Dogs are full of natural goodness and have rich emotional lives, said animal behaviorist Marc Bekoff, professor emeritus at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

Doofus Of The Day #195
Today’s Doofus is from Russia – and boy, is he a Doofus, or what? A Russian man survived after downing three bottles of vodka and leaping from a fifth-floor balcony – twice.

A symbol both Gallic and phallic!
I’m somewhat bemused to read of a woman who’s “had a commitment ceremony performed” – not with a human partner, but with the Eiffel Tower! Perhaps unsurprisingly, she’s from the West Coast.

Flushed with (marital) success?
The Times of England reports on a novel incentive in India to install indoor plumbing. Courtship can be an intricate business in India, but the mothers of the northern state of Haryana have a simple message for men who call on their daughters: “No toilet, no bride.” The slogan – often lengthened in Hindi to… Continue reading Flushed with (marital) success?
Of sex, shenanigans and sorrow
I don’t know why these things come in clumps, but tonight, in preparing my blog posts, I’ve found a whole slew of reports about the seamier side of our sexual nature. Some have been sobering, but they’ve also been funny. First, German brothels are complaining about the effect of the economy on their business. Times… Continue reading Of sex, shenanigans and sorrow
