Lamb-oodle? Pood-amb?
Apparently there is a scam going on in Japan wherein people who think that they are purchasing a poodle - which is a dog, mind you - have actually received a lamb. I dunno…this sounds like urban-legend territory to me, but I’ll reserve judgment, if only because it is so damned cute to believe. And come on - deep down, wouldn’t you really rather have a pet lamb than a plain ole dog? Anyway, here’s my take on it, thanks to my recent obsession with the “im in ur…” meme:
UPDATE: Yep - looks like Snopes is busting this one.

Customer Service Rep: Because “ewe” ordered it! Hahahaha!

Via the Wikipedia page, I then cruised over to the single largest collection of lolcat pages that I’ve ever seen - if you’re on dial-up, abandon hope. But if you’re on hi-speed, click right here, wait a few minutes while everything loads, and settle in for some great belly laughs. […]
