BREAKING: One-Day-Old Chick Learns to Walk
BREAKING: One-Day-Old Chick Learns to Walk
Janice, a one-day-old baby chick, has just started to figure out how to walk, according to sources on the scene.
“It’s really incredible,” said Skip Tompkins. “I’ve seen this thousands of times over the years, but I’m always amazed. One minute they’re just sort of flopping around, the next they’re up on their wobbly little legs and figuring out how to put one in front of the other.”
Janice is said to be making startling progress and should be strutting around the barnyard by sunset.

Puppies Participate in Stuffed Duck Hunt
Puppies Participate in Stuffed Duck Hunt
Duck hunting, once a proud aspect of dog culture immortalized in the 1984 Nintendo classic Duck Hunt, has come under fire in recent years by certain factions in the canine community. A growing number of dogs say the practice is barbaric and have organized groups to advocate for the rights of water fowl.
One such group, Dogs Against Duck Shoots (DADS) organized a “stuffed duck hunt” today, which they say is both more humane and just as much fun and exercise as a traditional duck hunt.
“It’s basically a big scavenger hunt,” said Selma Hawkins, a spokesperson for DADS. “The dogs run through the woods, they find the stuffed duck plushies and bring them back. It’s a lot of fun, without all the dog-on-duck violence.”

Cat’s Performance Art Misses the Mark
Cat’s Performance Art Misses the Mark
Critics were baffled this past weekend by the performance of a cat named Poppy. The kitty, who is a student at the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU, performed her senior thesis piece, ‘Cat in a Bamboo Forest,’ in Tompkins Square Park all day on Saturday.
“I’m not really sure what she was going for,” said one on-looker of the cat’s performance. “She just sat perfectly still in a stand of bamboo for hours. I didn’t get it.”
Others called the performance “uneven” and “off the mark.” Still, professors indicated that she would likely receive high marks for her effort.
“Performance art is all about putting yourself out there and making a statement,” said one on her thesis committee. “Poppy maybe didn’t make the most clear connection with her audience, but she took a risk, and I admire that.”
