Whale blows bubble rings—like smoke rings
I know some people who can blow smoke rings, but I don't know if this is the same technique.The whales also play "trade the ball" and one is instructed to do circle spins. These japanese whales are seriously smart. Watch until the end and the whales wave goodbye.
Free room and board, a chance to perform, maybe I have chosen to be the wrong species. But I don't know if I could do the tricks!!

More Weirdness From PETA
You'd think the President of the United States has more important worries than a house fly. Apparently PETA doesn't though. During an interview on Tuesday President Obama swatted and killed a pesky fly. Like most people would do, but not those bug lovin' PETA people. A spoksman for the group said the act shows the President isn't perfect even though his Senate record shows him voting for animal rights often. They are sending a 'humane' catch and release fly trap to the White House. Maybe one Secret Service Agent could be designated fly catcher for the President. Catch the whole story here- http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31422688/ns/us_news-weird_news/

Strange Russian Creature
I have no idea what this is, but I never want to meet one in the water.Kinda looks like a trilobite to me -- but aren't they extinct?
Also kind of looks like a horseshoe crab?
Perhaps those who know what this is could enlighten the rest of us?

Forgotten and Unseen Electronics Part 19
For those of you that decided to do a candle lit dinner and then noticed you can't see anything, you can now get this fork with a light built inside of it. I can't find a site that is selling it so if you want to buy it you'll have to find it yourself.
