We all know that dogs are man’s best friend. But did you know that birds are dog’s best friend? Don’t believe me? Well then prepare to be amazed as you watch Spike the Umbrella Cockatoo feed his two best buddies some Milk-Bones, by fishing them right out of the box and throwing them onto the floor, where the two grateful Great Danes eagerly wait for their treats. I suspect it’s payment for protection from the family cat. (Source: rrry1950) These three partners in crime are just too adorable. I wonder if I can teach a bird to feed me cookies the same way?

Apparently the bacon shortage was hogwash, but that doesn’t make a difference to Ron Swanson — he’s prepared. Very prepared. According to the much-beloved Parks and Recreation character, the best way to prepare for the shortage is to “Procure as much bacon as humanly possible and hide it in as many locations as you can.” SEE MORE: Ron Swanson Does a Reddit AMA How many places is Swanson hiding his bacon? 38. Just in his office. Read more: http://mashable.com/2012/10/12/ron-swanson-bacon-shortage/
When you were a kid, you were probably busy playing tag or hide-and-seek in your backyard after school. Once you were all pooped out, maybe you went inside to have a nice snack of milk and cookies (if your parents were “cool”) or perhaps some fresh veggies. Learning a very specialized skill to perform in the streets with your family was probably nowhere in the realm of your imagination. But this six-year-old girl in India has perfected the craft of tightrope walking in order to perform with her father. It’s hard to imagine the time and dedication that went into learning how to be this awesome at something so difficult. Just watch for yourself: What? Why? Rumble / jamesseadie How in the…? Rumble / jamesseadie This is amazing! I bet climbing that first three-foot-tall tree when you were seven is feeling a little less impressive right now, huh? It’s okay, you’re probably good at other things…you just won’t ever be able to walk a tightrope like this amazing little girl! Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/tightrope-girl/

And there are some days when your little tykes can’t or won’t give you a single moment of peace to yourself. That’s when it’s time to get creative.

Roto-a-Matic is a collaboration between Chicago-based product development specialists Squibbles Ink and designer toy store Rotofugi. Taking on the vintage Mold-a-Rama machine, the new project aims to redesign the molds that make plastic toys in less than one minute. The original Mold-a-Rama machines work by injecting a molten concoction of polyethylene plastic into a mold, hitting it with a blast of air to make the plastic conform to the shape of the mold and then opening up the mold to drop the figure into a bin where customers can retrieve it. The Roto-a-Matic project is making new molds for the machine, asking the artistic community to contribute designs. The first toy is the Helper Dragon designed by sculptor Tim Biskup. Each figure comes with its own Certificate of Authenticity indicating the name of the figure, name of the artist, date of manufacture and color. The Roto-a-Matic is currently operational and available only in one location in Chicago. Check out the machine in action: This article originally published at PSFK here Read more: http://mashable.com/2012/08/08/diy-toy-vending-machine/
There’s a tiny island in Japan that is so full of cuteness, if I saw it in person I wouldn’t be able to handle it. It’s known as Rabbit Island, and that is because it’s literally full of nothing but rabbits. (Surprise!) Rabbit Island, a.k.a., Okunoshima, was used as the secret base for the Japanese Imperial Army’s lethal gas operation during World War Two. You wouldn’t even guess it now, though, because the only reason people know this island is for the bunnies. Lots and lots of bunnies. Over 6,000 tons of poison gas were manufactured on this island during the war, but that dark history has been erased by the bunnies. YouTube At some point, rabbits were introduced to this remote island and they took over. Now, there are HUNDREDS of adorable bunnies living there. YouTube To the delight of tourists, you can visit the island and interact with all of the furry residents. YouTube And judging by the video below, the rabbits really like it when tourists visit to feed and pet them. After all, who doesn’t like to be fed treats and cuddled? Experiencing an adorable rabbit stampede is something I need to do before I die. Source: YouTube Why go to a tropical island paradise when you could go to one of the cutest islands on earth, filled with lovable new friends? Share this, maybe you’ll find someone to take the trip with you. Read more: http://viralnova.com/rabbit-island-japan/
