Pic of the day: The largest dog in the world

Meet George, a Great Dane, and the largest dog on the planet:

He's 7 feet nose to tip of tail, and weighs about 250 pounds. Via the UK Daily Mail. A YouTube video of George:

Exit question: how does one pick up after an animal that large?

Pic of the day: Naked female scientist swims with belugas in the freezing 30oF Arctic

Is this extreme environmentalism?:

From the UK Daily Mail:

Braving sub-zero temperatures, she has thrown caution — and her clothes — to the wind to tame two beluga whales in a unique and controversial experiment.

Natalia Avseenko, 36, was persuaded to strip naked as marine experts believe belugas do not like to be touched by artificial materials such as diving suits.

The skilled Russian diver took the plunge as the water temperature hit minus 1.5 degrees Centigrade.

It's a good thing they put a woman in that freezing water. Men don't react quite as well:

Result of DUMB decision: SMART bus driver, dispatcher suspended for denying ride to breast-feeding mom

I guess this really worked: Video Report: MI breastfeeding moms stage protest in response to mom being kicked off bus

From The Detroit Free Press, the consequences of an ironically dumb decision: SMART bus driver, dispatcher suspended for denying ride to breast-feeding mom

The SMART bus driver who told a Taylor mom she couldn’t breastfeed on a bus in late June was suspended for five days without pay, and her dispatcher was suspended for three, company officials said today.

The two employees were punished for not following company policy and for using profanity after Afrykayn Moon, 32, said the driver tried to keep her from boarding the bus while her then two-week-old son was nursing.

She said the driver refused to drive the bus until the child was done breastfeeding, and had security guards try to remove her.

You know, those two bumps do have a real purpose other than looking good.

Video Report: MI breastfeeding moms stage protest in response to mom being kicked off bus

Let me cut to the chase: anyone offended by public breastfeeding is a boob. They are there for a reason. Primarily to feed a baby (secondarily to keep a hubby happy).WXYZ Detroit reports:

UPDATE: Breast milk sprayer fired from teaching job

The woman who sprayed Delaware County sheriff's deputies with breast milk while resisting arrest last weekend has been fired from her teaching job, according to documents obtained by The Dispatch today after a public-records request.

So let me get this straight: the Wisconsin teacher that threatened Governor Scott Walker and his family with death is still on the loose and teaching (The 'New Civility' (Cont'd): WI Teacher Charged With Sending Death Threats to GOP Lawmakers), but this woman in an episode that would be laughed at if it were to be repeated in a sitcom gets fired?
