Check Out The New Six Flags Safari Off Road Adventure!

Varacchi — Sat, 25 May 2013 00:40:18 +0000

I got a chance to be one of the first people to check out the new revamped safari experience at Great Adventure, see some great pix here! Last year a lot of us were disappointed to hear the Safari at Great Adventure was closing, but there were quick rumors that the entire thing was being [...]

Watch These Cats Battling Vacuum Cleaners — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Thu, 23 May 2013 08:00:30 +0000

[onescreen item="5076235"] Cats have many enemies—dogs are the obvious one, but they have several other rivalries as well. Among machines, nothing quite matches the enmity cats have for vacuum cleaners. Internet users know felines’ antipathy for printers, but any cat owner knows how his or her pet reacts when the sound of that monstrous cleaning [...]

Watch These Animals Who Love Playing in Sprinklers — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Tue, 21 May 2013 08:00:47 +0000

[onescreen item="5074995"] Anyone who’s seen their dog try to drink all the water shooting out of a sprinkler knows just how mesmerizing some animals find those machines. We don’t blame them. One of the great joys of being a kid in the summertime is running through sprinklers. And there are so many different ways to [...]

Watch These Dogs Walking and Talking in Their Sleep — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Thu, 16 May 2013 08:00:32 +0000

[onescreen item="5073247"] While we can’t know for sure whether dogs really dream—we’ve asked ours a hundred times, can’t get a clear answer—it’s hard to reach any other conclusion after watching these pooches. There’s the barking, the mumbling and, of course, the lying-on-their-side running which, in at least one case, leads to the dog actually getting [...]

Watch These Animals Poking Their Heads Inside Cars — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Tue, 14 May 2013 08:00:52 +0000

[onescreen item="5071968"] It can be hard to get an accurate idea of just how big, say, a giraffe actually is. Then one sticks its head in through your car window and you have a very, very clear idea. Giraffe heads are HUGE. Like, take-up-the-entire-front-seat huge. As are camel heads. In fact, if you happen to find [...]

Free Beer & Hot Wings – Sleepy Duck Is Sleepy

This is sweet enough to make your teeth hurt.

Have The Cicadas Invaded Your Neighborhood Yet?

Varacchi — Mon, 13 May 2013 10:41:21 +0000

Despite all the news hype, nothing happened yet (at least in my neighborhood). The news cycle has been warning us about a monster cicada season in Jersey and the rest of the northeast, saying this would be the onset of the invasion. I know I’m in the minority here, but I actually enjoy the sound [...]

Bird Gets Really Close to A Baseball Game

Varacchi — Thu, 09 May 2013 00:30:19 +0000

Keep a close eye on the area just in front of home plate, right in the first few seconds of the video. A few years ago Randy Johnson killed a bird that way, but supposedly this one was fine, just minus a few feathers.

Watch These Cats Getting Stuck in Jars — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Wed, 08 May 2013 08:00:16 +0000

[onescreen item="5069256"] Cats love to squeeze into tight spaces: barely open drawers, the gap between the wall and the couch, and, of course, cat-size jars. We must’ve seen about a hundred of these cats-in-jars videos, and it often looks like the cat in question might finally have gone too far. Maybe he just forgot that [...]

Who Said Cats Can't be Trained?

Barbara LaRue — Tue, 07 May 2013 15:38:57 +0000

Furthermore, humans can apparently be well-trained by cats. This man will never be able to eat a meal in peace again.

Watch These Fish Jumping Onto Boats — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Mon, 06 May 2013 08:00:54 +0000

[onescreen item="5068799"] You would think that a fish would prefer to stay in the water. But sometimes a fish will, for whatever reason, decide it’s time to go airborne. And sometimes they land in boats. Probably not the best outcome for the fish, but hey, it’s fun to watch. The Daily Distraction is your Internet break [...]

Watch These Tiny Kittens Wrestling Huge Dogs — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Thu, 02 May 2013 08:00:42 +0000

[onescreen item="5067617"] We’re not sure whom to admire more here—the brave little kittens, or the incredibly patient and gentle dogs. Sure, the kittens probably don’t know enough to be terrified of the giant canines, but still, any creature who could fit inside something else’s mouth probably knows instinctively not to mess with that thing. And [...]

Man Reunites with his Dying Dog who Waited for His Return

Barbara LaRue — Wed, 01 May 2013 14:30:38 +0000

Get your tissue box ready, because this story is extremely touching, and illustrates the loving bond between humans and their companion animals. The reunion between Navy Hospital Corpsman Eric Ralston and his loyal dog, Kermie, was caught on tape last December. Ralston returned home to Colorado after an eight-month tour in Guam to find Kermie [...]

Free Beer & Hot Wings – Is Anything Cuter Than A Slow Loris?

Varacchi — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 10:42:28 +0000

Did you know what a slow loris was before this? Don't you absolutely want one (or all of them) now?

Watch These Dogs Playing With Babies — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 08:00:35 +0000

[onescreen item="5065519"] At first, it’s a little unnerving to see a big ol’ dog playing with a teeny-tiny baby. But it gets better. Much better. These dogs seem perfectly aware that their job is to protect and care for the baby—even play with it, too. It’s a good way to make a new best friend. [...]

Watch These Dog Agility-Course Bloopers — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 08:00:31 +0000

[onescreen item="5064678"] It’s not just our dogs who have trouble on these agility courses, we humans do too. As if we humans didn’t have enough trouble jumping over hurdles, we feel the need to make our poor pooches do all that and more. Sure, they might miss a jump here and there, but they don’t [...]

Watch These Animals Riding Bikes — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 08:00:18 +0000

[onescreen item="5063815"] Learning to ride a bike is a challenge every kid must overcome at some point. But at least that bike was designed for a human being. Imagine if that bike had been designed for a bear, or a dog, or a monkey—how much harder would it be then? Think about that as you [...]

Cast Your Vote for Magoo the Blind Kitty!

Barbara LaRue — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 14:12:41 +0000

Calling all cat lovers! Magoo is a special needs kitty who somehow survived the streets of the mean city for two years. He can only see some very limited light and shadows. His harrowing story of being brought to a shelter after being picked up in Philadelphia, sick and put on death row before being [...]
