Local Dog Just Needs a Little Push

Sources confirm to The Fluffington Post that an area dog named Angel is on the playground, where he spends most of his days chilling out, maxing, and acting all cool – perhaps even shooting some b-ball outside of the school.

But on this day, Angel went right for the swings.

“I saw him climb in there. He was very excited about it,” says Lucy Grigsby, who was visiting the park with her young son. “But, maybe he thought his legs would reach the ground? There was no one to give him a little momentum to get started. The poor guy needed a push.”

It’s unclear from reports whether Angel received a push, or whether he just sat in the swing looking forlorn for some time.

We will keep you apprised of this story as it develops.

Coca-Cola Stock Falls on Announcement of Animal-Sized Bottles

Coca-Cola Stock Falls on Announcement of Animal-Sized Bottles

The market is not pleased with Coca-Cola’s (NYSE: KO) announcement that it will devote significant resources into creating a super tiny version of its product. The new Coke product, dubbed “Tiny Coke,” is aimed at the emerging rodent market – hamsters, mice, chinchillas – as well as small mammals, such as hedgehogs.

An early prototype of the new bottle design is seen above with a degu (a small rodent native to Chile).

Coca-Cola claims that small animals represent a potential $5 billion market that is currently completely untapped. Investors, however, have reacted negatively to the announcement, and Coke’s stock is down 15% in after hours trading.

Cat Spends Hours Trying to Decipher DMV Forms

What’s the only thing more frustrating for a cat than not being able to catch the little red laser pointer dot? Trying to apply for a driver’s license in Oregon.

A cat in Aurora, OR reportedly spent over three hours yesterday trying to figure out how to fill out the myriad forms required by the Department of Motor Vehicles just to apply to take the test for a learner’s permit. Her friends think that’s crazy.

“There’s no reason it should be this hard for a cat to get a license to drive a car,” said Tricia Baptiste, a close friend of the kitty. “This is 2013. Why isn’t this stuff online? Why aren’t these forms more user friendly? It’s just terrible.”

Other friends agree.

“She can go outside and hunt birds without a license,” said Gregory Reichard, “but to drive a car she has to fill out 20 pages of forms. In triplicate! Complete insanity.”

According to friends, the cat eventually gave up and chased a piece of string for the rest of the day. Once she wakes up from her nap, she may try to tackle the application again. Or she may just play with the pen. Hard to say, really.
