A woman found a wounded lion at the brink of death in the forest. She brought him to her house and took care of him until he got better. After the lion had recovered, she called a zoo and made arrangements so that she could bring him to a proper home, a place where they would be able to continue taking care of him.
This video was filmed when the woman went to visit the lion in the zoo some time after. The reaction of the lion when he sees her is INCREDIBLE.
Here’s a screenshot from the reunion video, but it’s worth seeing it for real “here”:http://duenos.net/images/alex/LionHug.swf, even if you have to put up with the local news banter.

At his “Pickup School for Men Who Can’t Get Any”:http://fujitakikaku.com/nanpa/, Satoshi Fujita teaches the geeks of Tokyo that sex comes first, then the relationship. In a strange combination of the Japanese love of self-improvement and the Western concern for the carnal, many _Nanpa_–the art of picking up women–tutors offer their secrets up for sale to any willing to learn. For Fujita it seems, life is all about the )*$$^ and after 10 years of teaching on the side and developing his own seduction science he is now a full-time _nanpa_-expert. For more about Fujita, his school, and his secrets read this wonderful article from “Wired”:http://www.wired.com/, “Inside the Bizarre World of Japanese Pickup Schools”:http://www.wired.com/culture/lifestyle/news/2008/02/pick_up_school/
Of course, for those unwilling or unable to attend Fujita’s classes, one can always get one of the “previously featured”:http://duenos.net/article/314/HoneyDollsSexDolls Honey Dolls, also from Japan.

http://www.goveg.com have put together yet another tasteless venue in which hot women wear very little clothing in the name of animal freedom. In the "Sexiest Vegetarian Next Door":http://www.goveg.com/feat/sexiest_vegetarian_next_door_2008/index.asp contest, visitors vote for these vegan vixens in a NCAA-type tournament bracket and the hottest gets a trip to Hawaii.

http://www.ex-da.com, offer clients a fair and confidential evaluation of their partner's fidelity through staged encounters with attractive strangers, all captured on video. The "integrity testers" or "honey trappers" as they are more euphemistically called can be engaged through private detective firms like the one above, "UK Honey Trap":http://ukhoneytrap.co.uk/index.php, or "Honey Traps":http://www.ukhoneytraps.co.uk/. If you're interested in getting pick-up experience and getting paid for it, you can become a honey trapper yourself through the recruitment pages at any of their websites. More at "Reuters.com":http://www.reuters.com/article/email/idUSL132980220080213?pageNumber=1&virtualBrandChannel=10005&sp=true . Thanks Melissa. Another fun way to deal with infedelity is by embracing it like the "previously featured":http://duenos.net/article/158/Coupledocumenttheirsexplorations couple who kept a "blog":http://www.katieanderic.com/ about their sexplorations.

YouTube does seem to have become a strange ‘cool hunting grounds’ when it comes to coaxing your video into becoming popular. If you’re interested in what famous musicians, political analysts, university professors, or religious leaders have to say then you might check out Big Think – a video media website that allows users to ask questions and rank answers in a more serious fashion. It won’t be strange little Gophers with dramatic music or badger, badger, mushroom but it may in fact be a worthwhile use of your time.
Ask the Big Think
Thanks to Laurie Bridges for the snag-

How to solve the US oil debacle, robots that climb walls, environmental justice in New York, dangerous things that you should make your kids do, why we have so many freaking choices of pasta sauce, and best/worst of all: local warming.
What the crap is this? TED. Ideas worth spreading. A conference held yearly – some of the coolest speakers with the most brilliant ideas, all available online in video form.
Try watching one a day – they release new ones frequently.

As much as it might be crass to say it, this makes sense. A recent study coming out of the Netherlands is concluding that as far as the financial health of a nation-wide medical program goes, obesity is good for business. Obese people and smokers tend to die 7 years earlier of relatively simple problems derived from being grossly overweight or filling their lungs with tar. People who eat or smoke themselves into such a weakened position tend to fall to things like heart disease, lung cancer and diabetes whereas healthy people need much longer and more expensive treatment for strokes and degenerative diseases. According to the study, healthy Dutch people cost the health system around $417,000 from age 20 onwards, whereas the obese and smoking populations only cost $371,000 and $326,000 respectively over the same period. The margin is not huge, but spread out over a population of 300 million, that’s some real expense. Of course, there are things more important than saving money, but this brings an interesting perspective to the re-drafting of our national health system over the next couple of years.
