Tiny Peewee aims for big time

A hamster so small he could fit into a match box could well find his way into the Guinness Book of Records.

The tiny creature - called Peewee - is fully grown and yet measures less than one inch in length, weighs less than one ounce and is no higher than a 50p piece.


Tiny Pee-wee is smaller than a 50p coin, but may join the big time

The tiny rodent's owner, pet shop boss Mandy Bower who breeds hamsters for sale in Keighley, West Yorkshire, says she has never seen anything like him.

"I think he stopped growing at three weeks old, all his brothers and sisters continued growing to around four or six inches, but he just stopped.

"He'll be nine weeks old on Friday and he's from a litter of six."

And Mandy, 36, said he may be small, but he's a little character with a big attitude.

"He's a bit bossy with the others", she added. "Hamsters sleep in a big clump and he sleeps under everybody else, in the warmest spot.

"I'm surprised he hasn't been squashed to be honest with you.

"He's always first to the feeding bowl, he's got a massive appetite and the others have to eat their food around him.

Ms Bower told BBC News Online she had contacted the Guinness Book of Records and they have said there are records for the oldest and the biggest hamster, but none for the smallest.

Now global checks are being made to see if tiny Peewee can join the big boys of world records.

I saw a bunny while I was walking home from camp today, before it started raining all over me (when I was halfway home on my five-minute walk, the skies open up and I was very wet by the time I walked in the door a few minutes later). I stopped and had a brief chat with him. He stopped a few feet from me and sat there while I talked to him, and I said we should both hurry home because it was going to storm, and he hopped away.

This is the cutest thing in the ENTIRE WORLD. A man sings a basketful of puppies to sleep. About 1.5 minutes long.

Orphaned hedgehogs adopt cleaning brush as their mother
Last updated at 14:22pm on 27th August 2007

Four tiny orphaned hedgehogs are snuggling up to the bristles of a cleaning brush - because they think it's their mother.

The four inch long creatures are being hand-reared by staff at the New Forest Otter, Owl and Wildlife Park in Ashurst, Hants.

Workers say Mary, Mungo, Midge and Slappy get comfort from playing with the centre's cleaning brush and enjoy rubbing against it.

Windows Vista at its best. 10.5 minutes of working with Vista's voice recognition software. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyLqUf4cdwc

Also, apparently Vista did not rip off Mac OS X in any way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaIUkwPybtM (3.5 minutes long.)


Unrelatedly, http://www.pocoyo.com/ is the most adorable thing ever. Thank you ganimede for introducing me to this little fellow. (Pop-ups must be allowed for this site.) And he lives on YouTube as well! http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=pocoyoo

Thanks Nathaniel for pointing this out.

Very sweet and inspiring. 3 minutes, 39 seconds long.

Here is a clip of a boy singing as a finalist about his two fathers on national Dutch TV. The Netherlands, of course, was the first country to allow same-sex marriage.

Three baby chinchillas and their big dog friend!

How bad can life possibly be after seeing this?

I once saw a page that was nothing but icons like this one of puppies and kittens licking the screen. If it still exists anywhere and someone knows of it, I'd love a link.

Cutest thing EVER. Teacup Yorkie puppy v. 6.5-pound cat. (They play very nicely together; no damage is done to either of them, for those concerned.)

Peep science

This is hilarious, but if you have a strong emotional attachment to Peeps, perhaps you had better not read it. (They are cute as hell.) It goes into health risks that Peeps may face, as well as their reactions to various basic experiments.

Fraulein Schneider and Herr Schulz (in Cabaret) are SO freaking adorable! He gives her a pineapple as a gift (they're older, in their 60s, I guess) and she just loves it, and he tells her, "If I could, I would fill your entire room with pineapples!" It's just so sweet. (It takes place in 1930s Germany, right before the rise of Hitler...so a pineapple was a big deal.)

They made a Snoopy stamp! It'll be unveiled next week. It was just on the radio. It's a picture of Snoopy as the World War I flying ace on his doghouse. :D B/c of the "Peanuts" 50th anniversary.

I heart Snoopy.
