Lion Dog Baffles Biologists

Lion Dog Baffles Biologists

In a breathless press conference this morning, a team of scientists in Borneo announced that they believe they have discovered a previously unknown species of dog.

“As you can see from the photo,” said Dr. Gillian Sturbridge, “the animal exhibits the facial structure of a common yellow lab, but the mane of an African lion.”

According to scientists, this would be an extremely unlikely combination, given that cats and dogs split on the genetic tree tens of millions of years ago.  That’s why what is now being called the “Bornean Lidog” is such an exciting discovery.  

The Fluffington Post will be bring you more on this exciting event as it becomes available.

Consumer Analysts: Bucket of Cats Not As Big As In Past

Consumer Analysts: Bucket of Cats Not As Big As In Past

According to a new report from the American Consumers Bureau, a special interest group protecting the rights of consumers, a bucket of cats is now 15% smaller than it was 10 years ago. 

“It used to be that buying cats by the bucket was the most economical way to purchase felines,” said Todd Borisov, a spokesperson for the ACB.  "But now we’ve found that manufacturers have cut the size of those buckets by up to 15% over the past decade, without any corresponding change in cost.  In fact, in some cases the price has gone up!“

The ACB now recommends adopting cats from your local animal shelter as the most cost-efficient way to acquire kitties.

Dog Is Ecstatic for Return of Pro Football

The NFL season officially kicks off tonight as the defending Superbowl champion New York Giants take on division rival Dallas.  One pup, Cleveland native Murray, is over the moon about tonight’s game.

“He’s actually a Browns fan, and as far as I know doesn’t really care about the Giants or the Cowboys,” said roommate Seth Zafon, “but he’s such a huge football fan that he’s just happy the NFL is back.”

Murray is reportedly a little concerned about the quality of the replacement officials, but mostly just wants to see some gridiron action.
