BREAKING: Squirrel May Have Been Spotted

The squirrel community is on high alert today after reports that one of their own may have been spotted while on a nut gathering mission in the backyard.

The Fluffington Post has obtained surveillance photos taken by Squirrel Team Alpha, the elite nut procurement intelligence agency within the squirrel nation.

“Team Alpha monitors their agents very closely,” said squirrel expert Professor Keith Hanson from Fordham University. “They watch the squirrels they have in the field to make sure they can pull them out quickly if anything goes wrong.”

Hanson thinks this may have been part of a training exercise, though.

“If they were on true high alert, and these photos actually leaked, I think you’d see a squirrel community on total lock down,” he said. “As it is, I saw at least twelve squirrels in the park on my walk over here.”

Hamster Rests After Successful Art Opening

Keller the hamster celebrated a successful gallery show in New York City yesterday by taking a well deserved nap. The artist had a frantic week leading up to his first big show and slept little, said friends, but all that stress was worth it.

“He sold six paintings and scored two commissions,” said gallery owner Bailey Stanton.

The show also drew rave reviews from art critics at New York Magazine, The New York Times, and The Village Voice. Keller is currently planning a second show later this year in Los Angeles.

Cat and Guinea Pig College Roommates Not Getting Along

Cat and Guinea Pig College Roommates Not Getting Along

A guinea pig named Cam and a cat named Frasier have feuding. The two college roommates have been at each other’s necks since January, when a housing lottery put Cam in Frasier’s room. The cat had previously been alone in his double occupancy room.

“Frasier was really enjoying the bachelor life, living in his oversized single,” said mutual friend Nathaniel Nesbit. “He was really set in his ways and Cam has just gummed up the gears.”

According to Nesbit, the two most often fight about trivial things, like the placement of art, which opera to listen to while studying, or whether to catch up on the This American Life podcast during breakfast or supper.

“It’s funny – they’re actually a lot alike,” said Nesbit. “If they could just get beyond their petty bickering, I bet they’d be good friends.”

Hamster Wins Xbox Tournament

Hamster Wins Xbox Tournament

Microsoft isn’t the only big winner in the world of Xbox this past week. The company announced record revenue on Thursday, in large part fueled by robust sales of its Xbox One and Xbox 360 entertainment consoles.

But the real big winner in Xbox world this week may be Grizz the hamster (gamertag: Hambone37). Grizz won a huge Halo: Spartan Assault tournament, sponsored by Mountain Dew. 

And that’s just the latest achievement in a month full of them. 

“He’s on fire recently,” said Brigit Thomas (gamertag: Sunshine Brigade). “Hambone has been untouchable. It’s really been unprecedented.”

All told, Grizz has won seven tournaments since the start of the year, and taken home winnings totally $47,500 (though much of that is the 2014 Toyota Tundra he won at a tournament in Las Vegas during CES).
