Guinea Pig Theme Park Features Giant Clover Patch
GuineaWorld, a new theme park set to open this summer near San Diego, will offer many attractions for thrill-seeking guinea pigs.
While short on roller coasters, the park’s biggest draw is Clovesplosion 2012, an enormous patch of delicious greens where piggies can graze for hours with any standard admission. Park safety rules do require you to be at least 3 inches tall to ride this ride.

Chinchilla Sued for Trademark Infringement
Chinchilla Sued for Trademark Infringement
Mittens, a mild-mannered chinchilla from Philadelphia, has found himself embroiled in a bitter lawsuit over his very name.
“Mittens is quite obviously a feline name,” says Arnold Sawyer, the attorney filing charges on behalf of a cat family with the same moniker. “It even rhymes with kittens. I mean, come on.”
The Mittens kitten family goes back 12 generations, and senior members of the household are not too keen on a chinchilla walking around with their brand.
Opponents of the lawsuit claim the family cannot simply trademark a common word.

But where Sir Thomas really excels is Lego Harry Potter: Year 7, where he currently ranks #3. He’ll have a chance to take the top spot this weekend when he’s set to battle the current top player, MuggleMan1986.

According to local authorities, Samantha the ferret lives inside a beer stein. Why? “It’s cozy,” said one of Samantha’s confidants. "And it’s totally rent controlled.“ Still, many locals are perplexed by the ferret’s choice of abode. Sources tell The Fluffington Post that Samantha is relatively well off and could afford much larger accommodations (like a pitcher or mixing bowl).
