bo the "quasi-rescue dog"

"The twists and turns of the Portuguese water dog's route to the White House make for the kind of intrigue that political junkies and the highly opinionated dog world delight in." ...pardon? (AP)

philippe petit's at it again!

Mr. Petit says he will perform a high-wire walk in the fall in Midtown Manhattan. It will be high, it will be long, and it will be outdoors in a very recognizable location that he does not want revealed quite yet — arrangements are not final. (nytimes)

thx bunners.

i'm passin' out.

way to handle it, glenn.

bears are the new sharks.

i watched a show last night called 'bear attack!' about bears in alaska and how crazy they are, and i learned a few things i didn't know. for starters, i did NOT know that brown bears and grizzly bears were the same gd kind of bear. and they can run 40 mph!! another other kind of bear in alaska is the black bear. they are smaller and meeker than other bears, but you still shouldn't mess with them too much. if you know what's good for you. i dont think i need to familiarize anyone with polar bears. the media has been over-saturated with these attention whores for years. then there is the majestic kodiak bear, which is basically just a big brown/grizzle bear. made famous by sarah palin not being able to shut up about them, kodiaks are the world's largest bear, averaging around 10 feet tall. finally, the only kind of bear crazier than an alaskan bear is a russian bear.

don't worry about fact-checking any of this. it's all accurate. just wanted to make sure you all know as much as i know about bears. which isnt very much, especially compared to my knowledge of sharks.

(and one other thing you should know is that dave valdini thinks that bears are just people in bear-suits. and that notion makes me ctm at least 3 times a week.)

nErD aLeRt!

looks like peter zumthor got the prize for being the biggest architecture nerd this year!! (nytimes)

an easter miracle

this morning, i only cracked two eggs to get these three yolks...

Hello Bo Obama

Barry finally came through on his campaign promise to his daughters and gave them the happiest Easter of their lives when he introduced them to Bo, a 6 month old portuguese water dog. Bo was previously owned by Sen. Edward Kennedy, and is named after Michelle's father who was nicknamed Diddly. we look forward to following your white house adventures Bo, ttyl.

polar bearz!

A polar bear attacked a woman at Berlin Zoo Friday afternoon after she climbed a fence and jumped into its habitat during feeding time, police said Saturday. One adult polar bit her several times after she plunged into the moat, police said. Zoo workers tossed rescue rings toward the woman to hoist her out and distract polar bears swimming nearby, said Goerg Gebhard, a Berlin police officer. At one point the woman fell back into the water and was grabbed by a bear before she was eventually hoisted to safety. (cnn)

thx bun.
