A New Brunswick woman is wondering how she made it through Saint John Airport security and all the way to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont., with a live cat in her suitcase.
Mary Martell discovered Ginger, the family pet, in her luggage after a two-hour plane ride to Toronto and an hour’s drive to Niagara-on-the-Lake. The cat apparently snuck […]

A spicy sausage known as the Welsh Dragon will have to be renamed after trading standards’ officers warned manufacturers that they could face prosecution because it does not contain dragon.
The sausages will now have to be labelled Welsh Dragon Pork Sausages to avoid any confusion among customers.
Jon Carthew, 45, who makes the sausages, said yesterday […]
Vermont Country Store:
This Christmas your dog will be all smiles (and so will you) when he bites into this cheerful chew toy. Made of durable rubber and doggy tested, it will keep Fido grinning ear to ear as he fetches and funs with it to his heart’s content.
I would kill to see our family pet […]

Sometimes married couples just need to add a little spice to their love lives.
A Thai zoo is hoping that “panda pornography” will spark romance between its two giant pandas, which were married by proxy last November in an elaborate Chinese-style ceremony.
(Link is SFW unless reading clinical descriptions of pandas’ sexual practices is verboten in […]
I’m not even slightly a cat person, but since it’s Friday, here’s a special gift: funny cat pics, many of which belong to the Cute Overload oeuvre (though I prefer its counterpart, Ugly Overload). Sadly, there is no Tubcat in this amusing feline gallery. (Side note: My favorite animal site on the Intarweb is and […]

It was only a matter of time before more stories about the planned filming of Rambo IV: In The Serpent’s Eye started seeping out. This action flick is slated to be “shot” in a Thai national park in the far north over the coming dry season. The global media just gorges on […]
How to carry a bucket and drive a motorbike at the same time. Awesome.
The tag says it all:
“ASIAN SIZE XL.”
I bought this pair of shorts here in Bangkok recently. If you’re a large person like me and you’ve ever tried to buy clothing in Asia, you’ll appreciate the fact that Adidas has seen fit to label these bad boys honestly. An XL in Asia is perhaps an M […]

Thanks to Dave T. for passing along the shocking, shocking news regarding the existence of the Finger Forks. These contraptions, which were recently featured on BoingBoing, are clearly a shameless rip-off of my ingenious Chorks concept:
Two words: prior art! I am so calling my patent lawyer…
The Washington Post’s Gene Weingarten supplies some very amusing tips for men in their twenties.

Speaking of Matt Gross/the Frugal Traveler, let’s give it up for another peripatetic Matt. I speak of Matt Hoffman, a dude who visited some 39 countries and did his goofy (yet oddly infectious) dance in each of them. Check out the video above or visit his site.

Tim Kreider had an amusing op-ed in yesterday’s NY Times regarding the recent controversy surrounding Pluto’s classification as a planet.
Pluto is what my old astronomy textbook rather judgmentally called a “deviant,” and I’ve always felt a little defensive on its behalf.
I’ve long regarded Saturn’s misty tantalizing moon Titan as the Homecoming Queen of the […]
