Zeus, the new world’s tallest dog.

Move over, Giant George, you’ve been supplanted as the world’s tallest dog.  Great Danes are usually the tallest dog breed you’ll see out in the real world, but there’s a slight difference between your average Great Dane and the truly greatest of Great Danes just might be Zeus.  Standing 44 inches tall at the shoulder and an impressive 7’4 when up on his hind legs, Zeus the Great Dane is the new tallest dog in the world.  The difference between George and Zeus is only an inch in height; George is 43 inches tall.

Every two weeks, Zeus goes through a 30-pound bag of dog food and is so tall he can drink from the sink without having to stretch, as you see above.  He weights 155 pounds, but I imagine as he gets older, he’ll gain a little more weight.  Zeus is owned by Kevin and Denise Doorlag of Otsego, Michigan.  Here’s hoping Zeus, Giant George, and Boo Boo (the world’s smallest dog) can all get together and have a play session.

Maybe the Guinness World Records crew can make that happen!

Usually, when someone talks about hot beats, it’s just because they really like the music.  However, one unnamed woman on a flight from Beijing, China, to Melbourne, Australia, got exposed to some really hot beats.  A woman’s headphone burst into flames while she was wearing them! It’s just not safe to enjoy yourself anymore, between […]

This will be the last Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to ever be on an airplane.  After all, the phone has been pulled from shelves and pockets all around the world, because the phones tend to, uh… catch fire and/or explode.  It’s not a laughing matter if you’re flying over the Rocky Mountains with one in […]

Since 2014, Craig Sager has been caught in the fight of his life.  He’s been battling leukemia since 2014, and he’s had multiple stem-cell treatments and rounds of radiation, and he continues to struggle against the disease for all he’s worth.  He’s been a very public face for most of his life, and now he’s engaged […]

The Red Cross is a wonderful organization.  When there’s trouble, the Red Cross is there setting up shelters and handing out food and water.  The Red Cross is normally very sensitive to the community needs around them, to boot.  However, sometimes, something will slip through the cracks that just looks wrong.  One of these things is […]

One of the most famous features of Matt Groening’s fictional town of Springfield is a strange one.  Springfield is home to a giant, perpetually burning tire fire.  I guess considering the town also has a nuclear plant that routinely leaks glowing green waste into the town’s water supply, the tire fire isn’t such a big […]

Gas prices don’t usually go down.  They go up.  Gas prices rose for decades, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but always up on a long enough timeline.  Not long ago, $4 a gallon for gas was a very real proposition.  Nobody thought prices would go in the other direction, and yet… gas prices are going down […]

Fashion designers look for inspiration everywhere.  Some of it is pop culture, like Friday the 13th-inspired hoodies.  Other fashions are inspired by low culture, like deluxe Snuggies.  Some people turn to the culture of their past for inspiration, like the 8-bit video games they grew up on.  Italian fashion house Moschino is partnering with Nintendo […]
