Is This a Tiny Puppy or a Giant Ball?

Scientists at MIT are struggling with an issue of photographic perspective. At first glance, the image above appears to be of a tiny puppy laying next to a tennis ball.

“But what if it’s actually a normal-sized dog laying next to a giant novelty tennis ball?” asks Dr. Norman Friedlander, an aesthetics researcher. He posed this very question to his colleagues, and what was once dismissed as a cute little puppy photo has become a scientific quandary for the ages.

Local Cat Makes a Living on Couch Cushion Change

After nearly six months of fruitless job searching, an area cat has taken the plunge into every couch she’s ever sat on. What she discovered is enough coin to pay her rent, cable and grocery bills.

“Most people overlook the value hidden right under their asses,” says economic analyst James Chan, who interviewed the cat on her now-trendsetting lifestyle.

Promising New CatMobile Gets 80 Miles Per Gallon

Ford Motor Company unveiled what it’s calling “a revolution in catsportation.”

The 2013 Ford CatMobile promises to achieve 80 MPG (highway) – far and away, the best gas mileage seen in a two-door sedan. The secret sauce is a gas/cat hybrid engine. While cruising normally, the car is powered by the cat that drives it. During uphill climbs, the fuel intake kicks in, giving the vehicle the extra power it needs.

The car is merely a prototype, and Ford admits there are still some kinks to work out (notably, the cardboard chassis does not meet DoT safety guidelines). However, a company spokesperson tells The Fluffington Post that, barring any manufacturing setbacks, it will hit the market in late 2012.
