Child Anthropologist Accepted by Pug Tribe
Child Anthropologist Accepted by Pug Tribe
A young anthropologist named Jackson has been living among a New Jersey tribe of pugs since early 2011 in order to document their complex social interactions.
“It’s really the disguise – an oversized pug face T-shirt – that has endeared him to the family group,” says Dr. Marc Henning, a colleague familiar with Jackson’s research. “They have truly accepted him as one of their own – eating together, sleeping in the same huts. To my knowledge, no one has been able to study this remote group so intimately.”
Jackson is set to publish his first paper in the journal Pug Science this August, but has no intention of returning to civilization.
“He’ll likely remain embedded with the tribe for a few more years,” says Dr. Henning. “The opportunity to collect more data here is too important.”

Cat Wastes Entire Day Watching Netflix
Cat Wastes Entire Day Watching Netflix
Henry, a cat from Winnipeg, Canada, sat up suddenly late Wednesday afternoon after coming to a shocking revelation.
“He spent his whole day watching bird documentaries on Netflix,” says Josh Singleton, a source close to the situation. “His inbox is overflowing, the laundry is half done, and his mom’s pissed that he didn’t call. It’s like he just got sucked in and couldn’t get off the couch.”
Reports from the ground do indicate that Henry has slowly slumped back into a routine. “But a Netflix binge like that is hard to recover from,” says Dr. Shira Steinberg, an expert in time-wasting disorders and procrastination. “It might take him a day or two to get his Mojo back. And yes, Mojo is a medical term.”

Piglet Drops 5 Pounds on Juice Cleanse
Piglet Drops 5 Pounds on Juice Cleanse
Looking ahead to bathing suit weather, local piggie Hamlet tried a number of diets in the hopes of shedding those winter pounds.
“He tried Atkins, South Beach. Nothing worked,” says Jeremy Blinn, who goes to the gym with Hamlet on occasion. “Then he found this fruit juice cleanse thing on the Internet. A week of smoothies and he’s like a new man.”
The piglet lost five pounds in the first two weeks, and plans to continue the cleanse through early April.
“It’s not a permanent lifestyle change,” says Blinn. “But it’s a great way to kickstart a healthy metabolism.”
