Ondrej Brody & Kristofer Paetau

DOG CARPETS (2007) What is this project about? Ondrej: The dog carpets are essentially about society’s hypocrisy. It questions the special status that dogs and cats have in our, western society. Although we can see that in China, despite the local culture and cuisine, the pet culture is on its rise as well. The Bolivian […]

Animal rights terrorism advocate Dr. Jerry Vlasak: Murder of animal researchers is “morally acceptable”

I may have joked a bit about certain surgeons whom, because they say such dumb, pseudoscientific things with alarming regularity, I consider embarrassments to the noble profession that is surgery. Usually, it’s been surgeons who reveal an astonishing ignorance of the science of evolution as they parrot long discredited and debunked canards about evolution […]

Wiggly Wigglers: Gardening through Social Media

A small gardening business in the UK has managed to turn around their business into one of the most successful small businesses in the country by selling warm composts online.

do you know about the twisted float shrug?

do you know about the twisted float shrug? I didn’t. I didn’t really know what I was taking a class to learn. I just knew I wanted to experience a class with Annie Modesitt, and I was offered the last space at Abundant Yarn’s all-day shrug workshop. […]

That’s how we laugh the day away…

*snip* *snip* Thanks Seriously.

It was a tremendous outpouring of concern that […]

Is Bart Simpson Working For PETA?

I’ve fallen well behind on my Simpsons viewings, but every now and again it’s great to get back in touch with the family from Springfield. A tipster pointed me towards this last week’s episode called Apocalypse Cow which features Bart falling in love with a cow name Lou, only to realize […]

Sigh.

MRI on Friday. If the marathon goes out of reach for another year, I’m subletting my apartment, leaving a dead cow for the cats, and getting out of the country for the next six months.

Some animals do not scurry in a straight line

yet others do. Why is that, I wonder? Watching an ant bustle along, you’ll observe his constant course-corrections, yet for no apparent reason. A mouse tends to scamper in a straight line when he’s moving quickly. Larger bioforms like cats, dogs, and horses don’t meander like ants. And if they do it means they’ve got […]

Zebrafish may help solve ringing in vets’ ears

Ernest Moore, an audiologist and cell biologist at Northwestern University, developed tinnitus — a chronic ringing and whooshing sound in his ears — twenty years ago after serving in the U.S. Army reserves medical corps.

Back flash

Pressure On Factory Farming Intensifies After Release of Pew Study

Yesterday morning, I blogged about the Pew Commission’s study on factory farms. The report has since spawned numerous headlines. Here’s Paul Shapiro’s roundup of recent media coverage, along with a nice background on why this report’s such a big deal: The prestigious Pew Commission on Industrial Farm Animal Production just concluded its 2.5-year […]

Animals with Dirty Stuffing

Today I was digging for some info on ‘funny animals’ and came across the following paragraph: Natalie exited her school bus today full of gusto. She was given the honor of bringing the first grade class mascot, Bongo, home for the night. Now, some of you might remember what […]

My Junk Creation: Cat Toy (and more) from Ketchup Bottle

After rinsing a used ketchup bottle, I decided it had a different destination than the recycling bin. Cats love a puzzle. And better yet, I didn’t have to spend anything to make this toy. I already had the toy mouse to go inside. This is a very easy reuse project, […]

Cats That Look Like Hitler!

Cats That Look Like Hitler! Wednesday, April 30, 2008 Does your cat look like Adolf Hitler? Do you wake up in a cold sweat every night wondering if he’s going to up and invade Poland? Does he keep putting his right paw in the air while making a noise that sounds suspiciously like […]

Sometimes you just have to take things into your own hands.

Because of set backs, my nice professionally designed sign won’t be ready for at least a few weeks. At first this really upset me. Then it just made me mad (at myself and my poor planning). So I did what I typically do when I get mad, I did something about it. […]

Tila Tequila Courted With Striptease Acts, Farts (Episode 2 Recap)

Tila Tequila Courted With Striptease Acts, Farts (Episode 2 Recap) “All my stripper friends. All my ex-boyfriends. We all want the same thang.” Tila, your lyrics for the theme song to A Shot at Love 2 don’t make sense. You should be singing, “All my stripper whores. All my farm […]

New We Are Scientists Video - “Chick Lit”

We’ll take the outdated Seinfeldian angle on this one: “What is the deal with We Are Scientists obsession with dogs in videos?” Haha we were so funny in the ’90s. No seriously though, what’s the deal with the dogs? It made sense in “After Hours” for the “Chris’s blind date is a real ‘bitch’” […]

Why Are Kids So Crazy About Animals? (pfblogs.org)

Photo: Pamela Klaffke Yeah, zoos are fun. So are cartoons. And I certainly see the appeal of a teddy bear. But why are kids so over-the-top crazy about animals? I am especially struck by the fact that some of the most popular cartoon and children’s-book animals are among the least appealing animals in real life. […]

iPod = History

I hung out at Hotel Figueroa on Monday night with some of my fellow Metro-bloggers. I was in no condition to be having any alcohol since my post-Coachella body was like one of those sponges you find abandoned in the desert. But I had some anyway, and it probably cost me my […]

Howard’s Vegan Soaps

In my pre-veg days, I just bought the cheapest soap on the shelf.  In college, I think it was Jergen’s soap that was 99 cents for three bars.  Eventually, though, I got tired of the chemicals, the animal tallow, and how the soap seemed to disappear way too quickly. I became a soap […]

Of Timeless Villages, Thyme Honey and Tryingly Tenuous Technological Threads

It’s no good, something’s going to have to give around here. Can’t possibly stretch the 24-hour day any wider. Life was busy enough before the Internet became an obsession. Then blogging made surfing the Net seem like the carefree hours of childhood. Then Ravelry started and the meaning of black holes became a lot clearer. […]
