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
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.”

‘Ridiculously Photogenic Gerbil’ Embraced by Internet
Despite running a rigorous obstacle course, Winston the gerbil hadn’t even broken a sweat when he was photographed by a friend, mid-scamper.
“He looked fantastic,” said Mary Wells, who snapped the pic. “Very poised indeed.”
It didn’t take long for the Internet to get a hold of the image, and Winston quickly became known as the “Ridiculously Photogenic Gerbil” – a riff on the “Ridiculously Photogenic Guy” meme that took the web by storm in April.
Good Morning America has already booked the British rodent/heartthrob for tomorrow’s show.
