Cats are naturally curious animals, and will naturally view any closed door as a challenge. For added security, place a pan of water in front of the…
… oh, never mind.

That is one sentence I never thought I’d type.

I look at you all see the love there that’s sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps

The River of Five Colors
Known by many as “the river that ran away from paradise” and the most beautiful river in the world, Colombia’s Caño Cristales or The River of Five Colors is a veritable biological wonder.
This Derpy Little Bat Guy is enjoying his Nanner Noms. Who can blame him? Will you LOOK AT THAT SLOPPY GRIN.

“We had two more twin lambs (Reuben and Summer) born at the Farm Sanctuary New York Shelter on Monday,” says Meredith T.

“These babies are in addition to Hazelton, who was born last week— both to mothers who were pregnant at the time we rescued them.”

“As we start of the Year of the Sheep, this is how the first moments of life should be for ALL lambs.”

“Here at Farm Sanctuary, mama and babies will live out their lives together.”

“Um, excusing of me, but have any life forms located a small metal briefcase? Slate grey, black handle, glowing a little bit and making a humming noise, with tentacles? It’s really important that I get that back.”

“This guy is oddly cute,” notes Redditor jamieinthenorthwest.
NO! No, absolutely, definitely, certainly not! That is an absolute falsehood! I deny it with the last breath in my body! No! I did not! NO, I say!
Well, OK, a bit. Your dock icons look like bananas now. But that’s all.

The ears, the Side-Eye, just too much. S.T. is obviously not stuck in Boston, either. Pal, you just got yourself your own tag.
Last night, we saw Gotcha the Moluccan Cockatoo waking up everyone in the house. Today, Gotcha returns to let you know he has…gotcha.
Paul & Barb sent this in. “Sigh. Now we want a cockatoo also. To go with the goat, pig, horse, dog(s) and more cat(s) we need to acquire from years of bathing in Cute Overload. Love this website. Love Love Love. Always makes us smile.”
We’re gonna put in a plug for YEAR OF THE GOAT. If that’s OK.

It was YESTERDAY. (Also known as Nyan Nyan Nyan Day.) Totally missed the mark with this one. (Looking at YOU, Andrew Y.) A thousand apologies. Anyway, how about these? [*Note: Duh, you did this last year. Check the records much? -Ed.]
Cat shaped eclairs. I love me some eclair action, I do indeed. But no way could I eat these.

Fibonacci you crazy bastard….
As seen in the solar system (by no ridiculous coincidence), Earth orbits the Sun 8 times in the same period that Venus orbits the Sun 13 times! Drawing a line between Earth & Venus every week results in a spectacular FIVE side symmetry!!
Lets bring up those Fibonacci numbers again: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34..
So if we imagine planets with Fibonacci orbits, do they create Fibonacci symmetries?!
You bet!! Depicted here is a:
- 2 sided symmetry (5 orbits x 3 orbits)
- 3 sided symmetry (8 orbits x 5 orbits)
- 5 sided symmetry (13 orbits x 8 orbits) - like Earth & Venus
- 8 sided symmetry (21 orbits x 13 orbits)
I wonder if relationships like this exist somewhere in the universe….

What looks like a traditional statue of Buddha dating back to the 11th or 12th century was recently revealed to be quite a bit more. A CT scan and endoscopy carried out by the Netherlands-based Drents Museum at the Meander Medical Centre in Amersfoort, showed the ancient reliquary fully encases the mummified remains of a Buddhist master known as Liuquan of the Chinese Meditation School. While it was known beforehand the remains of a person were inside, another startling discovery was made during the scan: where the organs had been removed prior to mummification, researches discovered rolls of paper scraps covered in Chinese writing.
The Liuquan mummy has since been transported to Hungary where it will be on view at the Hungarian Natural History Museum through May of 2015. (via Robs Webstek, Neatorama, Creators Project)
Update: Among some practicing Buddhists it’s been said that similar mummies “aren’t dead” but are instead in an advanced state of meditation. (thnx, Alan!)
