Crazy Stuff Net Cool Stupid Is… National Parks
A blonde and her husband are lying in bed, unable to fall asleep because a dog has been barking in their neighbor’s backyard for hours.
The blonde jumps out of bed and says, “I’ve had enough of this!” and goes downstairs.
The blonde returns to bed a few minutes later with a smile on her face. So her husband asks, “The neighbor’s dog is still barking. What have you been doing?”
The blonde replies, “I put their dog in OUR backyard. Let’s see how THEY like it!”
Check out this cute video of a dog playing air hockey on an iPad. Coincidentally, the dog’s name is Pixel!
A nice, tired-looking dog wandered into my yard. I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home and was well cared for.
He calmly walked over to greet me. I gave him a few pats on his head. He then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep. An hour later he awoke refreshed, went to the door, and I let him out.
The next day my new furry friend was back, greeted me in my yard, walked inside, lay down on his spot in the hall and slept again for about an hour. This continued off and on for many days.
Curious, I pinned a note to his collar: “I would like to find out who is the owner of this wonderful sweet dog and ask if you are aware that almost every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap.”
The next day he arrived for his nap, with a different note pinned to his collar: “’He lives in a home with six children — two under the age of 3 — and he’s trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?”

Most people know they are supposed to clean the outside of their computer screen every so often. But did you know that you’re supposed to clean the inside too? Not many people realize this, and even fewer know how to do it. So as a public service, click the image below for a complimentary cleaning of the inside of your computer screen.
(Dog lovers will enjoy this.)
Fei Fei’s owner bought him a pair of sunglasses as a joke. But now the fashion-mad mutt refuses to leave his home in central China without his wraparound shades!
“I think he likes all the attention he gets on the street,” said his owner, Bo Lee. “I bought them to protect his eyes, but now if I try to leave the apartment without them, he howls the place down.”
Playing pranks on dogs is half the fun of owning them. There’s the old “peanut butter on the roof of their mouth to make them talk” trick. And who doesn’t love throwing twenty blankets on top of their dog and seeing how long it takes them to escape?
Perhaps the biggest prank of all is dressing up your dog in a silly costume. Half the trick is trying to keep your dog from ripping off its costume before you can snap a photo. Manofest.com has collected 55 photos of dogs in ridiculous costumes.
According to Conan O’Brien on The Tonight Show:
During NBC News’ White House visit on Tuesday’s primetime “Inside the Obama White House” special, President Barack Obama showed anchor Brian Williams what tricks his new puppy Bo could do.
Bo has already learned how to sit up and beg for federal bailout money.
Darby loves belly rubs. Whenever she wants a rub, she’ll simply flip over and wait for an unsuspecting victim. She is rarely disappointed. Except perhaps this time. Who wants to rub a dirty belly?
The origin of the name “hot dog” has been widely debated. Here is what the National Hot Dog & Sausage Council has to say about it:
“References to dachshund sausages and ultimately hot dogs can be traced to German immigrants in the 1800s. German immigrants brought not only the sausage with them in the late 1800s, but also dachshund dogs. The name hot dog probably began as a joke about the Germans’ small, long, thin dogs. Ever the butt of humor and rumor, the moniker that stuck was likely a joke regarding the provenance of the tasty sausage served on a bun cut lengthwise.”
The term “hot dog” first appeared “in college magazines in the 1890s. Students at Yale University began to refer to the wagons selling hot sausages in buns outside their dorms as dog wagons. It didn’t take long for the use of the word dog to become hot dog.” The first confirmed printed reference to hot dogs appeared in an article published in the October 19, 1895, issue of the Yale Record which referred to folks “contentedly munching on hot dogs.”
If this little dog could talk, I bet he would say, “Hot dogs are not real dogs!”
