Oh Noes! Fakey Friday

Oh Noes!

I just love the way some people think. She has collected pebbles with an eye for letters and numbers and their freeform organic shapes show us how beautiful our alphabet and numeral shapes can be.

Famous Movie Bugs :)

Famous bugs: Some of the most charming characters in movies and books are insects
By Lisa Davis, McClatchy Newspapers
OK, OK, the robots are super-cool, but there is an overlooked star of the movie ``WALL-E,'' a character who is loyal, brave and charming.

It's the cockroach.
WALL-E's pet roach, his only companion on a wasted Earth, lives in a Twinkie, loves to give tickles, survives innumerable squishings and waits patiently for WALL-E to return from outer space. Who knew a cockroach could be so cute?

It put us in mind of some other lovable bugs in pop culture. If you don't think insects can be lovable, well, grasshopper, you have much to learn.
Have some fun exploring these fictional bugs _ and real-life ones, too!

The Sumatran Tiger

This beautiful picture from the BBC is of "an activist from the WWF, the global environment campaign, does an impression of a Sumatran tiger to raise awareness for the most endangered species of tiger - fewer than 400 remain in the wild."

Sir Nils Olav, The Black And White Knight

LONDON - Elton John, Paul McCartney and Sony boss Howard Stringer have all got one. Now it's the turn of a three-foot high King Penguin.

Six-year-old Nils Olav was granted a knighthood and the title of "Sir" on Friday, on behalf of Norway's King Harald V. Loudon. The title was bestowed by a British major general. Nils took the ceremony, which included having a sword dubbed on each side of his head, and listening to a marching band in front of a crowd of 500-odd spectators, "in his stride," a spokeswoman for Edinburgh Zoo, where he is based, told Forbes.com. "He really enjoyed it. He knows he is special."

Sir Nils Olav, as he will now be known officially, is the third penguin named Nils Olav to be an honorary member and mascot of the Norwegian King's Guard. (Each was replaced when his predecessor died.) The first was adopted by a guard in 1972 and over the years Nils Olav had been promoted to the rank of "Colonel in Chief."
