Animal news: A wholphin and a tale of survival

Ah science: the first whale-dolphin mix (aka wholphin) born in captivity.

Although false killer whales and Atlantic bottlenose dolphins are different species, they are classified within the same family by scientists."They are not that far apart in terms of taxonomy," said Louis Herman, a leading expert in the study of marine mammals.


And in other news: You're Too Young to Die!

A man who loves his chickens:

Uegene Safken says one of the chickens in his young flock had gotten into a tub of water in the yard last week and appeared to have died. Safken said he first swung the chicken by the feet to revive it. When that failed, he continued swinging and blowing into its beak.

"Then one eye opened. I thought it was an involuntary response," Safken said. The chicken's beak opened a little wider, and Safken started yelling at it: "You're too young to die!"Every time I'd yell at him, he'd chirp," Safken said.


Yes, the chicken survived thanks to some mouth-to-beak.

More Awards

One of my clients, L&I got nominated for a Webby in the insurance category... Ah the exciting world of insurance. We're up against big boys Geico and Progressive so it might be a tough win.

But afterall, it's a honor just to be nominated.


**Update**
One of the awards that's up for grabs is the People's Voice Award. You can go vote for the sites you think are the best. There's a bunch of categories that you can vote in, not just our sexy insurance category. Bruce Willis's web site was nominated in the Celebrity Category. You can go read how he wanted to enlist in the military for Gulf I but was too old. You can also note how all of the pics cut him off at the eyebrows as to avoid le receeding hairline.
