Offbeat: Turtles not exactly the fastest form of canine transportation

After the Greek debt crisis leaves us all broke and without means to support ourselves, we won’t find the humor in videos of dogs riding turtles. So we might as well take advantage of it now before the world ends. So, without further ado, a dog riding a turtle.

Offbeat: Here’s a photo of big dog Giant George at a fittingly giant size

Giant George is the world’s tallest dog. He’s also freaking awesome. At 43 inches tall, the Great Dane could jump all over you and kick your butt. Guinness World Records made a great choice in giving Giant George the kind of pulpit fit for Yao Ming or Andre the Giant. source

Tech, World: The woman who named Pluto lived to see one last vindication

It has now been satisfactorily proven that the dog was named after the planet, rather than the other way around. So, one is vindicated.
Englishwoman Venetia Phair • Who, as an 11-year-old girl, named the planet Pluto in 1930. She named the planet for the Roman god of the underworld and suggested it to her grandfather, who talked to some people, and then they talked to more people, and eventually, the name stuck. Phair died April 30 at 90. • source

U.S.: 100 days: Love him or hate him, Obama gets stuff done

obamabig0429

1. He pushed through an epic, massive, $787 billion stimulus plan that was successful but managed to divide Democrats and Republicans in congress.

2. He signed 19 executive orders and 12 bills. (That’s a lot for 100 days.)

3. He moved diplomacy in a kinder, friendlier direction, particularly with Cuba, Venezuela and Iran.

4. He moved to stop controversial Bush administration policies, including putting in motion processes for ending the war in Iraq and shutting down Gitmo.

5. He finally got a freaking dog, an instant photo op if there ever was one. And it certainly beats the alternative.
