The Chinese Angel-Cat

This weird cat with wings was spotted in Chonqing, China. Although you might think the angel-cat of Chonqing is unique, there have been other cats with wings in Russia and the United States. Her owner says she wasn’t born like this, her wings started growing when she was one year old. A worker from the Chonqing Museum of Natural History says this kind of oddities are becoming quite common and are the results of pollution in the area. This particular angel cat will be adopted by the Chonqing Museum. via China.org.cn angel-cat angel-cat2 angel-cat3 angel-cat4 angel-cat5

Clown Funeral – Tragically Hilarious

Seemed like a catchy title, but there’s really nothing hilarious about it, just tragic and bizarre. These photos were taken at the Fairview Cemetery, in Springfield, where 79-year-old Norman Thompson, member of the Antioch Shrine Funster Clown Unit, was buried, on May 29. His clown-friends dressed up for the occasion and honored Norman, for the last time. It looks bizarre, I know, but I was reading about this on the web, and found out that this is a tradition for clowns and magicians. Apparently this is the way they show their respect to their fallen colleagues. via Springfield News Sun sns053009funeral1.jpg clown-funeral2 clown-funeral3 clown-funeral4 clown-funeral5 clown-funeral6 clown-funeral7 sns053009funeral2.jpg clown-funeral9 clown-funeral10 clown-funeral11 clown-funeral12
