DC Firefighters Pluck Baby Ducks from Storm Drain

Thank you, Cute Overload!

So I turned in my grades (yay!) and can now share my favorite picture story of the semester. Just amazing.

The multiple-Agent-Smith fight scene from “The Matrix,” cast with infantile canines, aka, puppies! See for yourself at Cute Overload.

Yes, I do take requests, whenever possible. And I'll be honest — this song scared the ess out of me. This recording is the second time I'd played it start-to-finish. The only edits I made on the recording was to take out the empty air before I started the song and after it was over.

In other notes, I recorded it last Friday and it nearly killed me to hold off on posting it until today. Dying to know what y'all think. Mwah! Happy Summer!

Dear Mrs Johnson,

Thank you for sending us the details of your recent record attempt for 'Longest-running blog'. We are afraid to say that we are unable to accept this as a Guinness World Record.

We receive over 60,000 enquiries a year from which only a small proportion are approved by our experienced researchers to establish new categories. These are not 'made up' to suit an individual proposal, but rather 'evolve' as a result of international competition in a field, which naturally accommodates superlatives of the sort that we are interested in. We think you will appreciate that we are bound to favour those that reflect the greatest interest.

Guinness World Records has absolute discretion as to which Guinness World Record applications are accepted and our decision is final. Guinness World Records may at its discretion and for whatever reason identify some records as either no longer monitored by Guinness World Records or no longer viable.

As your record application has not been accepted, Guinness World Records is in no way associated with the activity relating to your record proposal and we in no way endorse this activity. If you choose to proceed with this activity then this is will be of your own volition and at your own risk.

Once again thank you for your interest in Guinness World Records.

Yours sincerely,

Lucia Sinigagliesi

The domain name I made up and somebody bought from me is called CoolOrTool.com. I thought up the name while watching an episode of “Little People, Big World,” because I can never decide whether Matt Roloff is cool or a tool. Thanks, Anand, for the thousand bucks I'll be receiving in the mail from escrow.com, and best of luck with your new domain name; I hope it makes you a lot more money than a thousand bucks!!!

In the meanwhile, I know that my clever little brain is worth at least a cool grand. And that's, well, cool!

Now that I know a little more about Garage Band, I've re-encoded the first New Music Wednesday tune to mp3, for your listening and iPod enjoyment. Bon appetit!
