The Acropolis in the snow.

Nature's Alarm Clock.

Raising adorable orphaned baby rhinos.

The Volonaut airbike, which the company claims is real, and not just a prop being moved around by a rope dangling from a crane which is digitally removed with CGI. The cost of the airbike, if it's real, will be $880,000, when it's ready for sale, if ever.

Big dog who was kept in a small crate for six years is now free to run and and play.

"Oatmeal" the dog lives in the pool.

It takes a village to raise a squirrel.

Did you know that 90% of modern song "writing" is just stealing the main hook of prior hits and giving the actual writers no money or even credit?

Terrified rescue dog comes out of her shell.

Poor dog was kept immobilized on a chain too heavy to move for 13 years. When he was confiscated, he was put on the euthanasia list due to his immobility. But he was rescued and is living his last years with loving people.

That, sir, is a bear.

Border collie has moved up to herding horses.

Nate Bargatze on the responsibility of dog ownership. And the hazards.

Bargatze is interesting because he avoids all profanity and sexual stuff. I think he's popular, though, because he gets into truly edgy material: passive-aggressively fighting with his wife about nothing from the stage.

This is real courage in comedy. Speaking Truth to Wife.

Last weekend, without assistance or ropes or any other equipment*, star climber Alex Honnold climbed the 1667 foot 101 Tapei building. It was streamed live on Netflix, so I guess he got legal permission to do it?

Of course, that's easy-peasy compared to the climb he's most famous for.

* Okay, he had two pieces of equipment: His climbing shoes and a bag of talc to keep his hands dry.

Update: Huh, was this a publicity stunt to sell Taiwanese ramen noodles?
