The mammoth carp weighed 92 pound and was 62 inches long. It could qualify him for a Guiness Book of World record for the largest recreational fish ever caught. The man that caught it said he gave up the idea of reeling it in, so he jumped into the water and wrested the beast to ground.

A puppy born in New Orleans was born “green.” Despite his odd looks, the puppy is healthy and won’t retain his green hue for very long.

“It’s surprising, alarming to see. Sometimes, when a puppy is born, the amniotic fluid mixes with the placenta and dyes the coat of the puppy and it almost always happens to very light colored puppies. There are not health concerns, it’s really just a discoloration in the birthing process.”
said Louisiana SPCA CEO Anna Zorrilla.

She also stated that the puppy will probably be white or light tan in the weeks and months to come.
It’s a good thing that this oddity in science will correct itself, otherwise the puppy might be named Leprechaun!

Hex’s veterinarian says that he had a twin, but the kitten stopped developing and fused with him. A surgery to remove his extra appendages is expected to cost between $3,500 -$4,000 dollars.

His owners that live in Florida are setting up a fund for donations to pay for little Hex’s surgery.

He looks like one happy kitten, 6 legs or not..

Earth Day was created by Gaylord Nelson, a Wisconsin Senator in 1962. Mr. Nelson wanted to create awareness about our environment in a time when these concerns weren’t a focus in the political arena.

Despite presenting his thoughts and ideas, his “Earth Day” didn’t immediately take off. A grass roots movement in 1970 brought this day into the collective of Americans. Mr. Nelson said:

“Our goal is an environment of decency, quality, and mutual respect for all other human creatures and for all living creatures. The battle to restore a proper relationship between man and his environment, between man and other living creatures will require a long, sustained, political, moral, ethical, and financial commitment — far beyond any effort made before.”

All these years later Gaylord Nelson’s vision brings communities, countries and people together for a single minded purpose - to make our environment a better place for today, tomorrow and decades to come.

It took a long 22 innings to get through the Major League Baseball game that finally ended at 1:21 AM.

The lawsuit alleges that the company registers a domain shorty after a person searches for it and then charges the consumer to buy the domain back from them.

This practice is what’s called “front running.”

Network Solutions admits to registering domains shortly after a search, but say the practice is to protect consumers from other companies that might register the domain and keep it locked up. Network Solutions releases the domain name in four days.

The company declined to comment on the lawsuit.

Wayne Frost made his fame being one of the breakdancers in the 80’s movie Flashdance. He is pretty much the father of B-Boy dancing, which has grown very competitive in the last few years.

He suffered from a long standing illness and died at Mount Sinai Medical Center.

We’re saddened to hear that he has passed, but his spirit lives on in the dance style he worked so hard to get recognized..

MLK had a vision - and from that vision made many quotable quotes. Here are a few MLK quotes to honor this man four decades later.

• “A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan.”
• 
  “All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.”
• An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.
