A Bad Day for Humans
First, invisible sharks, and now, via The Daily What, kung fu bears. As humans, we are so, so, so, so, so totally screwed.

Save | Don’t Save
I don't know how I missed this WWF ad campaign from the summer, but I also don't know how it took so long for someone to think of it.

I’m In Love With This Flying Cat
If you say this picture isn't the best you've seen this year, I'll only believe you if you say it's the 2nd or 3rd best you've seen.
It reminds me of this owl missile.

UPDATE 3/18
Via commenter M (below): The flying cat is a Photoshop job (scroll halfway down). Devastating, really. What a bummer.

I Can Walk Like A Penguin
As far as I'm concerned, there are 2 types of people. Those that know what "I can walk like a penguin" means, and those that don't.
It's from a commercial for the New England Aquarium that aired incessantly when I was younger. Can you walk like a penguin?

Heart and Soul
I promise Unlikely Words is not going to become a Man vs Beast fan site, but, but, but...
"Man has something the beast doesn't have, and that's heart and soul." OK, then. If you don't have time, the orangutan gets jobbed by dumb rules.
Here are some other contests from the series via the Wiki. I wonder if during the elephant one, someone said, "This elephant racing 44 dwarves doesn't even know it's a contest."

Professional eater Takeru Kobayashi lost a hot dog eating contest against a Kodiak bear.
Scott Helvenston, a US Navy SEAL, won a race against a chimpanzee through an obstacle course.
A group of 44 dwarves lost a race against an Asian elephant to see which could pull a commercial jet a certain distance first.
Shawn Crawford, a world-class sprinter, won a 100 meters against a giraffe but lost against a zebra.
A Sumo wrestler lost a tug-of-war against a large, female orangutan.

Hawks in Boston
Another hawk sighting in the city. Along with imagining seeing that giant out on the fire escape and being freaked out that he'd eat me, I'm compelled to blog about hawks in Boston so I can link to one of my first blog posts after starting to blog again in 2004. I was sitting at my desk in Davis Sq when there was a flutter and thump outside the window and a hawk had caught a pigeon in mid-air and then smothered it right on the sidewalk... I went out to check it out, and it flew off thinking I was trying to steal his pigeon. I didn't realize that happened in the city, but it does. And they attack people at Fenway, too.

Leonard Eisenberg vs Edward Tufte
You might look at this visualization of the branches of life and think 'Wow, the protostomes make up a big part of the pie," while I look at it and say, 'Wow, that's an alarmingly large slice of the pie for sharks."
