Spring Hare


Spring hares are found locally in the semi-arid steppes and dry savannas of Kenya and Tanzania, as well as in southwestern Africa.The peculiar springhare, which appears to be a cross between a kangaroo and a rabbit, has caused scientists much confusion. It was once grouped with jerboas (jumping rodents), then with porcupines, then with scaly-tailed squirrels, until finally it was allotted its own family. The springhare’s large back legs enable it to make gigantic leaps of 20 to 30 feet, using its long tail for balance.

Chicken Coated Peanuts

If you look carefully at the bottom of the can, it reads, "Peanuts Chicken Flavor Coated".




So, I guess if you can't make up your mind between eating chicken or eating peanuts, you can have both in one crunchy delight.

Drunken Squirrel

After having the beer

Kids say the darnest things

FIRST TIME USHERS! :
A LITTLE BOY IN CHURCH FOR THE FIRST TIME WATCHED AS THE USHERS PASSED AROUND THE OFFERING PLATES.
WHEN THEY CAME NEAR HIS PEW, THE BOY SAID LOUDLY, "DON'T PAY FOR ME DADDY. I'M UNDER FIVE."

PRAYERS:
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER ASKED, "NOW, JOHNNY, TELL ME, DO YOU SAY PRAYERS BEFORE EATING?" "NO SIR," HE REPLIED, "WE DON'T HAVE TO, MY MOM IS A GOOD COOK!"

CLIMB THE WALLS:
"OH, I SURE AM HAPPY TO SEE YOU," THE LITTLE BOY SAID TO HIS GRANDMOTHER ON HIS MOTHER'S SIDE. "NOW MAYBE DADDY WILL DO THE TRICK HE HAS BEEN PROMISING US."
THE GRANDMOTHER WAS CURIOUS. "WHAT TRICK IS THAT?" SHE ASKED.
"I HEARD HIM TELL MOMMY THAT HE WOULD CLIMB THE WALLS IF YOU CAME TO VISIT," THE LITTLE BOY ANSWERED.

THE MOOD RING:
MY HUSBAND BOUGHT ME A MOOD RING THE OTHER DAY. WHEN I'M IN A GOOD MOOD IT TURNS GREEN. WHEN I'M IN A BAD MOOD, IT LEAVES A RED MARK ON HIS FOREHEAD.

THE WATER PISTOL:
WHEN MY THREE-YEAR-OLD SON OPENED THE BIRTHDAY GIFT FROM HIS GRANDMOTHER, HE DISCOVERED A WATER PISTOL... HE SQUEALED WITH DELIGHT AND HEADED FOR THE NEAREST SINK.
I WAS NOT SO PLEASED. I TURNED TO MOM AND SAID, "I'M SURPRISED AT YOU. DON'T YOU REMEMBER HOW WE USED TO DRIVE YOU CRAZY WITH WATER GUNS?"
MOM SMILED AND THEN REPLIED..... "I REMEMBER!!"

GRANDMA'S AGE:
LITTLE JOHNNY ASKED HIS GRANDMA! HOW OLD SHE WAS.
GRANDMA ANSWERED, "39 AND HOLDING."
JOHNNY THOUGHT FOR A MOMENT, AND THEN SAID, "AND HOW OLD WOULD YOU BE IF YOU LET GO?"

Little Charlie watched, fascinated, as his mother smoothed cold cream on her face
"Why do you do that, mommy?" he asked.
"To make myself beautiful," said his mother, who then began removing the cream with a tissue.
"What's the matter?" asked Little Charlie. "Giving up?"

Have you seen my Kringle

5/15/2007
(KTHV) -- Dachshund puppies can cost as much as $200, but last Saturday, a couple got a good deal when they bought one for 15 bucks at a yard sale. The problem is the dog didn't belong to the man who sold it.

"I know he misses his toys," says the dog's owner Ann Loveless. Loveless is like many pet owners, she treats her dachshund "Kringle" more like a child than a pet.
Loveless explains, "When I took a shower, he took a shower. When I go to bed, he goes to bed. When I get up, he gets up. He's more than just a dog. He is my companion and I love him."

So, last Saturday when Kringle got out of his harness and into the streets, Ann panicked. Loveless says, "I started just driving around the neighborhood."
Ann saw a yard sale at a home a block away and asked if anyone there had seen her dog. "And he said, 'Yes, we saw your dog but we have no idea where he is'," Loveless says. Loveless didn't believe the man. That's when police got involved.

Officer Todd Winesburg says, "And we went down and talked to the people. They told us they had seen the dog, that it had run into the yard and out into the street and almost got hit by a car and that was the last time they saw it and they let us into the house to see if the dog was there and it was not."

A day later, the man running the yard sale called Loveless and left this message. "This is John Johns. ... I need to tell you what happened to your dog."
Loveless says, "And he said that he wanted to confess that he had sold Kringle in a yard sale." Johns wasn't home Monday, but his wife Debra explains how it went down, "We put him in the backyard and he was nipping through the fence at our neighbor's dog and my husband didn't like that and by the time I got out of the shower, he had sold the dog and gave the dog to this lady." Debra Johns says both she and her husband feel terrible about what's happened. Debra explains, "I said John what you did was wrong, ethically wrong."

Loveless says, "[John] said 'I want to make restitution.' I said, 'You can't make restitution. You don't have enough money to make restitution to me.'"

Police say Loveless could press charges but instead she just wants her dog back.

Loveless says, "I just want whoever has him. I'm not gonna ask any questions. I just want them to bring him home, please."

The Johns say they're helping put up flyers and traveling around to other yard sales to see if they spot the person they sold the dog to. Loveless and the couple are also offering a $200 reward for Kringle's safe return.

If you know where Kringle might be you can call Ann Loveless at (479) 970-2022.

Granny Grows Horn

A Chinese grandmother has a five inch horn growing out of her forehead.

The horn curves downward and looks like the stalk of a pumpkin, reports the Yangcheng Evening Post.

Granny Zhao, 95, of Zhanjiang city, Guangdong province, says it first appeared three years ago.
"At first, it was only a mole, but it gradually grew and became like a horn," she said.

Zhao says the horn causes her little trouble except to affect her vision slightly: "It causes me no discomfort, but blocks part of my view."

But her family is hoping that medical experts can explain the phenomenon.
