Ouch! Poor Baby

Animals With Casts has everything from a wrinkly mutt with his hind legs supported by a homemade PVC pipe wheelchair, to an elephant with an enormous leg cast, to a turtle with two wheels attached to its shell, to a baby kangaroo with its hind legs wrapped up. But please don't go breaking your pet's leg just to get in the lineup.

Bunni is a super adorable harvest moon/animal crossing flash game thing by Andre Spierings and Daniel Cook (the folks behind fishing girl). (via JiG) Caveat: saving requires registration and is reportedly buggy. Also: Dan Cook's flash game dev blog, he talks about Bunni a bit (and shows 1 screenshot and some random pics) here.

In that dark space between "awwww, how cute!" and "creepy".

you watch, because you can't stop. MLYT Making of. (the cute without the creepy) and, more Evian strangeness for your viewing pleasure. Evian has done this baby thing before, sort of.. and, of course, the "reunion" edition. The H2O Terminator ad. and, finally, a just strange use of "we will rock you".

Seaworld Orlando has some brand new baby otters. You otter know about otters.

Hypothesis: I believe when people are lying, they will mostly show it on their eyes and facial expressions.

Lie to Me is a fairly new US drama series based on the work of Paul Ekman (previously) who studied facial movements and what they reveal about the emotional state of a person (see Malcolm Gladwell's "The Naked Face", also previously, for more background). No doubt inspired by the show, Gisela, a sixth grader at Mesa Grande Elementary School, decided for her science project to see whether she could tell if a person was lying based on their facial expressions. Here is the result: part 1, part 2 (youtube videos). As part of the experiment, she asked people questions and observed their expressions to see if they were lying. The six questions she asked:

Please describe the American flag.
Please describe an elephant.
Please describe a giraffe.
Please describe what you're wearing right now.
Please describe what type of weather we're having right now.
Please describe what your hands look like.

As part of the experiment, Gisela and her brother Victor are filmed lying and telling the truth. Maybe the best video of all is when her father puts her and her brother through making faces drills.

Meet Kingsford the piglet. He runs, he swims, and he's even litter trained! Some interesting facts about pigs: -Pigs rank #4 in animal intelligence behind chimpanzees, dolphins and elephants. -They do not have sweat glands and bathe in water or mud to keep cool. -They learn their names by 2 to 3 weeks of age and respond when called. -They are actually very clean animals. -A pig can run a 7 minute mile.
