Gerbil Spits Off Top of Empire State Building
Gerbil Spits Off Top of Empire State Building
We’ve all heard the rumors – if you spit from the top of the Empire State Building, your loogie will gather so much velocity that it will crack the sidewalk.
It’s not true, of course – it’s doubtful your spit will stay together down 102 stories, and if it does, it won’t actually hit the ground, it’ll hit the roof of a lower floor. But that doesn’t stop tourists from trying to hock wet ones off the top every day.
The latest member of the “I was banned from the Empire State Building for spitting off the top” club? A gerbil from upstate named Marty.
Marty and his pal Biff were in town for a bachelor party and stopped off at the ESB to take some photos. After some ribbing and an escalating round of school yard dares, Marty wound up and spit right through the chain-link fence.
Security guards had him back on the elevators in no time with an invitation to kindly never return.
Let this be a cautionary tale.

Puppy Auditions for Next Muppet Movie
Puppy Auditions for Next Muppet Movie
When Disney announced the production of a new Muppet movie, The Muppets… Again!, set for release in 2014, Elle realized this might be her big chance.
The little dog, a lifelong Muppets fan, immediately put together an elaborate audition tape. With the help of friends, a slew of green screen effects, and her wardrobe of authentic costumes, Elle was able to insert herself in numerous classic Muppet scenes.
“Elle was good,” said Spencer Chapman-Long, vice president of communications for The Muppets Studio. “She had all the voices down and the production quality of her audition tape was extremely impressive.”
Chapman-Long declined to say if Elle’s tape was good enough to land her a role in the new movie, however.

Dog and Cat Involved In Hours-Long Standoff
Dog and Cat Involved In Hours-Long Standoff
It started out with a simple game of Hide and Seek, but it ended with a tense, three-hour staring contest in the backyard.
When Sam the dog and Pouncy the cat decided to play Hide and Seek, Sam assumed they’d be playing by Oxford rules. Pouncy, though, has always preferred the Bishop of Queensbury version of the game.
Hours later, when Sam finally found the well-hidden kitty, the two got into an extremely heated argument over who actually won the match.
“It was intense,” said Nora Ziedonis, who witness the entire standoff. “They argued for a bit, but then they just stood in the snow and stared at each other for hours. Neither would blink.”
Eventually, a negotiator was able to call a tie and both players went home unhappy, but ultimately unharmed. No word on if and when a rematch will be scheduled.
