World's Oldest Cat Turns 125 in Cat Years

Mischief, the world's oldest cat, just turned 27 years old. He's still very active, but has been slowing a little in the last years. His owner, Mr. Thorne, got Mischief when he was only a few months old.

He's still got two good years to go if he wants to be the oldest living cat ever though, as the current record stands at 29.

Update: He's got at least a good 98 years to go before he catches up to the world's oldest living animal, Jonathan the tortoise. If you click the link, you'll see a great picture of Jonathan from 1900, when he was already around 75.

Wanna Own The Empire State Building?

It's surprisingly easy. The Daily News took fraudulent possession over the building within 90 minutes. All you need is some paperwork and then it's easy to get the deed. With the deed, you can sell it, get a mortgage or just burn the deed while laughing maniacally. How fun!

Do The Face Dance



Daito Manabe is a Japanese artist and programer who has figured out a way to make his face involuntarily dance to music: by using electricity. Each beat hits a different part of his face with a quick shock. The result is disturbing, yet highly entertaining.

Knitted Horse Head Says A Mouthful

If you need to send someone a message, sometimes the only thing that will get through to them a bloody horse head. If you're like me though, that sawing through bone of a prized race horse is just too messy and requires too much elbow grease. So here's a vegan-friendly option for all you aspiring mobsters, knit your own decapitated horse head with this lovely pattern.

Is Emily The Strange A Rip Off?

Goth icon, Emily The Strange, may be a blatant copy of a 1978 character in the book "Nate the Great." Look at the obvious similarity between Emily and Rosamond, both in their looks, cat poses and words. Very "strange" indeed me thinks.

This Test Brought To You By...

A teacher who could no longer afford to print out the tests for his classes has taken to selling ads on his students' tests. The current pricing is $10 per quiz, $20 per test and $30 per final. Most of the ads are from parents and local businesses. What kind of a message would you put on your kid's test?

Oldest LOL Cat Revealed

A fan of I Can Has Cheezburger sent them this delightful postcard he found in an antique store. The print is from 1905.  The grammar may have been nicer back then, but those poor LOL Kitties are have been being denied food for over 100 years. What a shame. I think someone needs to start a charity organization to get kitties cheezburgers once and for all.
