The Golden Tiger

02/28/11 -- Pretty Cool

“A golden tabby tiger is one with an extremely rare color variation caused by a recessive gene and is currently only found in captive tigers. Like the white tiger, it is a color form and not a separate species. In the case of the golden tiger, this is the wide band gene; while the white tiger is due to the color inhibitor (chinchilla) gene. There are currently believed to be fewer than 30 of these rare tigers in the world, but many more carriers of the gene.  While no official name has been designated for the color, it is sometimes referred to as the strawberry tiger due to the strawberry blonde coloration. The golden tiger’s white coat and gold patches make it stand out from the norm. Their striping is much paler than usual and may fade into spots or large prominent patches. Golden tigers also tend to be larger and, due to the effect of the gene on the hair shaft, have softer fur than their orange relatives.” w/ photos

Mutant Fish?

02/28/11 -- Odd Articles

“A giant mutant fish is believed to be targeting swimmers in an Indian river after developing a taste for human flesh. The goonch, a huge type of catfish, is believed to have been feeding on corpses thrown into the Great Kali after funeral ceremonies. Locals have believed for years that a mysterious monster lurks in the water, but now they think it has moved on from scavenging to attacking swimmers venturing into the river, along the India-Nepal border. The mysterious creature has been investigated by biologist Jeremy Wade for a TV documentary to be shown on Five. He said: ‘The locals have told me of a theory that this monster has grown extra large on a diet of partially burnt corpses. ‘It has perhaps got this taste for flesh by feasting on the remains of funeral pyres. ‘There will be a few freak individuals that grow bigger than the other ones and if you throw in extra food, they will grow even bigger.’ Mr Wade caught a goonch which topped the scales at 161lb and was nearly 6ft long – a world weight for the species. He said: ‘If that got hold of you, there would be no getting away.” w/ photos

Man Realizes He Wasted His Life Listening To Bullshit

02/28/11 -- Hilarious

“During an unexpected moment of clarity, open-minded man Blake Richman was suddenly struck by the grim realization that he’s squandered a significant portion of his life listening to everyone’s bullshit, the 38-year-old told reporters. A visibly stunned and solemn Richman, who until this point regarded his willingness to hear out the opinions of others as a worthwhile quality, estimated that he’s wasted nearly three and a half years of his existence being open to people’s half-formed thoughts, asinine suggestions, and pointless, dumbfuck stories. “Jesus Christ,” said Richman, taking in the overwhelming volume of useless crap he’s actively listened to over the years. “My whole life I’ve made a concerted effort to give people a fair shake and understand different points of view because I felt that everyone had something valuable to offer, but it turns out most of what they had to offer was complete bullshit.” “Seriously,” Richman added, “what have I gained from treating everyone’s opinion with respect? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.” w/ photo
