Turtle Loves Shoe
In the past, biologists have recorded examples of animals attempting to mate with "biologically inappropriate objects". Konrad Lorenz observed a parakeet who grew frisky with a "small celluloid ball." During the 1950s researchers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center witnessed a hypersexual cat who attempted to mate with a dog, a female rhesus monkey, and an old hen. And here we have a turtle with a shoe fetish:

Co-ed Pig Wrestling
As Mr. Skip Peterson tells us: "This is an annual fund raiser held in Buffalo, Wyoming, for a local gymnastics team. Contestants have one minute to get the greased hog, butt first into the barrel. The coed team must also dip their hands into a bucket of Crisco before the game begins. The winning time this year was 7.45 seconds. Every team had a freash pig and each pig was only allowed to participate one time. Enjoy!"2008 Coed Pig Wrestling Championships from skip peterson on Vimeo.

The Horse Life Preserver
Patent No. 1265580, issued May 1918:This invention relates to life preservers, and more especially it is intended for quick application to a draft horse, pack mule, or other animal which is carrying war supplies and which may possibly be a cavalry horse, so that when a stream or river is reached the animal can swim across with his load and possibly with his driver and the necessity for building a bridge is avoided.

The Sleeping Bear
Artist Eiko Ishizawa has designed a bear sleeping bag, which seems very practical, unless a bear happens upon you and decides it wants to mate with this beautiful stranger.

Cobra Woman
I saw Maria Montez's COBRA WOMAN about a year ago. But I had to buy an all-regions DVD player and order the DVD from England, since it's unavailable here. But the expense was worth it, as I think you'll agree after you watch the trailer.

Feed the Pig
There's something disconcerting about Benjamin Bankes, spokespig for the American Institute of Certified Public Accountant's "feed the pig" campaign. Yeah, I know the pig is supposed to represent a piggy bank. But to me it looks more like something out of a horror film, especially with that gouge in its head. Judge for yourself.The picture below shows Benjamin Bankes on tour in Ligonier, Pennsylvania.

Emergency Camel

But on a related topic, if 80-100 people suddenly show up at your house and you need something to feed them, this recipe for whole stuffed camel could come in useful. The ingredients include an entire lamb, 20 chickens, 110 gallons of water, and, of course, a camel.

Killing, Plucking and Eviscerating Your Chicken
There's nothing weird about butchering a chicken, but I've never seen such a detailed guide to the entire process. Over at BackyardChickens.com, "Frugal Squirrel" shows you what to do. He starts with a live chicken, kills it, plucks it (with an automatic plucking machine), and removes all the innards. What he finally ends up with looks like what you'd buy in the supermarket.
