Here’s an interesting bit of trivia for you - did you know that the prairie dog is not actually a dog, but an arachnid? That’s right, it has eight legs, four of which it conceals underneath its thick fur. During the winter, when it leaves its burrow for nuts and fruit, it can often be seen walking around on all eights, snapping at fallen acorns.
This is truly a critter whose cuteness belies its ferocity - especially one of this size.

Notice the happy look on everybody’s face in this picture. You see it? You see how happy they are to be standing there, smiling for the camera? Well, savor it, because ten seconds after this photo was taken, the pig was lying on the ground, the result of a crotch-ful of this woman’s knee.
Let me tell you something I’ve learned from experience, friends, and you’ll be wise to listen: Giant pigs are all hands. You see one wanting to get a photo with you and the little lady, you be on your guard. Get that ham sandwich look in your eye, and let the bastard know that you mean business.

I’m really leery of piracy and copyright/brand infringement - I’ve had a bad taste in my mouth ever since I got burned on that copy of PhotoShop I got on eBay that turned out to be a dud (my first clue should have been the fact that PhotoShop was spelled with a “K”). And so, color me a cynic, but I’m inclined to believe that this is NOT Curious George but some cheap knock-off. Where’s the guy with the yellow hat? Where’s the Jack Johnson music? I call shenanigans on Curious Forge!
(Curious Forge! Isn’t that clever? Just came up with that, just now. Totally.)
Also: Hellllooo ladies!

Ever since the Great Monacle Debacle of 1972, metal fish have had to live their lives in hiding throughout most of North America. Nowhere is this more true than in Washington D.C., which was one of the battle’s central proving grounds.
Today, bands of metal fish wander the alleys, sewers and back streets of our nation’s capitol, smoking clove cigarettes and commiserating about what life used to be like for their kind; back in kinder times, before the days when bringing the head of a metal fish to the local constabulary meant a free chicken and a book of green stamps.
Occasionally, if you are lucky, you will see one of them that is brave enough to step away from the crowd and into the world that was once at least partially theirs. It usually happens at night, allowing them the ability to sneak back into the shadows at the first sight of a Regal Harpoon. They come seldom, they stay only a short time, and then they are gone - which is the story of the metal fish on the whole, as well.

Here kitty kitty …. heeeeeerrrreee kitty kitty …. AAAAUUUGGGGGHHHH! What the heck happened to this thing? Cute little fluffy guy has turned into a monster by anybody’s account!
That said, this kitty does have a rather regal look about him. I attribute it to the tufts of billowy fur around his neck - rather Shakespearean, don’t you think? If this were my comically large kitty, I’d name him Sir Paddington Cadbury III. And I’d make him a litter box out of old Crown Royal bags.

Holy crap. Look at this ant! You can get some perspective on just how big this thing is by comparing it to the girl on the bike off to the lef- …
OMIGOD! GIRL, GET OUT OF THE WAY! What are you doing riding your bike in front of a killer ant! He’s hopped up on that giant sugar-lick of his - get out of the way!

Boy, it’s not often you get to type the words “giant” and “platypus” together. It’s lots of fun. You should totally try it! Maybe just fire up Notepad and type away. No need to deny yourself the entertainment!

I know very little about fishing. In fact, you can sum up my entire body of fishing knowledge in this one sentence: It has something to do with going out on a boat and coming back with fish in your possession.
That said, I’m going to call shenanigans on this lure, if only for reasons of simple physics: namely, any fish large enough to bite down on this thing is not only going to be too large to reel in, it probably poses mortal danger to any humans in its vicinity.

This is either a huge lady, or a little bitty guy and his dog. I’m thinking it’s the former. Very large. Looks like she’s relaxed, too. Laid back, with her mind on her money and her money on her mind.

I really enjoy typing the phrase “giant shrimp,” because it’s inherently contradictory. It’s like saying “tiny behemoth” or “interesting game of golf” - by it’s very nature and definition, simply not possible. But this giant shrimp defies convention right out of the gate, namely by wearing a ten-gallon hat and carrying a firearm! Nobody better screw around with ol’ Deputy Cocktail Sauce here. Because he’s packing. Nice bandana, too.
