Tiger and boy (link roundup)

Photo of tiger and boy via these sites. Source unknown.

Update: Thanks to the tipster, here's the tiger, available as a print. That's a major complaint I have about sites like Digg, Reddit, and Found - - users frequently show no respect at all for intellectual property holders and often craft links in such a way that you can't figure out where the images originated.

And a few more links:

1. An officer handcuffed a nurse and put her in a squad car because he was dissatisfied with the speed the hospital was moving to draw a suspected drunk driver's blood. There's video of the incident at the link (which I haven't watched). Via.

2. Funny anecdote about apparent senator to be Paul Kirk.

3. T-Rex with a Tommy Gun.

Not much content, but it's the first time I've seen Steampunk artist extraordinaire Doktor A speak. Via.

And a few more links:

1. A tiger leaped over a 16-foot electrified wall and killed a zoo worker in Vietnam. Via.

2. This is the second time I've seen someone criticizing the quality of super expensive 3A toys.

3. Emerging zombies cake.

I swear this is the last time I'll post one of these parodies

"Lash out and cover up" by Rex Crowle.

Found while I was skimming Twitter for news on the Spector verdict (second degree murder) since the local news program in Los Angeles was instead showing footage of some woman in Germany who fell into a polar bear exhibit



and teasing a sale of Michael Jackson's property.

*Previously: Zoo sign says (and illustrates the concept), "If you sit on the fence you will fall in."
