Deleted ‘Jurassic Park’ Scene Reveals Puppy Sub Plot
Newly discovered film from the Steven Spielberg Archives has Jurassic Park fans reeling Friday morning. It appears the director had toyed with the idea of including a Maltese puppy character named Milo, but left his scenes on the cutting room floor.
“The scenes were basically just re-cuts of the original shots, but with an adorable puppy,“ says film historian Ronald Buff. “At the end of the day, I think Spielberg was worried it would feel like pandering.”
There are rumors that the deleted puppy scenes will appear on a director’s cut Blu-ray, due out later this year, but Universal Pictures would neither confirm or deny at press time.

Guinea Pig Builds Own Gaming PC
Guinea Pig Builds Own Gaming PC
Florida guinea pig Max isn’t content to purchase his computers off the shelf or from a website. The tech hobbyist likes to build his towers from scratch using the best parts he can buy and afford. Why?
“Mostly for gaming,” says friend and fellow PC builder Jonathan Tegan. “His current PC is a pretty sweet rig: NVidia graphics, 8 gigs of RAM, quad-core processor. He spent a little money on this one.”
But on average, Max ends up saving about $800 by purchasing individual components online, rather than a retail machine. So what does the piggie play when his rig is up and running?
“Mostly Minesweeper,” says Tegan. “You obviously don’t need a dedicated graphics card for a dumb game like that. But I know Max likes to have power under the hood, just in case.”

Baby Goats Start Roofing Company
Baby Goats Start Roofing Company
Mikey and Chuck, two dairy goats from Colorado, have always been handy, and often did odd jobs for neighbors and friends.
“I told those kids that they’re too talented to be giving their work away for free,” says Ted Cousins, who lives down the road from the goats. “They should go into business.”
And so they did. Gruff Bros. Roofing and Gutters was officially incorporated in March, and the goats have been booked solid ever since.
“They replaced a few shingles for me, and word got around pretty fast that they do quality work,” says Chelsea Stonebridge, a satisfied customer. “Plus, they get paid in hay and sunflower seeds. It’s a great deal.”
