Culture Buzz Aside from ol' Good Faithful, my new most favorite Twitterer and tweet topic is writer @SusanOrlean and her chickens! You guys, if (OK, when) I get chickens, what should I name them? Orlean's chicks are named Tookie, Merry-go-round, Mabel Black Label, Ruby and Laura.

Yes, that would be a beagle leaning in for a peck on the snout from his raccoon buddy. Interspecies love: the gift that keeps on giving.
Here's your daily serving of Diaper-wearing Llamas Kissing Humans. More animals in diapers (duh) at Urlesque.
