I think Modern Family is one of the funniest shows on tv and watching Ed Bundy slapping chicken and screaming in a high pitched voice just made my day!

Oil Spill Photos
The Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries has some great photos of the response to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. The easiest way I have found them is through their Facebook page.

Zedonk!
A zedonk is half zebra and half donkey. Pippi's mother was a donkey and her daddy was a zebra and she is all cuteness! She was named her Pippi because of her striped legs resembling Pippi Longstocking.

Cracking the Code
Credit card security has a secret code to validate cards. You start with a number then cross out every other one and double it. Then cross out any double digits and add them together. Then add all the numbers that are not crossed out together and if it is divisible (i don't know if that is the right word!) by 10 it is a good number! Seems a little complicated, but is it pretty cool that it works when you try it. MSN Money has a an article on it that includes a worksheet that you can download and fill out.

Mysterious Sightings
Strange sightings slideshow on Google Earth. Some of them are cool, some look a little fake. I was to lazy to actually click through and look at the original.

Monkey Discover
I think it is great that after thousands of years of human habitation they are still discovering new species. You would think that every inch of this earth had been traveled and all flora or fauna has been discovered.

200TH POST!!!
Its been a long and sometimes strange year this last year. I was surprised a couple of weeks ago to see that I was getting close to 200 posts! And some people thought it wouldn't last;) My post are usually random and pretty much the only thing holding them together is their randomness and I know this. Still think this is better than the emails I would send to my friends with the 10 links to whatever I thought was interesting (10 links is a average or maybe an exaggeration). The best thing I have to post today is a picture of my baby from her 1st birthday! Her party was this last Saturday and all I heard all day from my Mom and Gram was they couldn't believe how many people were at the party. I have good friends and Leigh is well loved and Saturday was a great example of that.

Top 50 American Road Side Attractions
I love road side attractions and the picture for the link to the story was the Cadillac Ranch in Texas where we stopped in April on the way home from Santa Fe. I don't really have time to look through the list right now, but if I post about it on my blog maybe I can get back to it someday!
Favorite picture I took at the Cadillac Ranch.

Negatives that were bought 10 years ago in a yard sale for $45 are valued today at $200 million! Some of the negatives have never had prints made from them. They are thought to be some of his early work that was believed to have been lost in a fire.

Saving a Sacred Mountain
The Dongria Kondh tribe in India is fighting to save their sacred mountain in India from a British company Vedanta Resources who wish to mine to mountain for bauxite. The story is similar to the movie Avatar except as far as I know the company is not coming in a ginormous robotish suits. Survival International is helping them try the mountain that is elemental to their survival and way of life.

Heart Attack Waiting to Happen
The Heart Attack Grill in Chandler, AZ is home to the Quadruple Bypass Burger which is four patties, eight slices of cheese and a few other things which may not be quite as unhealthy like onion. You can also wash all this down if you can stomach that much food with Jolt Cola. I think I just threw up a little even writing about it. Also if you are over 350 pounds you eat for free! To me that is kinda like rewarding bad behavior. I can't think of anyone that ways that much and is truly healthy. I am not the healthiest eater, but this is a lot of fat, calories and caffeine. It is kinda sad with the high rates of obesity in the US. I saw the burger on a list on Health.com of the 50 Fattiest Foods in the States. I see these type of lists all the time on a variety of websites. Why don't we have the 50 Healthiest Foods in the State?

Doggie CODIS
Researchers are beginning to compile a database of canine DNA to track and prosecute dog fitting. I think anything that puts a stop to this vicious sport (I wouldn't even call it a sport) is great. I hope this also can be used for more projects and lead to more interest and allow it to continue to grow.
War Dogs with Sunglasses
The blog post is about a veterinary hospital at Lackland Airforce Base in San Antonio, Texas for dogs injured in the field. What is really cool though is the picture of the soldiers with their dogs wearing sunglasses! It doesn't say where the photo is from so I am just linking to the story.
