Officials at the Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens in Nagoya, Japan claim that a western lowland gorilla named Shibani is attracting female visitors. It’s all in his expressive eyes, and his ability to squinch. He knows what’s up.

This video purports to be from a series of 2003 experiments showing a fish that’s learned to play fetch just like a dog. The whole thing smells a little fishy to us, since the post links to a mysterious company called Phoenix Biogenic.

The young magician Moritz Mueller doesn’t need assistants or props to draw your attention away from his sleight of hand. All he needs to do is flash a smile. If that doesn’t work, Moritz also knows how to rely on good old spit equity.

It’s something most of us have wondered at some point, and thanks to the guys at Golf Digest and The Scene, we don’t have to dig out the power tools to find out for ourselves. It’s pretty cool to see how many different materials they found.

A preppy family having a noon drink on a lake pokes fun at a portly boatsman. But he gets the last laugh when he shows them how easy it is to dock when you’re sober. And a dancer. An alcohol awareness PSA by AV-OG-TIL.

(PG-13 Lyrics) We Did It! ruins the glory of those compilations of people doing awesome stuff by juxtaposing them with a reality check. But the truth is, we need Steve. He’s the floor with which we measure how high we can go.
