Sugar Gliders: The New Cute Overdose?

Have we found a new cute overload and successor to the baby hedgehog in sugar gliders?




Native to Australia and parts of Indonesia and New Guinea, sugar gliders are small marsupial possums that measure about five or six inches long. They're nocturnal creatures with spectacular hearing due to their hairless ears (aw!).

But most impressive is that they can "launch
themselves into the air" and "transform into a living kite by spreading out their sails of skin." Using their tails as rudders to control direction, sugar gliders can make glides up to fifty meters, and have even been seen snatching insects in mid-air!

Kid Flips His Lid Over Some Puppets

Is there anything kids aren't afraid of? Clowns? Dentists? That time it looked like Daddy was hurting Mommy even though Mommy was on top of Daddy and telling him not to stop. Well, you can add puppet shows to that list now. The kid in this video is seriously scared out of his sister-hugging mind.

Belly Button Surgery New Innie Thing?

After a pic of underwear model Karolina Kurkova strutting down a Victoria's Secret catwalk minus pants and (swear to G) a BELLYBUTTON surfaced this week, everybody's talking. Did Karolina get belly button surgery? As plastic surgery blogspot Plasmetic points out, "more women are paying attention to their belly button" thanks to fashion trends (below) that force them to. Nice belly bling!
This is mainly a cosmetic surgery done to suit the demands of fashion.

And costs around 4,000 bucks. In the surgaholic community, the procedure is called umbilicoplasty and isn't confined to the ladies. Gentlemen are just as vain. Check out the below dude's before and after pics and watch his navel go from an open buttoned gape to a rakish wink.

Anne Geddes + Celine Dion = The Reason Dozens of Babies Will End Up in Therapy

Australian-born photographer Anne Geddes is famous for her depiction of babies as inanimate objects, fictional creatures and fresh produce. She has built an empire out of imagery that conjures involuntary infants and toddlers -- at the behest of their parents, whom we imagine to already have the name picked out of a psychotherapist for their future adolescent, plagued by memories of cabbage leaves and bright lights -- as figures of fantasy.

And that's messed up.



Then she went and made a multimedia project called Miracle that exclusively featured other people's babies caressed and serenaded by Celine Dion. Moms, secretaries, and Oprahs everywhere gushed with delight thanks to the combination of all newborns, lullabies, and flowers.

Witness the artistic disaster in its infinitely icky glory:



Mmm...suddenly I could really go for a radish-baby sandwich.
