Where's Bubbles?

Amidst all the tragedy of Michael Jackson's death, I couldn't help but wonder "Whatever happened to Bubbles the Chimp?"

Pets in Uniform

Oh my. I do believe this is the weirdest website I've seen in awhile. PETS IN UNIFORM! Wow. For the low, low price of $19.99 you can have a photo of your pet wearing a uniform. Or, you can have me do it for free. Granted, my Photoshop skills could use some work, but you can't beat my price.

A Monkey for Mother's Day?

With Mother's Day being a little over a week away (Sunday, May 11th!), perhaps you are in need of some last-minute gift ideas. Might I suggest adopting an animal? The World Wildlife Fund is offering a "green" alternative to a traditional Mother's Day gift: for $50, you can "adopt" an endangered animal for your mother. Choices range from polar bears to monkeys, lizards, dolphins, toucans, or many others. Your mother will receive a plush toy of her animal, as well as a photo and a certificate of adoption and your money will help support endangered animals and their habitats.

A Visitor

Late afternoon on Friday, this guy tried to come into the library. Maybe he wanted a library card?
