Hello Kitty Guts

Posted by Miss Cellania in Toy & Video Games on October 17, 2009 at 12:14 pm

If you’ve ever wondered what’s inside Hello Kitty, we now know there’s a Valentine-shaped heart with a little bow as well as lungs that look at you and cute little intestines. Of course. Designer Dr. Romanelli made these for MediCom Toy Incorporated. Link -via Buzzfeed

Axolotl Salamanders

Posted by Johnny Cat in Animal on October 16, 2009 at 11:08 am

Image: The Cellar

The Axolotl is a rare type of salamander, closely related to the Tiger Salamander species.  They are about 9 inches long on average, and carnivorous.  The cute critters are only native to central Mexico’s Lake Xochomilco, and yes – they are edible, and used to be a staple in the Aztec diet; but they are highly endangered due to the expansion of Mexico City.

They are, on the other hand, highly bred in captivity due to their value in research.

Axolotls are especially easy to breed compared to other salamanders in their family, which are almost never captive bred due to the demands of terrestrial life. One attractive feature for research is the large and easily manipulated embryo, which allows viewing of the full development of a vertebrate. Axolotls are used in heart defect studies due to the presence of a mutant gene that causes heart failure in embryos.

This little girl’s Colonel Sanders Halloween costume is too precious. Her mom not only made  the entire outfit, but she also made the wig out of wool yarn and the effect is pretty priceless.

Where The Wild Things Are Cupcakes

Posted by Jill Harness in Arts & Crafts, Book & Lit, Food & Drinks on August 27, 2009 at 10:08 pm

Fans of the book will love these delicious cupcakes. They’d be great for any kids party, but that doesn’t mean adults won’t enjoy them too.

These are texas-sized snickerdoodle cupcakes. For frosting and decorations I used chocolate ganache (Moishe), canned vanilla frosting (Max), sprinkles, store-bought gumpaste eyes, and fondant colored tinted by hand.

Red Pandas Adopted by Farmer's Dog

Posted by Jill Harness in Animal, Odd News on July 19, 2009 at 3:22 pm

When rare red pandas in China were abandoned by their mother, zookeepers looked high and low for a wet nurse. The farmer’s dog pictured was one of three candidates for the wet nurse position.

“No one knew she was pregnant. Her plump body and bushy hair disguised her protruding belly until the babies were born,” said Ha.

Australian Heat Brings Koalas Closer To Home

Posted by Queuebot in Animal, Pictures on February 4, 2009 at 12:35 pm

Global warming has an upside!

“It has been so hot in South Australia for over a week…40+ degrees Celsius everyday – 104 F, very dry also. These are the photos of a little Koala that just walked into the back porch of a home around the way looking for a bit of heat relief. The lady of the house filled up a bucket and this is what happened!”

Sometimes a little critter just can’t catch a break. This poor little man keeps trying to eat a cherry tomato, which keeps sliding just out of reach. Thank goodness for the kind Samaritan that finally holds the food in place for him.

Beanie Baby Hunter Trophies

Posted by Jill Harness in Animal, Arts & Crafts, Toy & Video Games on January 29, 2009 at 9:38 pm

I have to love this stripus africanis sample. When you purchase them, you even get a nice little biological info about the species. The strupus africanis enjoys grass, cereal and Snickers bars.

“This ideal stripus africanus specimen has been stuffed and retains all of its original features. This bust would be an excellent trophy to add to your collection. A small plate on the bottom identifies its genus and species. The wood plaque that it is mounted on measures 5×7″ (or 13×18cm for our continental friends) and is pre-drilled on the back for easy hanging.”

Kids' Letters to Obama

Posted by Jill Harness in Baby & Kids, Politics on January 21, 2009 at 9:42 pm

McSweeney’s has a fantastic compilation of childrens’ letters to Obama. Some of them are so adorably fantastic. It seems to be kids between 5 and 12 mostly. Even if you don’t like Obama, you still can appreciate the innocence of their words.

Dear President Obama,

When you are president, don’t eat junk food. Junk food makes you fat. Your family shouldn’t eat junk food, either, because it is not healthy. Obama, you rock.

Amy Ramirez, age 8
San Francisco

Dear President Obama, Are you going to be pictured on our money? How do you get in the White House? Do you like Abraham Lincoln? Do you have a big backyard? Martin Luther King Jr. had big fans. How many fans do you have? You could help us by giving us food. I am Luis Ramirez. I go to school at Mayberry. I like to play video games.
