Polly Wanna Killer?

I love this story:

Who needs Colombo when you have Polly on the case?

And Big Lizards Too

Like we need anything else...

Exotic 4 Foot Lizards Invading Florida

But I ain't afraid of no lizards.

Merkel & Bibi

German chancellor Angela Merkel has a singular ability to have unphotogenic photos taken of her. Just search my blog and you'll find some. This one is no different:

Bibi Merkel Photo Makes Waves

A Hitler mustache... really? On a German chancellor?

Yes, It's Monday

Took a cat and a dog to the vet this morning and have been dragging my butt ever since.

App What?

Mapping The Long And Short Of Sex

There's an app for that?

Werewolf In Sochi

Olympic Athlete Spots Possible Wolf In Dorm

It's hard to tell from the brief video, but it looks like a scrawny wolf to me. Heck, it is Russia after all. I have a female German Shepherd who looks bigger than that "wolf"...

Good!

Muslims 'Warned In Fatwa Not To Live On Mars'

OK, we don't want you there anyway.

Be Careful! Giant Pacific Octopi might want to steal your camera equipment.

They're really smart...

Camera equipment is really expensive.

Clown Shortage?

I think we're all OK with this...

EXCLUSIVE: National Clown Shortage May Be Approaching, Trade Organizations Fear

I don't like clowns, but Pennywise is the creepiest one I've ever seen.

Not So Sunny News

This was mindboggling to me:

One In Four Americans 'Do Not Know The Earth Circles The Sun'

I grant that some of these questions may have been theoretical and I can see some equivocation here and there, but IT IS A FACT that the earth orbits the sun and everyone on this planet should know that.

This is just unbelievable.

Cat Blog Friday

For this Cat Blog Friday...

... a Valentine kitty from the warmest state right now.

Pricey Dud

CNN: Michelle Obama's 'Dress Probably Cost Around $12,000'"

How can such a pricey outfit look so darned bad?

Is it just me?

What do the low information voters think of this?

Stunning Insensitivity From Michelle Obama

Ummm, I guess not much ;-)

Girafficide

Danish Zookeepers Kill Baby Giraffe Then Fed Him To The Lions

I've taken enough biology classes to understand the need for culling a herd, preventing genetic inbreeding, and all the excuses given by the Copenhagen Zoo.

What I don't understand is the dismemberment of a giraffe IN FRONT OF A CROWD INCLUDING MANY CHILDREN and then feeding the parts to the lions.

What were they thinking?

You girls need to grow up and stop being such drama queens.

Super Bomb

When bad things happen, my first inclination is to think they happened in Florida. Thankfully, this did not...

This is one on you, Jersey.

Shuttle Columbia

Eleven years ago today, my husband and I were watching the Columbia's approach to Earth and I ran outside to wait for the sonic boom as it passed over Florida. I waited and waited. After a while, I realized something was wrong. Finally I ran inside and the look on my husband's face said it all.
