In July of 2008, the carcass of a bloated, chimera-like animal washed ashore in Long Island. The ‘Montauk Monster‘ terrified and fascinated the nation that summer, with zoologists eventually concluding the beast was probably a water-damaged raccoon, rather than some sort of byproduct of a top-secret experiment gone horribly wrong.
Four years later, it looks like we have another monster on our hands.
Meet Stubbs, a sassy cat who has recently rocketed to fame. As mayor of Talkeetna, Alaska, he attracts visitors from far and wide, hoping to catch a glimpse of one of the longest serving mayors in the US.
Known locally as “Mayor Stubbs,” the feline’s popularity is undisputed: he has 1,000 friends on Facebook, which exceeds the town’s 900 residents.
July 16, 2012 I am having to fill in for Debbie Ray today, and on my way in I was able to pull over and snap this grainy, horrible shot of the Crescent Moon and Jupiter and Venus.
Earlier this week, Facebook changed all the default email addresses on its users’ profiles to a brand new address, @facebook.com. Sneaky yes, but was it really that big of a deal? Probably not since very few people are ever going to navigate through a Facebook profile to get an email address when it’s so much easier and more reliable to use Facebook’s internal messaging system.
However, the folks at Thank for You for Not Laughing have found other recent tweaks Facebook has made that are far more dubious.
The 2012 Daytime Emmy Awards would probably have been a big bore if it wasn’t for famed zookeeper Jack Hanna. When he arrived on the red carpet in Beverly Hills with a lemur, porcupine and 5-feet-long alligator, people were just a tad bit more than surprised. That feeling then quickly turned into shock and awe when he brought them all up on the Hilton stage, including the gator.
An 8-year-old hairless Chinese Crested named Mugly has been crowned the World’s Ugliest Dog for the second time in his career.
It’s time once again for the best photos of the week. We have some intense competition photos (horse racing and dog surfing), some crazy fashions to wear to those competitions (though a feather hat may not be the best choice for the dog surfing) and some pics of celebrities, though epic, we never really wanted to see. Plus, the muscular alien from ‘Prometheus’ without his make-up on. Check out the photos below.
Over the weekend 50 dogs took part in the seventh annual Loews’ Surf Dog competition. We’ve known dogs love to surf ever since the days of Spuds Mackenzie, but to see that many canines getting together to “hang ten” was quite a sight.
June 20, 2012 I was browsing through Imgur the other day (it doesn't matter what kind of photographs I was looking for, that's my business... ha!!) when I saw these pictures of the moon and sun.
When you’re young, “Dad” is the ultimate superhero. As we get older, this notion may begin to fade sometimes, but every once in a while when your old man throws on a cape, a mask and some unfortunately tight tights, you tend to remember that he’s always been a superhero. Here are some photos of our favorite “super dads.”
It’s that time of year again for brides to walk down the aisle, and soon-to-be brides to stay at home watching ‘Bride Wars’ and hoping their dresses look half as good as Anne Hathaway‘s or Kate Hudson’s. Oh wait, they can be.
Mark your calendars, Smiley Crew, for summer 2013.That seems to be when your heroine Miley Cyrus is planning to wed her fiancé, Liam Hemsworth. News of the couple’s engagement broke this week, and now, the teen queen is said to be brainstorming about every detail surrounding her big day.
