From the Komo News report:
A beaver that seemed to have lost its way got a police escort late Thursday night.
Around 11:30 p.m., the Oregon City Police Department got a call that a beaver was walking across Southeast McLoughlin Boulevard at 14th Street, away from the Willamette River.
The beaver had somehow made it through traffic but seemed a bit disoriented and kept walking toward headlights.
When officers showed up, they tried to use a pole with a noose to catch the beaver, but they quickly figured out that the animal was pretty mellow and had no problem walking with them.
The beaver and officers took a leisurely 40-minute stroll to Abernethy Creek before parting ways.
That is seriously one mellow beaver.
thanks curtis!
Oh, well this just solidified my plans for April 13th.

The entire time while watching this video from Grant Thompson, I was terrified that his hand would accidentally make contact with that 2000ºF solar stream coming from his homemade solar scorcher.
I hope he stores that thing in a cool, safe place, for the sake of his potentially-toasted children.

So, in essence, Kim Jong Un is incredibly unhappy that the UN is attempting to place sanctions against his nuclear and missile testing. He’s posturing to attempt to get them to back down and experts agree that this most likely won’t go anywhere. Unfortunately, with how high tensions are at the borders right now, one mistake could cause a war to explode again between North and South Korea.
Kim Jong Un is being a petulant little man.
I like the part where they try to make a penis face.

I don’t even know why you would fish with any sort of electrical equipment, since you’re surround by water. But in Vietnam? They don’t seem to care.
That noise he makes. It’s priceless.
thanks diskman!
Over 100 chimpanzees kept for government research will be freed into the Chimp Haven sanctuary in Keithville, Louisiana. This marks the first time that such a large number of chimps have ever been retired. Over the next 12-15 months, these animals will be introduced into the “wild” and, for some of them, it will be the first time they have seen anything except for a steel cage in their entire lives.
You can tell by the look of awe in their faces, as well as the wonderment as they look up at the sky and touch ground, that this new life at Chimp Haven for the chimpanzees will be a better one. The grounds sit on 200 acres of Louisiana forest and will provide education and research opportunities.
This new influx of chimpanzees will double the population at the sanctuary, where the animals will be given all the comforts of a natural and wild environment.
FREE ALL THE ANIMALS.
