Admittedly, this song is full of stereotypes, but when they're about a dog recognized worldwide as the Taco Bell mascot, it's not really that bad -especially when he's this cute.

He might not be great at abducting innocent victims or flying away before investigators can make it to the scene, but he just might be the cutest UFO you've ever seen.
Did you know the original Tower of Terror was supposed to involve Mel Brooks? Or that Disneyland almost had an Edison Square? Throughout the years, imagineers had plenty of ideas that never transpired and Mental Floss has a great list of some of the most interesting projects that never happened.
That's not a photoshop image, there really is smoked salmon vodka -and that's not the only bizarre and gross flavor out there, there are also varieties in pickle, lemongrass and waffles as well.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but if you just aren't content with the calories and cholesterol in bacon and eggs, then perhaps you should try adding some cream and sugar to turn the mixture into ice cream. It certainly would be an easy way to get the kids to eat breakfast.
This guy knows what he likes, and he likes Wu Tang!
Warning: The video has Wu Tang lyrics, so it's NSFW.
How many towels can this dog balance on its head? One...woof...woof...woof...woof...Two...
As you might be aware, if you’ve been online or watched any television over the last month, the long-awaited Hobbit movie is finally in theaters and while plenty of people are talking about the movie, we’re here to talk about its inspiration, the classic Tolkien novel, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again. So grab your second breakfast and sit back and relax because there’s plenty to talk about when it comes to this classic children’s book.
Tolkien Started to Create Middle Earth Long Before He Thought Up The Story
While plenty of fantasy authors create mythologies to work with their characters and their plot lines, Tolkien, who had an academic background in Germanic and Norse language and religions, instead started creating a mythology and elven languages in 1917 -long before he ever thought about the characters that would later star in his stories.
He didn’t even start to think about hobbits until the early 1930’s, when a sentence popped into his head as he was grading some tests. He immediately scribbled down the words, “In a hole in the ground lived a hobbit” and within a few years, he finished the story.
He Didn’t Even Send the Manuscript to a Publisher
After finishing The Hobbit, Tolkien sent it to few friends and colleagues to review, including a student named Elaine Griffiths. In 1936, Elaine was talking to Susan Dagnall, who worked for a publishing company, when she recommended that Susan take a look at the manuscript. Susan was impressed with the work and gave it to Stanley Unwin, the head of publishing house George Allen and Unwin. Stanley gave the book to his 10 year-old to review, as he was the target age for the title, and the boy’s positive review led to the publishers deciding to print the book.
Sure, putting all the horcruxes on one necklace makes for an impressive piece of jewelry, but it sure doesn't make much sense if you're trying to keep yourself immortal -after all, then your arch nemesis just has to find the necklace to destroy you in one fell swoop.
There are tons of Evil Dead and Army of Darkness references in this amazing wedding cake, but let's just hope the inside doesn't resemble anything from the movies -particularly the monster in the fruit cellar.

A donut hole only needs a few garnishments to make a great head for a snowman on a skinny glass of milk. If you're into snowmen, Better Homes and Gardens has a number of treats ready to help you live out your winter celebrations indoors.
He may be cute, but I wouldn't hold my breath hoping for a great present from this guy -you're more likely to get a swat across the face.
That great Dane might have about 100 pounds on the little tiny piglet, but that doesn't mean he'll win this round of roughhousing because that is one tough little piggy.

These little critters aren't in it for the presents or the giant feasts, they're simply here enjoying (or, in a few cases, being miserable) the holiday spirit. So sit back, relax and enjoy the Christmas weekend with a few of the cutest holiday critters around.
MSNBC requested readers submit pictures of their furry companions to be included in the site's Christmas critters post and Rhonda Schuldt was all to happy to send in this great picture of her little Leena all dolled out in her Christmas dress.
Coco here was also part of the MSNBC bounty. According to her owner, Liz Knight-Erb, it took quite a lot of yummy bribes to get Coco to leave her Santa suit on long enough to get her Christmas photo taken.
Denise Cox sent MSNBC this adorable image showing Alice hanging around waiting for Santa.
For some reason the person who submitted this image of their adorable little pugs to MSNBC wanted to stay annonymous. If they were my babies, I'd be bragging to the whole world.
I don't know the names of this Christmas angel, but I certainly appreciate Ambrosio Photography for sharing this image with the world.
And here is the famous feline Japanese station master, Tama, posing in her Christmas finery.
As I said above, not everyone looks excited about Christmas and Link just wasn't feeling the holiday spirit when Flickr user windy234 dressed him up like a reindeer.
Maja und Cora certainly took well to dressing up for the occassion. I think Flickr user Astrid Kopp must have told them about the naughty and nice lists.
And, amazingly, Ollie didn't seem to mind either the collar or the jingle bells Flickr user joce01_y put him in, maybe he knew how great he looked
And lastyly, here is my own chubby little Percy wishing you all a very Happy Holidays.
And by the way, if you want your critter to be featured on the Lifestyles of the Cute and Cuddly (whether or not he or she is decked out for the holidays), just send your images to jill@neatorama.com.
You've seen pictures of critters getting ready for Christmas, but now it's time for some video footage of animals actually celebrating the holidays. Consider it our gift to you.
Here are red kangaroos, chimps, bears, meerkats and more enjoying a little bit of holiday enrichment treats at the Taronga Park Zoo in Sydney.
