Van life in Watercolor
Ah, van life! Is it any wonder the VW Vanagon Syncro won AJ’s ultimate adventure vehicle poll? But van life has its, um, wrinkles, as this awesome and very creative animated short shows you. The stop-motion film was created with 300 individual water color paintings, then pieced together with a small and dedicated crew. Who clearly know Vanagons.

Fact...
Pluto never made a full orbit around the sun from the time it was discovered to when it was declassified as a planet.

Baby Gorilla Born in Rare C-section
Having witnessed the birth of my own child and knowing how cute the first few moments of life are. Its even cuter to see a baby Gorilla get the same hospital treatment.
The latest arrival at San Diego Zoo Safari Park is a healthy newborn gorilla delivered through caesarian section. The procedure is rare for animal births, but in this case, it was an emergency.
Zoo officials say 18-year-old gorilla Imani went into labor Wednesday morning, but by that evening, she still wasn't showing any signs of progress. Vet staff took Imani to the Safari Park's hospital, where they successfully delivered a 4.6-lb. baby girl.
The baby, who hasn't been named yet, is doing well. She initially needed to be put on supplemental oxygen, fluids, and adorable hat, but now she's doing healthy baby gorilla things (like grasping, kicking, and suckling).
"She looks around. She can hold her own head up, which is pretty amazing," said Nadine Lamberski, associate director of veterinary services at the zoo, to CBS San Diego.
