Posted by ohryankelley at 12:02 PM EDTWe're pretty sure anyone that jumps from a perfectly good airplane has to be a little "off".

Topic: Weird Wire™
Posted by ohryankelley at 5:19 PM EDTWeird levitating rocks caught on film. We're puzzled, we're perplexed and we're still trying to wrap our brains around this photo. According to Dinosaurs and Robots, "Floating rocks are an event rarely captured on film. Very little is known about them, other than they float only for a short time, sometimes only minutes, before slowly returning to the ground." Check out a full gallery of levitating rocks at Dinosaurs and Robots. What do you think? Real or digitally enhanced? Let us know your thoughts on this odd phenomenon in the comments section.

Ahoy, mateys! This week's Best Pet comes to us from Gamesviller Bambee_ of Taylor, MI. Meet her parakeet, Captain Morgan!
Posted by ohryankelley at 3:22 PM EDTDistinguishing Personality Traits Bambee_ says, "I have had Captain Morgan since she was a baby, I thought she was a male until she reached maturity and I discovered 'he' was a 'she'. I kept the name Captain Morgan anyway because she seems to like it. Female parakeets are not as vocal as males, so she does not chatter much. However she can mimic sounds like the microwave beeping and does it everyday when I come for lunch. Sometimes she will mimic the sounds of some of the games I play frequently on Gamesville!" Good to know, she doesn't have a mouth like a sailor! Want to share photos of your own favorite pet with the Gamesville community?
