06:00

Finnegan the squirrel was found injured and malnourished in the Seattle area in Sept. 2005, when he was just a few days old. He was brought to Debby Cantlon, an area resident with a reputation for taking in sick and injured animals and nursing them back to health. Her pregnant little Papillon, Mademoiselle Giselle, adopted the little guy. Finnegan will be released once he can take care of himself.

I sailed one of these at the Boulder Reservoir for a couple summers. Got capsized once when tornado-like winds came up. This picture reminds me of those summers.
