Dog Nurses Tiger Triplets at China Zoo
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.

Solar System in Perspective
The Earth is really really small in the overall scheme of things. So why do I think I'm so important?

Pennsic By Night
I've never been to Pennsic, and I'm not sure if I ever will. My daughter, who got me into this whole SCA thing, has gone off and joined the Marines. It's not the same without her. Photos from Pennsic By Night

Incredible Ass
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
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
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.

Rainbow Horses
A full rainbow forms above horses grazing at Owl Creek Ranch in Snowmass Village, Colorado. Apparently this guy was driving around when this perfect pic appeared. 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!
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.
