I think these hedgehog babies might be a little confused. It seems they think this shoe brush is their mother.
Sure looks that way anyway, doesn’t it?

A Seattle woman recently copped a plea in order to avoid up to 90 days in jail. She’d been charged with registering her dog to vote.
The woman, Jane Balogh, had registered her Australian Shepherd-Terrier mix, Duncan m. McDonald when she put his name on her telephone bill as identification.
She was busted after she sent in an absentee ballot for the dog with a paw print as a signature.
What was she thinking?

Did you hear about the novel way that Hollywood has come up with to deal with their excessive pigeon problem? They’re giving pigeons the contraceptive pill.
At this time there are over 5000 pigeons in the Hollywood area. Campaigners against the pigeons want to give them birth control pills in the form of a drug called OvoControl P in an attempt to cut their numbers in half over the next five years.
The contraceptives are being fed to the pigeons via bird food pellets. In a news story that I saw regarding Hollywood’s pigeon problem it was noted that the birds don’t seem to like to eat these special pellets. Perhaps it has something to do with a local woman who’s known as the Bird Lady who’s been encouraging the birds by leaving large bags of bird feed in different areas.

Bad news, bear.
Knut, the adorable polar-bear cub who has become a Berlin zoo’s most famous resident, is being put on a diet – and that means no more croissants.
“If Knut would live outdoors, his extra weight wouldn’t be so bad,” said a zoo vet. “He would simply build up his fat reserves for the winter.”
But in captivity, Knut won’t need the blubber to stay warm in winter, so he is stuck with his special porridge of milk, meat, cod-liver oil and vitamins.
“Extras like croissants will need to be dropped,” the vet said.
If bears on bad diets isn’t enough for you check out this post that I came across that lists 15 very unfortunate ad placements. Some are quite funny.
