PETA Opts to Change "Fish" To "Sea Kittens"

Whether you love PETA or hate them, you still may find the humor in their new campaign to change the word for "fish" to "sea kittens." Maybe they took the word "catfish" a bit to far, but you have to wonder is a fish still a fish by any other name?

Personally, I find this to be further discrimination against ugly animals. If they con you into thinking fish are like adorable little kitties, will it really get you to stop eating more fish? As for me, go ahead and dish me up some delightful meowing sushi, I'm hungry.

Mess With Your Mind Without Drugs



Boston.com has a very cool chart detailing how to mess with your mind's perceptions, naturally. I think the most interesting one is definitely the first one. It tells you how to hallucinate with ping pong balls and a radio. If you'll excuse me, I need to go cut some ping pong balls in half and listen to static for the next hour or so.

7 Awesomely Cool Kitties



Web Urbanist has a great new post up of some really unique felines. There's the cat that predicts death, the seeing eye cat, the station master kitty and more. Most of them, if not all, have already been featured on Neatorama, but it's great to see these kitties all in one place.

Adorable Jumping Spider Faces



Ugly Overload normally focuses on ugly critters, but the face of this little guy won me over. He looks like he's smiling. Jumping spiders are really interesting and don't worry, they're too small to hurt you.

Dogs in Outfits



If you're a fan of Upside Down Dogs, Muttskis or any of the other cute dog blogs that have been featured on Neatorama, you are bound to love Dogs In Outfits. As the name says, it's all dogs in outfits, that's it. And it's very cute as a result.

A Rat on A Cat on A Dog



Here's a great picture of a three-layer love fest. I almost wish there was a tiny flea on the rat just to make things even better. Best. Picture. Ever. I especially love that it wasn't staged, the photographer just happened across this freak occurrence.

If you've ever wanted to make your own adorable character from Little Big Planet, here's your chance to knit your own. If you're really good, you can even customize them like you do in the game.

Stunning Frozen Beauty



Maybe it's just because I live in sunny Southern California and never actually see snow, but it truly fascinates me. Even if you've had your lifetime share of cold weather though, you'll still probably love these photos of frost, snow and ice. Plus, if you actually read the text, you just might learn something new.

Incredible Edible Art



Food art is a strange field, but I can't help but love people who not only decided to play with their food, but make a living out of it. Over at WebUrbanist, they have spotlighted a few great food artists, one specializes in bento, one in food carvings, one in landscapes of food and then there's the sculpture/photographer above. They may make you love art their art work, or they might make you hungry, either way, it's certainly not a bad thing.

Every year, this crafter makes a new sock monkey. I love this one, it's the Hindu goddess of the arts, Sarasvati.

Wanna Buy The Big Bopper's Casket?

If your goal in life is to own the most tasteless rock memorabilia, then you best be heading to eBay soon. The Big Bopper was moved to a new casket recently and that means his previously used casket is now up for sale on the internet.

The casket is in good condition, having some minor rust damage and a little lime sentiment that shows water once entered the outside vault, although it seems the interior never suffered water damaged.

If you'd like to see the item in person before you place a bid, it is currently on display in the Texas Musicians Museum.

Chimpanzee Riding On A Segway


Japanese television is one of the best things in the world. Pair it with another stupidly catching internet song and you have an instant hit -especially when the video and song emphasize the wonder that is created when a chimpanzee rides on a segway.
