Dogs and Their Dog-Fur-Sweater-Wearing Owners
Photographer Erwan Fichou took a series of photographs of people wearing dog-fur sweaters and coats, made from the fur of their own dogs. One image is below, but check out his site for the full series. (I can't link directly to the series, because he's got his site configured with flash, but click on "Dogwool" once you arrive at his site.)

Johnson Smith Catalog Item #20
I would think that a call to drive squirrels away from your bird feeder would sell a lot better today, now that squirrel meat is not on the dinner menu for most people.
From the 1950 catalog.

Moose Motorboat
Or should that headline be "moose-motor boat"...?

The Mascot
I will never again say that Toy Story was utterly original.
More on the animator.

The Amazing 3
A goofball dancing horse, a sexy bunny, and a self-important guitar-playing duck with a Moe Howard haircut? I almost don't want to know what this anime is all about! Just by itself, this clip is perfection.
But you can learn the whole story here.

Pit Bull Treadmill
If your pit bulls aren't mean enough, some time on this should change that.

Art School
This ad was a trap! If you were able to replicate this insane bird, you received a visit from the men in white coats with butterfly nets, not art teachers.

Horses That Somersault
A brief feature that appeared on the front page of the Washington Post's 'Miscellany Section' (April 21, 1907) caught my attention. I searched for more information about this strange, somersaulting horse, but came up empty.
Google pulls up examples of horses that somersaulted by accident, but none (that I can find) that did it purposefully. See this Daily Mail story from May 2008. So the somersaulting horse from 1907 appears to be unique. And, I'm guessing, probably a hoax of some kind.
