Stories about adult animals adopting baby animals from another species are well liked by all, so a story about a dog adopting 8 little piglets should go over like gangbusters!
This is Treasure the dog, and she doesn't judge a baby animal by its species, nor will she ever refuse a baby animal in need because she was a stray once herself so she knows what it's like to be an orphan.
When Treasure's owner Wes Trevor, owner of Spectrum Plants Gold Coast in Australia, found the little piglets they were in pretty bad shape, but he fed them special food and began nursing them back to health.
Then Treasure's motherhood instincts kicked in and she started caring for the piglets like they were her own litter of oinking pups, and she even began producing milk for the hungry little oinkers.
It takes a lot of hard work and perseverance to keep a convenience store up, running and "convenient" for customers, but do those customers respect all your hard work? NO.
For some reason they all think of convenience stores as a right rather than a privilege, and "customers" don't consider the employees at all when they trash the place, or pay for a pack of cigarettes with 650 pennies, exclaiming "Hey, it's money, honey!"
As a budding psychiatrist turned convenience store manager Cracked's Jason Iannone also saw some s#%t go down in the bathroom sink, and some people who use the bathrooms as their own mini drug den.
But mostly he saw the bad side of human nature- people acting like pigs and assuming convenience stores are at their disposal, folks treating convenience store stock like trash, and the lottery zombies who scratched the day (and their money) away.
What is a little pig to do when they live in a world full of sausage and pork chop lovin' people who want to see little piggies killed, butchered, cooked and served on a plate?
He must run for his life to escape his horrible fate, and hide in the shadows to avoid being seen by any hungry humans, but in the end he must think of his future and try to make that difficult transition from herd animal to pet.
Pig Me is another great animated short from The Animation Workshop in Denmark, and watching it made me want a rack of ribs and a pet pig...what is wrong with me?!
Air conditioning is a luxury few people in the world can afford, and when you live in a region where having a home with electricity is a luxury air conditioning becomes even more of an impossibility.
But the clever folks from New Delhi's Ant Studio felt it was a shame that people don't know what it's like to live with air conditioning in their homes, so they came up with an electricity free way to cool the home.
They worked together with Deki Electronics to create what they call the Beehive- hundreds of terracotta clay tubes bound together in a circular metal frame which cools the home without any electricity.
Here's how it works:
When soaked, the terracotta tubes absorb the water, and evaporate cool breezes as warm air pushes through them. It’s low maintenance, economical (due to the low cost and high availability of clay), and kind to the environment. “As an architect, I wanted to find a solution that is ecological and artistic, and at the same time evolves traditional craft methods,” Monish Siripurapu, founder of Ant Studio, told Arch Daily.
The X team had dumped DP on a merchant marine's ship as a joke, but after spending a few months at sea DP realized he was born to be a sailor! He loved the smell of that salt air, the mist that slapped him in the face each morning as he stood on the bow smoking his pipe, and the language that came out of his fellow sailors' mouths was pure poetry. The food wasn't that great, since Cooky didn't have a clue how to make a taco or a chimichanga, but the brawls were glorious and that almost made up for the lack of tasty vittles. Then one day the ship's Captain approached Sailorpool asking if he'd like to stay on as a permanent member of the crew, and something in the man's voice reminded Wade of the time he chopped off a guy's head and the head kept screaming, which made him long for the merc life more than ever before...
Set sail for comic adventure with this Maritime Merc t-shirt by OneBluebird Art, it's the yo-ho-inest way to add some dead cool DP flavor to your wardrobe without looking like every other schmuck in a DP tee!

People think that supporting and saving the animals takes too much time, money and hard work for them to make a difference, but the truth is supporting the animals is easy thanks to organizations like the World Wildlife Fund, the ASPCA and the Wildlife Conservation Society. All you have to do is donate to these worthy causes and if they give you a shirt wear it, if they give you a bumper sticker slap it on your car, if they give you a tote bag use it proudly at the grocery store, and if anyone asks about it let them know where they can send their money. The animals you're helping to save with your donations may not be able to thank you in person, but you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you made a difference in the lives of the world's wildlife, and that's the gift that keeps on giving!

As a general rule anyone who smashes a store window is up to no good, and whether they're smashing the window to loot, get even with the owner or simply because they're drunk and/or high it all amounts to bad karma.
And karma has a way of instantly catching up with you, which the guy in this video found out the hard way after wantonly smashing a store window and threatening a guy who questioned him about his brazen vandalism.
Scientists are now well aware of how smart octopuses are, and the more we learn about these intelligent and gentle creatures people once thought of as sea monsters the more we find to respect and admire about them.
They're masterful escape artists, brave warriors willing to battle even the most dangerous predators, and they have been known to use discarded coconut shells as mobile homes.
And if that's not enough to convince you the octopus is an amazing animal maybe their underwater city Octlantis will wow you:
In Jervis Bay, off Eastern Australia, researchers recently spotted 15 gloomy octopuses congregating, communicating, dwelling together, and even evicting each other from dens at a site the scientists named “Octlantis.” The international team of marine biologists, led by professor David Scheel of Alaska Pacific University, filmed these creatures exhibiting complex social behaviors that contradict the received wisdom that these cephalopods are loners. Their study was published in the journal Marine and Freshwater Behavior and Physiology (paywall).
It’s not yet clear what led to the creation of Octlantis or if these sorts of congregations are common.
At least one other gloomy octopus site was found recently, though; it was discovered in 2009, not far away in Jervis Bay, and named Octopolis. At that time it was considered a total anomaly. Researchers believed that the cephalopods gathered there because an unidentifiable human object happened to have formed a central point that the cephalopods surrounded with dens. The unknown artifact was a single object about 30 cm long, heavily encrusted, possibly made of metal. The site has been observed for seven years now, and at any given time, there are somewhere between two and 16 octopuses there.
There are lots of guys out there who walk around with a puffed chest and inflated ego acting like they're the toughest men on Earth, but when they're faced with mortal danger they turn tail and run like chickens.
But when Penn State student Brendon Malovrh heard gunfire and saw his fellow students fleeing in panic he went towards the source of the terror instead of away from it and found student turned sniper Jillian Robbins reloading her rifle.
Jillian stabbed herself in the leg during the struggle, which ended up making Brendon look like even more of a badass when he applied a torniquet to her leg and saved her from bleeding out. Apparently he knew karate and she knew karazy!
Bojack is a horse-man in both the original 90s sitcom Horsin' Around and in the new animated reality show created to showcase his post-fame life, but in real life he's really just a horse-horse who is close friends with a yellow dog named Mr. Peanut Butter and a pink cat princess. The producers of the animated reality show knew this truth might some day be revealed but they didn't really care, because they knew their show would be a hit with all the older toon heads out there...especially if they're as drunk as Bojack while watching the show!
This Horsin' Around t-shirt by Shin Gallon is a truly original way to show love for your favorite truly original animated reality show, and it's sure to make your fellow Bojack fans grin from ear to ear!

David Bowie was a consummate showman, and he was so good at creating rock star personas that he rarely left the house without his Thin White Duke face on.
But when it came to spending time with his then-wife Angie and his baby son Zowie the real David Bowie behind the rock star persona couldn't help but shine through.
Of course, as you can see in these pics taken by photojournalist Ron Burton, Bowie still dressed for his Life On Mars even when he was spending quality time with his family.
But he loved his son Zowie, who now goes by Duncan Jones, so much he even wrote a song for him- Kooks, which appeared on the 1971 album Hunky Dory:
Will you stay in our lovers’ story?” David Bowie asks in a song addressed to his newborn son Zowie. “If you stay you won’t be sorry, ’cause we believe in you.”
“I bought you a pair of shoes, a trumpet you can blow and a book of rules on what to say to people when they pick on you,” sings Bowie. “‘Cause if you stay with us you’re gonna be pretty kooky too.”
The Netflix original series Stranger Things made such a splash it almost singlehandedly made the major TV networks change their mind about the validity and profitability of streaming video, plus it's just a damn good show.
Stranger Things doesn't need to advertise to bring in viewers at this point, and people have been talking about the show non-stop since the season 2 premiere date was announced, but Netflix decided to create some cool promo posters anyway.
And as expected they looked to movie posters from the 80s for inspiration, creating slick looking posters starring Eleven and the gang based on posters from Jaws, A Nightmare On Elm Street, Stand By Me and more.
Stranger Things season 2 premieres on Netflix on October 27th, just in time for Halloween!
Pippin is a miniature stallion with the heart of a Clydesdale, and he doesn't feel like he's any less of a horse than his bigger cousins because his spirit shines bright and he makes a big impression on everyone he meets.
In fact, most people and horses who meet Pippin instantly fall in love with the little guy, and who can blame them- he's a little shaggy little sweetheart with a super chill temperament and the soul of a lover.
Little kids love to make big, bold claims they can't back up, since boasting is a natural part of childhood as they try to figure out who they are and what they're truly capable of doing.
His answers to questions like "what's the most complex thing you know?" (An idea) and "why do we have toes?" (Because we do) are pretty clever for such a young kid, and some of his answers seem like something a philosopher would say, not a preschooler.
Caleb even had great advice on how to impress dinner guests, which is pretty impressive considering the kid isn't even old enough to pour his own bowl of cereal, let alone bake a cake!
It's easy to forget cartoons weren't created just for kids to watch, nor were they meant to tell strictly silly-slapstick-nonsensical stories devoid of serious emotion, but animators have never forgotten about their roots.
And it seems no matter how silly the show animators always make sure to include at least one episode that gives us all the feels.
Remember when SpongeBob's snaily friend Gary ran away from home because SpongeBob forgot to feed him?
The episode was sadly relatable to anyone who has ever had a pet run away, and when SpongeBob sang the "Gary Come Home" song there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
Then there was that episode of Rugrats entitled "Mother's Day" that talked about Chuckie's dead mother- this particularly poignant episode was probably lost on the kiddies but definitely left their parents reaching for a tissue.
And even though Adventure Time has presented us with plenty of emotion-filled episodes the episode "I Remember You" revealed that the Ice King took care of Marceline when she was a kid and thereby made me sob like a little creampuff.
