WHAT! IS! THAT?

March 7, 2012 By

Welcome back to everybody’s favorite game show! This week we have a real doozie for you.

Tic-toc. Tic-toc. Buzzzzz! Time’s up.

Let’s get a hint from our WHAT! IS! THAT? guest.

“I live in the Philippines and like to be awake in the night. I love insects, but will also eat vertebrates. I have a specially adapted neck so that I can turn it about 180 degrees in each direction. I am awesome and unusual.”


If you said c. a tarsier, you were correct! Join us next time for another exiting round of WHAT! IS! THAT? This week’s program was brought to you by the Wikipeedes!

There’s A Cute For That

Always longed to see a ferret spread out flat?


Urgently need an extra box for a cat?


Do you adore squirrels who look like Scrat?


Are you ready to party with a pup in a pointy pink hat?


Interested in headlines about a famous Democrat?


Could you use a little help at the laundromat?


Do you want to believe bunnies are fluffy and not fat?

Today is International Polar Bear Day

February 27, 2012 By

From Pole to Pole, Feb. 27 is the day to celebrate the great white bear.


So be sure to greet every polar bear you meet today with a big high five, OK? And did you know, according to many well-informed myths, all polar bears are left-handed. Other sources are convinced they are right. So pay attention to the paw and help resolve this important debate. After all, we know you care how many are left.
