Here you go in case you are not there. Which you are probably not..cause your on Facebook or stumble or twitter. Look, I am saving you oodles of time. “Viral Stuff You May have not Seen Since you dont Do Google+…” And a few from Facebook…which you probably care about more…. ~Trisha Turtles High-Five Under Water One of these turtles must have done something awesome, since nothing else could have warranted such an enthusiastic high-five. Or maybe they're just congratulating themselves for helping Marlin find Nemo. Whatever the case, around 12 seconds into this YouTube video there's something that looks strikingly similar to the human motion commonly seen following successful keg stands. These turtles aren't the only animals to recently display human-like actions. Recently, Kanzi the fun-loving male bonobo has learned how to cook his own food. There's also Bailey, the buffalo who cruises around his Canada town in a car and likes to hit the dance floor. Back in August, an orangutan at Japan's Tama Zoo got his 15 minutes of fame when a visitor recorded him dipping a towel into a pool, wringing it out, and dabbing his face and upper body to cool off.
Adventures in Depression - StumbleUpon My mom baked the most fantastic cake for my grandfather's 73rd birthday party. The cake was slathered in impossibly thick frosting and topped with an assortment of delightful creatures which my mom crafted out of mini-marshmallows and toothpicks. To a four-year-old child, it was a thing of wonder - half toy, half cake and all glorious possibility. But my mom knew that it was extremely important to keep the cake away from me because she knew that if I was allowed even a tiny amount of sugar, not only would I become intensely hyperactive, but the entire scope of my existence would funnel down to the singular goal of obtaining and ingesting more sugar. My need for sugar would become so massive, that it would collapse in upon itself and create a vacuum into which even more sugar would be drawn until all the world had been stripped of sweetness. I had tasted cake and there was no going back. My mom had prepared the cake early in the day to get the task out of the way. I had to stay focused.
Adventures in Depression - StumbleUpon Some people have a legitimate reason to feel depressed, but not me. I just woke up one day feeling sad and helpless for absolutely no reason. It's disappointing to feel sad for no reason. Sadness can be almost pleasantly indulgent when you have a way to justify it - you can listen to sad music and imagine yourself as the protagonist in a dramatic movie. You can gaze out the window while you're crying and think "This is so sad. But my sadness didn't have a purpose. Essentially, I was being robbed of my right to feel self pity, which is the only redeeming part of sadness. And for a little bit, that was a good enough reason to pity myself. Standing around feeling sorry for myself was momentarily exhilarating, but I grew tired of it quickly. I tried to force myself to not be sad. But trying to use willpower to overcome the apathetic sort of sadness that accompanies depression is like a person with no arms trying to punch themselves until their hands grow back. Which made me more sad.

Crow caught on video snowboarding down roof | Daily Buzz The snow in eastern Canada may have caused a headache for commuters, but some, including one crow in Russia, are having fun with the white stuff. It is unclear exactly what the bird is doing, but it appears to be 'shredding the gnar' using a disc-shaped object that looks like the lid of a jar as a snowboard. The crow slides down one side of the roof while cautiously flapping its wings especially as it picks up speed. Then it picks up the disc in its beak and flies back to the apex of the roof for more fun. In case you are wondering what the people are saying in the video, according to RT the kids are wondering if the bird is teasing them. Crows are often thought to be one of the smartest species of birds. While this crow isn't using its skills to eat and ensure survival, it certainly has found a way to do what a lot of jealous skiers and snowboarders might find jealous.

"She woke up and it was lying on her dock, hanging out and sleeping — just chilling," said Matthew Cleland, district supervisor in western Washington for the USDA's Wildlife Services, and the recipient of a photo of the bizarre intruder. "I thought, 'That's an interesting-looking creature,'" Cleland told OurAmazingPlanet. A quick glance through a book in his office soon revealed it was a ribbon seal, an Arctic species that spends most of its life at sea, swimming the frigid waters off Alaska and Russia. Somehow, the seal turned up on the woman's property, about a mile from the mouth of the Duwamish River, a highly industrialized waterway that cuts through southern Seattle. The sighting was "pretty exciting," said Arctic seal researcher Peter Boveng, leader of the National Marine Mammal Laboratory's Polar Ecosystems Program. "It stirred up a lot of interest," Cleland said.
Toilet training cat was a crappy idea I blame Robert DeNiro. His character in the comedy Meet the Parents is extremely fond of a cat named Jinx that he's trained to use the toilet. What a good idea, I thought – no litter box smell and no kitty litter going to the landfill. How hard could it be? Thousands of pet owners have apparently had the same idea: The New York creator of the toilet-training "CitiKitty" kit has sold more than 25,000 since 2005. So I ordered a training kit for 6-month-old Pepper, expecting to sail through the process in a matter of weeks. Day 1: The LitterKwitter arrives. As per the instructions, I place the new litter-containing surface on the bathroom floor. Day 2: Attributing yesterday's incident to first-day jitters, I move the contraption on to the toilet. Days 3-5: Obviously, my cat is a prodigy. Day 8: So far, so good, although Pepper really likes to send the litter flying. Day 21: I decide to graduate her to the next disc. Day 23: Tell me that's not poop in the sink.

The First Zombie-Proof House - All That Is Interesting - StumbleUpon Somehow, ritual drunk-conversation concerning team captains for the apocalypse has become a major part of the lives of 20-somethings. Having been matured in the Grandaddy-crowned masterpiece film (put “A.M. 180” on and forget that you have a job) 28 Days Later and the best-selling Zombie Survival Guide, we’re all a little too ready to deal with the 2012 zombie apocalypse of our dreams. “The Safe House,” designed by KWK Promes, starts to get eerily close to something I could work with, if say 200 bludgeoned members of the undead army came over to eat their way into borrowing some sugar. “The most essential item for our clients was acquiring the feeling of maximum security,” begins the designers’ website in the summary of the structure. The house, with its movable walls, has only one entrance, which is located on the second floor after crossing a drawbridge.
