STUDY: Most Hamsters Still Have Feature Phones
STUDY: Most Hamsters Still Have Feature Phones
It’s a well-documented fact that hamsters love cell phones, but a new study from the Pew Internet & American Life Project finds that the majority of hamsters are still using feature phones.
The study, released on Wednesday, indicates that only 14% of hamsters have upgraded to smartphones (and of those, Blackberry is surprisingly the most popular variety by a wide margin), while most hamsters still use so-called “dumb phones.”
“Our research indicates that for hamsters, the most important activity is texting,” said lead researcher Fabio Million. According to Million, many hamsters are on a fixed income and spend the majority of their money on an unlimited texting plan and then just go with whatever free phone is being offered by the carrier.
“Hamsters don’t generally go on the web much, so paying for a data plan just doesn’t make sense,” he continued.

Dog Surfing Tournament Kicks Off in Sunny SoCal
Summer may be winding down, but it’s still a great time to catch some waves in Southern California. The 13th annual “Surf’s Up, Pup” tournament is underway in Solana Beach, where canine boaders from around the country compete for waves and glory.
“The first round kicked off this morning, and the competition is already stiff,” says Mike Fletcher, one of the judges this year. “Sparky hung ten on a sick concave, but Rex rode a tube all the way down the beach. It’s gonna be one hell of a year.”

Cat Suffers Through New Kanye West Album
Tigger is a huge hip hop fan, so he was eager to get his paws on Cruel Summer, the latest from rap superstar Kanye West. But sources close to the kitty say he was not impressed.
“I don’t think it’s West’s best work,” says Colin Jones, a source close to the cat. “But Tigger listened all the way through like a champ before passing any judgement.”
