It’s 6 seconds. It requires sound. Then, answer me this: How many times do you have to watch it before it stops making you laugh out loud?

For me, it’s somewhere north of 498. I’ll let you know when I find out.

I am the pig. The pig is me. The puppy is my alarm. I’m having none of it.

I’ll take you all on. Down you come to by wrath.

Sometimes you need to take a step back from your hectic life and take pleasure in the simple things in life.

Like slides. Slides are awesome. It’s evolutionarily conserved.

It’s cute and, because it’s Monday, it inspires envy from me. I’d rather be “snoring like a field mouse” than “bloodshot-eyed in front of my stereoscope”

You’re going to want the sound on for this one

 

Before I joined my lab, they used to have a tradition called TGI Friday cake. When they wanted to bring it back, I proposed it should actually be Consolation Monday cake.

One of the reasons is a purely selfish one, in that I am far more likely to have the time to bake cake over the weekend. The second is that I never understood extra celebrations for Friday. We already love Fridays, Friday is awesome all on its own. Mondays are the ones that suck balls. Isn’t it better to bring a little extra sweetness and joy to a day which is a drag, to brighten it up a bit?

In that spirit, I’m introducing cute/fun/funny animal videos to brighten up your Mondays a little bit.

I’m sure you’ve all seen shower rat by now, as it has taken the internet by storm. The problem is, that rat is not a rat, and its not enjoying its shower at all, so all in all that video is actually something of a bummer. Instead, I’d like to share a video of rats which are actually enjoying themselves. Meet spaghetti rat

 

Who probably tuckered himself out for being so smart and doing all his awesome little rat tricks

 

Rats get a lot of shit, but they are fantastic little creatures
