 Hair-Shooting Tarantula Gets Revenge on Owner

Pop quiz: What are urticating hairs? ( polls ) If you answered A without checking out the Wiki page , I’m going to go out on a limb and say that you already read about the man in Leeds, England, who was cleaning his tarantula’s tank when he was shot in the face with urticating hairs early last year. The incident left the man with a red, watery, and light-sensitive eye for months, and now doctors are urging people to wear eye protection when handling their spiders.

 Give Your Style A Sustainable Makeover And Resolve To Be Green In 2010!

Okay, so in the past you may have opted to take your car to the corner Starbucks instead of trekking the required block on-foot. You may have thrown a water bottle or two in the trash when there wasn’t a conveniently-placed recycle bin right next to it. You may have even sprayed a few dozen extra spritzes of aerosol hairspray when that stubborn cowlick just wouldn’t stay put this past New Year’s Eve

 Resolutions for 2010: How to Spend Less on Gifts

Spend Less on Gifts in 2010 (Image courtesy of MarcinMoga) Let’s face it — we can’t all be like Oprah, handing out hundreds of cashmere sweaters, diamond bracelets or spa getaways to our friends. While it would be fun to give extravagantly and not be forced to think about our credit card debt or how we’re going to pay for our child’s college tuition, it’s just not realistic for most of us. And if you’ve resolved to save money in 2010, your gift giving budget can be a good place to do it

 PETA: Next to Break a World Record in Dubai?

At 5′ 4″, I’m often the shortest person in a room, so I’ve frequently resorted to the maxim “good things come in small packages,” but I’ll admit it: Even I’m loving all 828 meters of the Burj Khalifa —which just opened in Dubai. The Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world and is breaking all sorts of world records—the highest occupied floor, the tallest service lift, and the world’s highest observation deck—and, if Emaar Properties agrees to PETA’s proposal it could break one more: world’s longest banner. None of the Burj Khalifa statistics are as astounding as the number of sheep who die every year on the traumatizing and grueling journey from Australia to their slaughter in the Middle East after they are deemed unprofitable to wool farmers.

 Kentucky Fried Cruelty: Coming to a Fire Truck Near You?

What’s brilliant, saves lives, and red all over? A fire truck wrapped in one of these ads: When we heard that KFC was defacing covering fire hydrants throughout Indianapolis with ads for its “fiery” wings, we immediately offered to help the city’s fire departments, which are struggling from economic woes, by applying to advertise our Kentucky Fried Cruelty campaign on their fire trucks. We want citizens of Indianapolis to know that the only thing “fiery” about KFC is the scalding-hot water that millions of chickens are dropped into—often while they’re still conscious
