Saturday Morning Cartoon
This sneak preview of the Aquabats! Supershow! has everything: talking mushrooms, trippy trees, and a scary unicorn lady.
Food Fight!
I saw this video earlier this week and thought it would make a nice weekend distraction. In Food Fight, a video by Stefan Nadelman, various modern battles are recreated using food from the regions of the world engaged in the conflict. It begins at WWII, but if you're not that well versed in war, don't worry, the folks at Boing Boing have kindly edited the video to include subtitles.
Does Soda Mess With Your DNA?
All of you soda drinkers might want to pay attention to this one. A new study from Britain's Sheffield University is linking sodium benzoate, a preservative found in some sodas, to cell damage. Research is suggesting that the preservative has the ability to switch vital parts of DNA.
Yummy Link: Chocolate "Carbonite" Han Solo
geeksugar often likes to tell me how awful her cooking skills are (which, btw folks, they are not) - I think she's just intimidated by the recipes. However, I just came across a food creation that I think she'll love. Remember that scene in Star Wars where Han Solo gets stuck in carbonite?
Miracle Fruit Will Get Your Taste Buds High
Sure, we've all heard of the Superfruits, but how about miracle fruit? Miracle fruit is a little known berry that alters taste buds making bitter things better and sour things sweet. The effect lasts anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours.

Do Tell: Who Does the Most Dog Duty in Your Family?
Sloooow down there, Bo — I wanna get a good look at you! We've seen both Barack and the girls taking care of the first pooch, and here's Michelle walking (or getting walked by) this cute pup. It's great to have a family of humans to chip in for the dog walking (especially for early morning or late night duties) but who's left holding the leash most often in your household?
Even More Bo! First Dog Frolics With First Family
Welcome home — what better way to pass time than with the super-cute Bo! Sasha and Malia played with the pup while waiting for the presidential helicopter to land on the South Lawn yesterday and then the trio reunited with a group hug. (Group "awwww.")
I'm betting they shared tales of this cute pup while the president was off on official business, but Bo still shows his daddy love and support, sporting the same collar and leash set as we've seen before.
The Vacation's Over, Bo Is Back to Business!
Ahh, for me, the saddest part of vacation is when it comes to an end but Bo Obama seems eager to scamper onboard on the way back to DC. After spending the week on Martha's Vineyard, he's heading back to his normal life at the White House — naturally via Air Force one, how else would a presidential pooch travel?!
Even though there was word of his very own doggie parade on the island when he arrived last week, the First Dog was a no-show to the big event.
Found! Bo's Busy Buddy Squirrel Dude
How radical, I've found Bo Obama's Busy Buddy Squirrel Dude ($9)! The toy bounces wildly all over the place when tossed, due to the odd shape, but the tough rubber holds up to strong chompers after a pup chases it all over the place.
As a bonus, the busy buddy keeps your buddy busy with an opening on the bottom where you can insert kibble or tiny training treats if he needs a little playtime encouragement.
Found! Bo Obama's Collar and Leash Set
Well of course Bo loves Obama, that's his human dad! What a ruff life — over the weekend, he got his very own puppy parade in Martha's Vineyard so here's hoping we'll see more of this celebripup as their vacation unfolds. If you also want to show off presidential love via your pampered pals (if that's your thing), check out the same set rocked by the First Dog.
