10/16/11 -- Odd Articles

“Perhaps they had run out of bananas. But this hungry gorilla remained undeterred when he stole his entire family’s supply of carrots. Clearly worried about getting his five-a-day, the animal was photographed grabbing the vegetables and running away from the rest of his clan. He then hid in a corner and proceeded to eat the lot. The hilarious moment at Moscow Zoo was captured by amateur photographer Olga Gladysheva.” w/ photos

10/16/11 -- Deliciousness

“I have a sweet tooth and I rarely find the power to resist a good dessert, but I’m really not the kind of guy who splurges thousands of dollars on a few bites. But as history has taught us, there are people out there willing to do just that, and chef Marc Guibert is catering to their needs with his extravagant chocolate pudding decorated with gold leaf and diamonds, worth over $34,000.
