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

What do we need today? More centaur links, that's what!

Lots of pictures of a centaur: The Texas Centaur He's available for parties.

From BoingBoing:

My band has a centaur on rythym guitar -- check out a pic of him on our blog at www.wreckingbalss.com- there's a link to our myspace there. (it's spelled balSS cause it stands for sword and sorcery and there's already another band in Portland called the Balls).

Finally, who can even hear the term "centaur" without hearing Christopher Walken say "We don't hire dirty centaurs"? YouTube video: [link]

edit to fix Walken quote. Because Walken quotes should be reported accurately.

Where is everybody? I think I'll keep on posting centaur links until someone shows up....

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

You know, I can't look at a centaur costume without something in the back of my mind whispering "pantomime horse!"

Moving on from centaurs to... tiny piglets!

IT’S Drinky and Perky! A pint-sized piglet called Perky risks turning into a lager snout — as he tries to hog a beer all to himself.

The five-day-old porker, who weighs less than 2lbs and is just 9ins tall, is the tiniest pig ever born at Pennywell Farm in Buckfastleigh, Devon.

Director Nicky Murray, 40, said: “He’s the smallest and cutest we’ve ever had. The staff here can’t get enough of him.”

Cutest. Pig. Evah!

Art Crawl!!!

Does the Sun have a regular weird animal feature?

It's a good thing that the tiniest piglet doesn't live anywhere near the Ginormous cat. . .
