Backstreet Boys' #1 Fan: Snowball the Dancing Cockatoo

Talent is a funny thing. You can't define it, can't label it -- but you damn well know it when you see it. I'm not saying Snowball the Dancing Cockatoo is any sort of contender for So You Think You Can Ballroom Dance With a Famous Person? But if there was a reality show about birds who like to dance to the Backstreet Boys, Snowball would dominate.

Giraffe vs. Giraffe! No One Wins!

You are right, helpful subtitle -- they do not show us this on the TV. But learning how, exactly, the mighty giraffe might choose to do battle with another, equally mighty, giraffe is extremely good information to have. Short version: it involves hitting each other with their necks. Long version: ...it involves a lot of hitting each other with their necks? But that doesn't make it any less awesome. Please enjoy.

Awww The Otter

Posted August 22, 2007

We here at TDR don't have a LOT of time on our hands, but what time we do have free is devoted to that most fierce of debates: what animal is the cutest? Some say pugs. Some say small children. Some say prairie dogs. Some say hippos. Some say pugs over and over again (not to name names or anything, Delyle).

But I'm from Northern California, and you know what a NoCal girl loves? Especially a NoCal girl who spent many a formative afternoon at the Monterey Bay Aquarium? That's right, the otter. And once you watch this video, you'll be thinking you grew up among the majestic redwoods yourself. Because this three-week old otter? He floats on his back. He gets his hair done. He PLAYS WITH A RATTLE. Adorable for the win. Sorry, co-workers. Deal with it.
