Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
Daily Mail made the story up
D'oh!
Thanks, y'all!
the cheetahs actually ate the baby impala after all.
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.
clinging to the happy story
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."
IONot surprising but totally @@N- What is it about VF's New Hollywood 'it' girls that looks so familiar? [link]

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.

Heh. "Ethnic"!! I would think Saldana would be perfect for "diversity"....
It's diverse! They have a redhead and brunettes. Sheesh.
