I kind of miss nurse's caps, especially when each school had their own style.

Follow up on the Cheetah story:

A couple commenters posted a link to the full series of photographs. It looks like (brace yourselves) the Daily Mail made the story up and (again, brace) the cheetahs actually ate the baby impala after all. Photos (at least, the pre-death ones) are still cute, though. And The Tawny Scrawny Lion is still an awesome book.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Daily Mail made the story up

D'oh!

Aw, too bad. Not surprising, but too bad.

But then there's this in the commments

Hey red panda look at the numbering of those fotos you linked to: the one getting eaten is an earlier, different impala.

I still see no reason to doubt the photographer's veracity.

I liked the video of the buffalo herd that chased off the cats that were eating the calf after taking the calf away from the alligator. The way the camera panned to one side to show the entire herd staring at the cats, and the cats going, "Oh, is this *your* calf??? We're so sorry, please, our mistake."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I do think it's laughable that they suggest Vanity Fair could have picked Gabby Sidibe for this cover.

I do think it's laughable that they suggest Vanity Fair could have picked Gabby Sidibe for this cover.

I snorted out loud with that suggestion. Not going to happen. Zoe Saldana or Freida Pinto I could see. But even someone like Lea Michelle couldn't have made the cover, she's too tan.
