10 Smiling Horses Guaranteed To Make You Smile, Too

Cameron Simcik — Mon, 20 May 2013 08:00:01 +0000

Horses are funny creatures. Tthey’re totally into Skrillex hair and crazy hats. And don't even get us started on Mr. Ed. Even without talking, horses still crack us up, which is good, because horses can't actually talk. They can wear a ridiculous horse grin though.

9 Sloths Who Are Working for the Weekend

Emerald Catron — Thu, 09 May 2013 03:16:09 +0000

We love sloths. There's no question. But we can't spend all day looking at them online-- sometimes we have to take a break to order food from Seamless or run a damp sponge over our body. Worse, sometimes we actually have to leave the apartment. To combat this, we've taken sloths and given them everyday jobs, so we can imagine the people we have to talk to are sloths while we're talking to them. That's normal, right?

We already know animals partake in entertaining shenanigans, but capturing it at the right moment doesn’t usually happen. Well guess what– we’ve found those select few pictures that were [...]

Man Buys Poodles, Discovers They're Actually Ferrets on Steroids

Emerald Catron — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 20:40:40 +0000

This is not a joke. A man at the largest outdoor bazaar in Buenos Aires bought two toy poodles from a vendor for $150 each. Only he didn't actually buy two poodles. He actually bought two ferrets that were hopped up on steroids and given fancy hairdos so they would look like poodles.

Bobby G. — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 21:21:36 +0000

If you don’t laugh at these damn goats, then you really need to re-evaluate what you find funny. These aren’t some knucklehead college students doing flips off a roof onto their head. These are goats, just doin’ what they do…trying to express themselves. There’s really not much else to say…right? I guess I could point [...]

Cameron Simcik — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 17:23:40 +0000

Dogs have it good these days. Like, really good. They're gaining all sorts of attention just for being fashionable or looking like a human. How do they do it? We haven't the slightest clue. All we know is these days they're gaining more casual fame by being photographed in their owner's backpacks like it's no biggie (and it's ridiculously cute).

12 Cats Who Aren't Happy About Getting a Bath

Cameron Simcik — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 04:12:46 +0000

There's no sense in denying cats can be a little sassy from time to time, simply because they're not afraid to make it totally obvious they hate something. Costumes? Check. Reindeer antlers? Double check. Their 'tude doesn't make them any less adorable, though! It's sort of charming, actually.

One of the best parts about the Super Bowl is that everyone becomes football fans when it rolls around. It doesn't matter where you're from, whether or not you know what's going on or if you're just watching the game for the commercials (guilty)-- it's just a fun ol' time!

The Pope's Dove of Peace Was Attacked by a Seagull

Donald Deane — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 06:09:04 +0000

Just as he finished a sermon on Sunday, Pope Benedict XVI symbolically released two doves into the air as a call for peace. But soon after the birds took flight, an aggressive seagull began dive bombing one of them. Uh oh. We're generally not superstitious, but we sure hope this isn't a sign of bad things to come.
