Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy, in case you hadn’t heard. How dare she remove those ticking time bombs from her chest, amiright? Like, hasn’t she learned by now that her body is public domain and we all get to vote on what she does with it? Sheesh, how selfish can ya get.

Alright Japan, now you’re just toying with us. Your relentless onslaught of weirdness and cuteness has us glued to our monitors lest we miss the next awesome thing you create or do. We’re putty in your hands. Now you’ve gone and made a series of photographs of cats dressed up as creative interpretations of sushi toppings, resting comfortably atop giant mounds of sushi rice, secured by enormous strips of nori. This one has pretty much rendered us speechless.
These “Sushi Cats” or “Neko-Sushi” are the work of Japan-based company Tange & Nakimushi Peanuts. Who needs to shower or go to work when there is stuff like this to see?
“According to the History of Sushi Cats video, the cats are a magical and historical creature that have been influencing humans since the beginning of time. Tange & Nakimushi Peanuts has released a mobile game app for iPhone and Android phones featuring the Sushi Cats. They also have an online store that offers photo prints, postcards and more (only available in Japan).”
Neko-Sushi is an extremely unusual life-form consisting of a cat on top of a portion of sushi rice. Although several references have come down to us through history from various researchers and witnesses, their existence is still shrouded in mystery and actual sightings remain rare.
There are several academics who have devoted their lives to the study of these creatures. According to a number of these, Neko-Sushi make use of gaps in space to come to us from an alternate dimension. Beyond these “gaps” lies the world of the Neko-Sushi in which, it is recently understood, lies the true identity of the cats that dwell with us here in the human dimension.
We can’t look away. It’s just too cute… too strange… too awesome.

Today on the show we spoke with marathoner and Runner’s World contributor Amby Burfoot. Burfoot, 66, won the Boston Marathon in 1968 and has run it every five years since. He was there but didn’t ‘t finish because of the attack. He reflected to Terry today about the importance of having people cheer for you while you run:
Oh, it’s so important to have people that you care about cheering for you as you run because people have this notion that running is about having long legs or big lungs or something but it’s really all emotional and all mental and the people who are supporting you be it at the course or knowing that your family and friends are going to be waiting for you at the finish line is a huge part of the drive to get there and be reunited with them and to celebrate what everybody has experienced on the day and the fact that was so violently interrupted yesterday was a real tragedy.
On a related note, Jezebel ran a lovely piece yesterday about “The People Who Watch Marathons” by Erin Gloria Ryan. She writes to the point that Burfoot talks about above: that cheers really do cheer a runner on. That a marathon, with its give-and-take relationship between runner and watcher, brings out the best in everyone — our desire to challenge ourselves as well as our impulse to encourage each other in the process. A recommended read.

Nicky is a blind black rhino who is being hand raised here on the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. We are hoping that he will regain his eyesight in a few months through surgery (and will then be able to see what a strange little friend he has in Webster!).
For more information about Nicky please visit his crowdrise page: http://www.crowdrise.com/babyrhinoproject/fundraiser/lewawildlifeconserva
