Because everything cute is Japanese

Yes, that's a cat giving another cat a massage.

There’s no record of anyone dying from an OD of cuteness (yet), but if anyone’s feeling up to the task, there’s Cute Roulette. Joining the plethora of websites featuring the distracting adorableness of the animal kingdom, Cute Roulette brings you and a puppy falling asleep (oh boy can we sympathize), a panda playing soccer (it’s like watching two fat black and white fluffballs roll each other around), and a cat trying to fit into a water bottle (because the internet isn’t complete without a healthy dose of feline).

Not to be confused for that other roulette, which is probably definitely NSFW.

Goodbye productivity, hello adorable hugging cats.

Herald Spillover: Alligators, hedgehogs and bunnies … in dorm rooms?


Chubbs the gator hangs out on the bottom shelf of Derrick Duquette 12.5's TV stand.

If you don’t already know all about  the exotic pets some students keep in their dorm rooms, then clearly you didn’t read Wednesday’s Herald.

While the article has all the hilarious stories from students who’ve kept alligators, hedgehogs and bunnies in their rooms — as well as warnings from ResLife about the health and safety problems that pets can cause — newspapers have limited space, and we couldn’t fit in all the photos we got.

Fortunately, BlogDH has got you covered. After the jump, we have EVEN MORE PET PHOTOS! And some of them are really cute. [Read more →]

Time-waster of the day: December 1, 2010

It’s everybody’s favorite kind of time-waster — one involving outrageously cute baby animals! Zoo Borns brings you the most adorable creatures born in zoos and aquariums around the world. Maybe the cuteness will distract from the grey weather and all the work you should be doing.

There is a COW on Wriston!


Holy cow! — Thea Aguiar / BlogDailyHerald

There is literally a cow on Wriston right now. Why, you ask? To promote Rhody Fresh Milk at the Wriston Farmer’s Market. And, of course, for students to pet and gawk at. She’s beautiful and sweet, and surprisingly not freaked out by all the extremely excited college students petting her and snapping pictures.

Time-waster of the day: May 5, 2010

Exams and papers got you down? What better way to cheer up than with adorable animals?!

Here is a compilation of some of the internet’s most adorable animal moments. You’ve probably already seen them all, but it can’t hurt to relive the cute all over again.

Animal surprise is always cute, so we bring you kittens and pandas!

If eating is your game, baby animals do a ton of that too. Two ebony and ivory teeny bunnies get their snack on, while this hamster devours broccoli.

If incredible laziness is more your bag, here is pathetic panda!

Or if you simply want some honest-to-goodness ridiculous cuteness, check out a compilation video of Knut the polar bear‘s best moments (and ignore the horribly cheesy editing).

Play us out, keyboard cat.

Rooster lays eggs, giving no answers to age-old questions

In a bizarre piece of barnyard news, an Italian rooster has completely re-identified as a female hen, and has begun laying eggs. Gianni the chicken will undergo laboratory tests in Naples, as researches want to know what combination of genes has allowed him to so aptly jump the sexual divide.
