Hamster Millionaire Splurges on New Wheels
A hamster telecommunications mogul Juan Ortega is turning heads with his flashy new car. The wealthy hamster recently sold a large chunk of his personal stock holdings in his company, Hamster Wheel Cellular, which provides 95% of all communications traffic to the hamster world. The sale reportedly added up to $5 million into Ortega’s personal coffers.
No word on how much the hamster spent on his new ride, which undoubtedly includes a number of custom trappings, but the list price for the model Ferrari that he purchased is $29.95 at Toys ‘R Us.

SCIENCE FACT: Giraffes Know the Weather Before Other Animals

“Owing to their extreme height, giraffes actually tend to get a slight heads up – if you’ll pardon my pun – about impending weather events,” said zoologist Wayne Hsieh. "But we’re talking nanoseconds here. It’s really negligible.“
