Corgi Covers ‘Call Me Maybe,’ Wins the Internet
Every day we call an end to the 'Call Me Maybe' meme. And every day we are compelled to run yet another video of the infectious Carly Rae Jepsen tune being either covered or lip dubbed. It's almost as if internet doesn't listen to us at all.

An Oregon teenager recently plucked a black bear cub from the wild, but quickly realized he and his family had absolutely no idea how to take care of it. (Duh.) It's the best example yet of why it's illegal (and not very smart) to remove a wild animal from its natural environment even if they are mind-meltingly awww-dorable.

California Dogs Cruise in Relaxing Montage
While we don't know why dogs love sticking their heads out of a moving car, we don't seem to mind it when they do. Maybe it's catching the breeze or how funny some of them look when doing so. Either way, it's cute, and it's the inspiration for a new video by Keith Hopkin called 'Dogs In Cars: California.'
