Visitors are being captivated by the antics of two of Dublin Zoo’s latest arrivals – a pair of beautiful 8 week old Sumatran tiger cubs.
The yet unnamed cubs are a most precious edition to Dublin Zoo as the Sumatran Tiger is a critically endangered species – only a few hundred of these magnificent creatures survive in the wild. The birth occurred in the early hours of 29th May to mother Sigra.The male cub weighed in at 1 kg at birth and the female .85 kg.
This is an interview with Anita, keeper at Dublin zoo, about the cubs and how you can see them and help support Dublin zoo.
You know them, you love them, the Hooters Girls. But some of them have even more talent than others! Check out what this one’s doing (for charity, no less) with a barstool and a pitcher of beer, on live TV.
With the return of Lance Armstrong from retirement and his expected battle with teammate Alberto Contador looming, the Tour de France began a week ago on July 4, 2009. Friday’s 140-mile trek from Barcelona to the Andorran ski resort of Arcalis was the longest stage this Tour. Competitors scaled the punishing Serra-Seca pass before the climb into Arcalis that is one of the toughest ascents in cycling. Lance Armstrong dropped one spot to third place in the Tour de France on Friday, with rival and teammate Alberto Contador breaking away in the final sprint up the mountain to claim second. Two more days of racing in the Pyrenees await before a rest day Monday. Saturday’s stage is a 110-mile route that features three hard climbs and finishes in Saint-Girons, France. The Tour ends July 26 in Paris. Photos from the Denverpost

People have been flocking to the Holy Mary Parish Church in County Limerick to look at a log they believe holds the image of the Virgin Mary. Religous people are stupid, another great day for Irelands future as a knowledge econom.
