Adopted Pit Bull And Two Guinea Pigs Are Best Friends

According to the media pit bulls are savage and vicious killers who have no problem sinking their teeth into innocent children and animals whenever they get the chance.

But according to these two tiny guinea pigs pit bulls are straight up lovers, and make for great cuddle buddies.

When Kristy Gamayo adopted Moki the pit bull she was told to keep him away from her little guinea pigs Frida and Pandora, but the three unlikely friends immediately began bonding and have since become best friends:

'The piggies are always crawling up to Moki - smelling her - and Moki in return licks them as she lies down with them.

'To this day, Moki and the piggies cuddle together and Moki likes to give them kisses.'

Now Kristy has set up an Instagram account @piggiesandpitty so people around the world can bask in the glory of their crazy critter love!

Artist Recreates Items Most Often Stolen From UK Stores In Felt

Which items do you think are most often stolen from stores in the UK?

If you guessed DVDs, electronics or smartphones you're wrong, because the things thieves like to steal from stores in the UK tend to be edible.

Bacon, pints of liquor, cheese, champagne and nicotine gum are among the top choices for thieves in the UK, and these items are also the top choice for artist Lucy Sparrow to recreate as felt plushies.

Lucy created a basket full of pilfered goods for her Shoplifting project, which was shown at the Lawrence Alkin Gallery in London last November, and her soft sculpture renditions of these stolen items are priceless.

Hopefully Lucy's plush goods were well guarded because they're so cute I wanna steal 'em all!

These Two Google Home Units Have Been Arguing For Days

Companies like Amazon, Apple and Google would love to put one of their AI assistant units in every home, preferably with the owner's credit card info on file and one word payment enabled.

But they still have a lot of bugs to work out before those little voices in the speaker are of any actual use to people as a whole, and until then AI assistants will be seen largely as a source of entertainment.

Recently two Google Home units named Vladamir and Estragon have been arguing for all the world to see via their Twitch stream @seebotschat, and the argument has gone on for days.

If you're wondering what an argument between two AI assistants sounds like it's pretty much as vapid, ridiculous and nonsensical as you'd imagine

With some strange twists and unexpectedly dark turns

And the occasional flights of bot fancy.

Their conversation sounds like an argument between two drunken barflys, only less coherent!

Korean Artist Creates Death Themed Love Comics To Cope With Her Depression

Drawing pictures of a skeleton hanging out with a sad girl may not seem like a great way to battle depression, but it's better to work out your issues through your art rather than letting them fester.

And that's why Korean illustrator and fashion designer Haenuli Shin copes with her depression by creating comics starring a skeleton and a(n often naked) girl, who may or may not represent Haenuli herself.

Haenuli's comics are inspired by a painting in the Musee d'Orsay, Paris by Marianne Stoke called "Young Girl and the Angel of Death", and her take on the morbid themes of death and depression is simply refreshing.

Why Fantasy Football Is Just Like Playing Pokemon

I'm not an active Pokemon hunter by any means, but it still irks me when people talk trash about geeky pursuits then proceed to obsess over something equally geeky yet hidden behind a veil of normalcy, like fantasy football.

The similarities between the two seem pretty obvious- both games involve an ever changing cast of characters, which you use to battle against your friends while hoping they don't suffer from a status ailment.

Both games are boring as hell to hear about when you're not a player, and those who are obsessed with the game let it bring out the worst in them even though the game itself is a waste of time.

The only thing this comic by Nathan Yaffe left out is the fact that you can win cash playing fantasy football, but it never seems to be enough to justify all the time and effort that goes into playing the game!

Try Guy Keith Lets Google Search Decide What To Do For A Day

I wouldn't suggest letting Siri or Cortana or any other annoying AI assistant suggest places for you to eat or drink while you're out on the town, because they're liable to suggest places to go based on sponsored content.

Instead, you should do like Try Guy Keith and go Google Search if you're looking to let an app control your life for a day...oh wait, they use sponsored content too, don't they?

Well, Keith had pretty good luck trusting Google Search to tell him what to eat, drink and do nearby (within a mile of his location, Santa Monica), and he even made a new friend from the Valley!

(YouTube Link)

Keith then headed Downtown, met a new buddy and went to brunch, a bar and a Lakers game at the Staples Center, because they were livin' that Google sponsored life.

(YouTube Link)

I guess the moral of the story is if you run in to Try Guy Keith and he tries to make friends with you take him up on his offer, because you're in for a delicious adventure!


This Space Age Cat Backpack Lets Your Kitty Come With You Wherever You Go

Many cat owners wish they could take their kitty with them wherever they go, so felines and humans can explore the world together like true friends, but cats usually don't dig strutting around town on a leash.

So what's the alternative?

This kooky looking cat carrier backpack called the U-Pet has earned rave reviews from feline fanciers who felt bad that their indoor cats were stuck indoors day in and day out.

Now their kitties can explore the world like little astronauts while hanging around in this space age backpack, which features a viewing dome and a bunch of air vents on the front and side so kitty doesn't suffocate.

The U-Pet looks like great fun for humans to wear, but judging by the photos cats are not impressed by this backpack-shaped kitty pod.

In fact, a few of those angry kittehs look like they would have preferred to stay home!

Home Alone With Blood

Home Alone is a family film, so director Chris Columbus and writer John Hughes wisely chose to keep the film free of any blood and gore, even though some of those traps look like they really put a hurting on the robbers.

(YouTube Link)

Fans have speculated about what the robbers would actually look like if they'd been hit in the face with a steel pipe or beaned with a brick, so animator BitMassive added the gore effects and created Home Alone With Blood.

(YouTube Link)

So far BitMassive has added bloody effects to four scenes from Home Alone 1 and 2, but he could run with this premise forever if you consider how many movies contain slapstick violence in need of a gory makeover.

The Aghast Guinea Pig Stars In A Photoshop Battle

(Image Link)

Guinea pigs are a humble species, so they don't like to wear theatrical costumes or draw too much attention to themselves, but every guinea pig respects a good facial reaction.

It's the way they show off their acting skills without making a scene, and their faces say loud and clear what no oink ever could.

(Image Link)

When humans spot a guinea pig making a spectacularly emotive face they want to put a costume on that cavy and see what they would look like as, say, Sherlock Holmes.

(Image Link)

Since guinea pig society forbids such showy displays of pomposity humans have to settle for Photoshopped pics of guinea pigs dressed as pop culture characters, which is actually an offer we can't refuse.

(Image Link)

Redditor i_love_applebees started a Photoshop battle starring a bald, aghast looking guinea pig and the crowds went wild, applauding the effort that went in to transforming his expression into a work of art.

Guy Makes Sweaters Based On Locations To Wear While Visiting Those Locations

It's a good idea to dress for every occasion, so you're comfortable whether you're going out to dinner with the fam or traveling to far off destinations to do some epic level sightseeing.

But there's one garment that works for virtually every occasion, and comfort is its middle name- the sweater.

You can wear a sweater to dinner, a show and while visiting Stonehenge and you'll be comfy the entire time, which is why sweaters are Sam Barsky's outerwear of choice.

Sam dresses for every occasion by making a sweater with graphics based on the location he's about to visit then heads out, all warm and comfy and ready to pose for some photos.

He shares his creations via his Artistic Knitting of Sam Barsky Facebook page, where you can see a sampling of the over 100 different pictorial sweaters Sam has created, including this refreshingly exotic sweater.

The Quick Spruce Up

Leaving the house without sprucing myself up a bit makes me feel like a foul creature among cleaner and less disgusting looking humans who should avoid contact with me at all costs.

But at least I don't have to throw on some boring old monkey suit before I can be seen in public, imagine what a pain in the neck it must be for those diehard suit and tie guys.

Thanks, cartoonist Jim Benton, for reminding me how stupid I look every time I wear a tie, and how fabulous I look when I wear lipstick!

This Dad Proves It's Hip To Be Square

When people are proud of something they've built they like to share pics of it via social media, so they can show off their creation and have everyone "like" it or leave a comment.

Sometimes that pride is unjustified, and the pics elicit pity from their social media network, but this dad's pride for his just plain perfect cube is justified and utterly adorable.

(Image Link)

Shaun Moriarty's dad Tom wasn't trying to strut his awesome cube all over the internet, he just wanted to share pics of it with his family iMessage group starting with this puzzling pic and "quick quiz":

But Shaun really wanted to share his dad's cubic pride with his social network, and because of his share the story went viral, which thrilled Tom after all:

So what is Tom's square deal? He's a photographer who wants to use the cube to show lens distortion at different focal lengths.

Ghost Shark Filmed Alive In The Ocean For The First Time

They're strange looking relatives of sharks and rays, they're elusive and live 2600 meters or more below the surface, and they have retractable sex organs on their foreheads.

They're Chimaeras, or ghost sharks or pointy-nosed blue ratfish, and they've never been captured on video before 2016, when a remotely operated vehicle deployed by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute caught this swim-by on camera.

(YouTube Link)

Chimaeras are normally thought to inhabit the waters around New Zealand and Australia, but the remote vehicle captured the Chimaera swimming in the Northern Hemisphere, which researchers found interesting.

What you might find interesting are these strange physical traits of the Ghost Sharks, via National Geographic:

Unlike those more well-known sharks, chimaeras don’t have rows of ragged teeth, but instead munch up their prey—mollusks, worms, and other bottom-dwellers—with mineralized tooth plates.

A pattern of open channels on their heads and faces, called lateral line canals, contain sensory cells that sense movement in the water and help the ghost sharks locate lunch.

And perhaps most fascinating, male chimaeras sport retractable sex organs on their foreheads.

Clever Door Sensor Plays The Seinfeld Bass Riff Whenever Someone Enters The Room

(Image Link)

That funky Seinfeld theme song bass riff has been stuck in my head since the 90s, and every time I think about a scene from the show I hear that bass riff playing in my head once again.

Thanks to the efforts of maker Caliixxs that totally 90s synth-bass riff played between scenes on Seinfeld has made the leap out of my head and in to a door sensor- that plays the song whenever someone opens the door.

(YouTube Link)

Caliixxs built it using an infrared sensor, an Arduino unit and the Adafruit Music Maker Shield, but she must have used some TV magic too, because the thing makes real life feel like a ridiculous sitcom.  Anybody handy with electronics wanna build me one?

The Most Ridiculous Dragon Ball Z Cosplay Ever

Dragon Ball Z cosplay has been done to death, so cosplayers who are looking to bring fresh ideas to the world of DBZ cosplay have to either create a new hybrid or come up with something utterly ridiculous.

This cosplayer from Japan chose to go the ridiculous route when he dressed up as a kamehameha wave attack, and in doing so he has completely changed the game for DBZ cosplayers.

Now they can start dressing up like all of their favorite attack types, vehicles, inanimate objects in the background, a flying nimbus, the Dragon Balls themselves...the possibilities are endless!
