Betta Don’t be a fainting goat

Posted by B-Boy in Betta Don'ts

This type of goat falls over when excited or frightened due to a hereditary gene. Geneticists of the world need to unite and activate this “feature” in domestic animals.

Posted by B-Boy in Betta Do's

book of art

From Gawker:

Why bother visiting the Museum of Modern Art when you can own the entire collection for $20? Jason Polan’s The Every Piece Of Art in The Museum Of Modern Art Book is exactly what it sounds like — 50 pages of tiny sketches depicting everything on public view at MoMA for two weeks in January 2005.

The “deluxe” edition ($100) comes with admission to MoMA, a tour by the author, a free sketch, and a “hotdog or pretzel.”

Betta Don’t swim with jellyfish

Posted by B-Boy in Betta Don'ts

jelly

Jimmy and Emily went to Long Beach (NY) and were walking along the beach when they notice billions of jellyfish washed up along the shore. After waiting hours building up their courage to get in the ocean, they braved the infested waters (thanks to a much needed pee break) realizing that these jellies where the non-stinging kind — if there is a such a thing. Even though no one was harmed on this outing, it was still a traumatizing experience.
