The All-Animal Edition!!

1. Dog Breaks Free

A beagle makes an, ahem, relief appearance at a minor league baseball game.

2. iPad Cat

This cat is a genius. He should run for president.

3. Cat Roulette!

Instead of getting matched up with a stranger on a webcam as on Chat Roulette, Cat Roulette serves up a random video of a cat every time you hit the “Next Kitteh” button. Maybe you like being adventurous and meeting potentially wackadoo people on Chat Roulette, but me, I like kittens.

4. Whale Kisses Dog

5. Cutest Pets Photo Contest

It’s a shameless plug, I know, but we’re having a cute pets photo contest! The winner gets $500 and will be featured in the magazine. Everyone enter!

1. Depression Cooking

Clara is 94 and will teach you to cook the recipes she grew up on, during the Depression. She’s practical, a great story teller, and she’s got a great manicure — our kind of lady!

2. March Madness!
Whether it’s because it’s the time of year when you lose your husband to ESPN or because it’s the time you get to bust out your old college sweatshirt, you probably already know the Big Dance is upon us. We’ve got tons of ideas for tasty party snacks. Check them out.

3. Sandra Bullock and Jesse James Split
According to People, the recent Oscar-winner packed her bags and left because of James’ infidelity. James offered this apology: “There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me. It’s because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way.” It remains to be seen whether the split is permanent.

4. Chat Roulette Piano Improv
Whether ChatRoulette.com becomes the coolest new craze on these Internets remains to be seen, but this video of a man improvising songs for the people he meets on the site proves it has some fun uses. Originally I wasn’t going post about it since he uses some salty language, but it’s becoming a phenomenon (when I first saw the video on Tuesday, it had 300,000 views; three days later, it’s got about 3 million). If you’re up for some silly (if slightly R-rated) viewing, watch the video on YouTube.
