Guinea Pig Voted ‘Most Likely to Succeed’ by Classmates
Guinea Pig Voted ‘Most Likely to Succeed’ by Classmates
Waffle the guinea pig was delighted to learn that his peers had voted him “Most Likely to Succeed,” an honor bestowed at this morning’s yearbook committee meeting.
“He doesn’t have the best grades in the school,” says Cynthia Kimmel, Waffle’s classmate and good friend. “But he is really creative and very responsible. Everyone knows he’ll go on to do great things when he graduates.”

Officials: Hamster Duplex Development Is a Go
Officials: Hamster Duplex Development Is a Go
The long-contested hamster duplex project on Fig Street was approved by city officials on Wednesday morning.
“The apartment complex will bring affordable housing to hundreds of area hamsters and the construction will create an estimated 75 jobs,” city councilwoman Carrie Sinclair said at a press conference.
But detractors argue that those jobs are only temporary, and that building low-rent apartments on one of the city’s precious few open spaces could be a blight.
“Why not a hamster park, or a hamster fountain?” asks Colin Bard, who plans to protest the groundbreaking in June. “The only one who benefits from this project is the real estate developer. He’s enjoying a hefty tax break, I might add.”

New Record Player Has Cat Attachment
New Record Player Has Cat Attachment
A new record player from Pioneer has an attachment to play “cat” records. The cat format was briefly popular in the late 1970s, but lost out to the more popular 45 and 78 RPM discs. However, for enthusiasts, there has remained a cult following for cat records due to its superior high fidelity audio.
The format has experienced a renaissance of sorts in the past year, with a handful of indie punk acts in the United Kingdom releasing cat recordings. The biggest issue for cat fans has been finding working cat players. So the announcement from Pioneer that it will begin manufacture on a new record player with a cat attachment is welcome for audiophiles.
