The Sensibly Armored Warrioress

Women Fighters in Reasonable Armor

I wouldn't necessarily say that all the armor they're wearing necessarily functions ideally, but it is generally better protection than the alternative.  Or at least more modest.

Lining Your Nest

From ABC News and the Associated Press:

A mouse found inside an automatic teller machine . . . had thoroughly torn up two bills and damaged another 14 to line his nest. Employee Millie Taylor says she screamed and slammed the machine's door shut.

The bank replaced all the money that wasn't extensively damaged, and the ATM has continued to work just fine. The mouse also got a reprieve: He was evicted from his nest but set free outside the station.

Tower of Goats

Via BoingBoing:

Jim Leftwich says:

"I'm thinking the next step beyond raising chickens in the backyard is to have your own Goat Tower!

"Currently there are only three Goat Towers in the world (which I think you'll agree is not nearly enough!). The original Goat Tower was built in 1981 by Charles Back at the Fairview Wine and Cheese Estate in Paarl, South Africa. The estate has 750 Saanen goats and some of these are allowed access to the tower."
