Awesome tale of a hippo who thinks he's part of the family.

Is Genetic Engineering Ba-a-a-a-a-d?

Some animal rights activists think so. The FDA has just approved a drug that supposed to prevent fatal blood clots in people. Oddly enough, the medicine is derived from the milk of a genetically altered goat—a goat that has been “given a human gene.”

Ouch.

Watch out for the Chimera uprising. It’s bound to be around the corner.

Your candy or your ankle

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

What the dog is thinking on Halloween

Does this bag make me look fat?

Nap time

The one thing I don't like about Southern California in the winter

The crows.

They sit outside my window and torment me. On purpose. They know I'm trying to write. They know they're irritating. They know all the other birds are cuter and nicer and sing better songs.

And still, there they are. Cawing up the skies with incessant chatter.

Dark feathered vermin.

"You can't write. Ha ha. Caaaw. You'll never finish that book. Haaaa ha caaw caaaaaw."

I think the Son of Sam was listening to crows before that dog came along.

Watching me

The alligator in the mirror is watching me.

The reason why I work

It's always something

Anatidaephobia — the fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you.

Woof

The Lion's Tale

Check out this video.

Very sweet. Not scary. Not even a little.

I thought there would be a twist at the end, but no. All nice and safe and cuddly.

Stop Puppy Mills

It's a powerful video, but true. If you love dogs, don't buy them from a pet store. Go to the Humane Society or local animal rescue.

That goes for cats too.

Found in Translation

So funny, especially if you own a cat.
One bad word in the second video. So sorry. But I didn't say it, the cat said it, so...

Watch this one first: Two cats acting like cats.

The Difference Between Cats and Dogs

This is what happens when you ask a cat and a dog to smile for the camera!

On the Lighter Side: Part Four

Bruno was tired of all the "headless horseman" jokes. He'd known all along he was the real brains behind this not-so-dynamic duo.
