Is your pet\'s rear offensive? Try Rear Gear!
This item is just screaming for its own infomercial: "Are you tired of seeing your dog's butthole? Is your cat self-conscious about the appearance of her rear? Has your favorite poochy pal let his backside go untouched? Have no fear! Rear Gear is her...
Gigantic mechanical elephant
*sings "All I want for Christmas is a a gigantic mechanical elephant ride..."* Alright, so this is Sultan's elephant (at least according to one of the comments....another suggests it is a different one) and I realize that it was dismantled years ago...
When I grow up, I wanna be an armpit sniffer
Don't we all? Okay, you're right, probably not. It's amazing how some people end up with their weird jobs, though, but hey, somebody's gotta do them, eh? Today I'm pointing you to a list of really bizarre jobs including the arm sniffers shown above...
Turkey sings adorable "I Will Survive" rewrite
By far one of the most adorable Thanksgiving-related videos I've seen. You'll love it, too. I found it over on this silly lady's blog and thought it was worthy of an extra post today. ;) *Sings* And now you're back, think you're the boss Wanna put ...
Cowboys herding cats - The latest rage!
"Anybody can herd cattle. Holding together 10,000 half-wild short hairs, that's another thing altogether." Before it reaches the end, can you guess what they're actually advertising? ~~ For the rest of today's quirk, click through to Quirky Jess...

Glass-shelled hermit crabs
We tried having hermit crabs a couple times. For a family that was in contact with hundreds of animals any given year, the hermit crabs seemed so stereotypical and silly. And so I wanted one, of course. :P Of all the animals we rescued, r...
Here comes Peter Cottontail, blowing up the Bunny Trail....
Not really, of course, but that's what it might look like to people passing by! The Bunny Project took place in Sweden in 2008. It was done in connection with the opening of the Kalmar Museum of Art, but was put promptly to a halt. They were forced...
And just in case you really like horses (interactive musical horses)
Rewind: More than 3 years ago (because I'm assuming I would've posted it here had I had QJ at the time), I ran across this little horse flash. I sent it to my mother....and my sister....and I'm sure I probably kept it up in a tab for a few days becau...
Driftwood Art Horses
I've shown you over and over again that art can be made out of truly anything, and here I am to do it again. This time, it's pieces of driftwood turned into beautiful horses. Heather Jansch has an entire collection of pictures on her website, and a b...

Beatboxing parrot

How to make yourself into an elephant, ostrich, etc, out of household items
I think that's the most intelligent title I can give something like this when frankly, I haven't the slightest idea what the heck this guy was doing. Maybe he was bored out of his mind. Maybe he was doing a full-size shadow puppet performance and w...
Swine Flu, Swine Flew -- When pigs fly
Okay, I didn't want to feed into the swine flu mess because we're all so tired of it. I opted to show you guys the quirky masks anyway, and I broke my rule again with this one. But come on, this was just way too good to pass up! Swine flu/flew....ju...
You are what you eat....so wash your hands!
I love creative advertising. Anything short of interesting and it's not even going to catch my attention, much less hold it long enough to know what the ad is trying to sell me. For these, the idea is that you "are what you eat." So if you touch ...
I see pink elephants...do you?
Once upon a time, it was a regular occurrence for me to speak of the pink and purple polka dotted elephants that were climbing in the trees. Well it isn't purple or polka dotted, but it is most definitely pink!! And this time, people aren't going ...
Leaving food for stray animals
There's a website called "Found" or "Found Magazine" and it's basically a collection of random things that people have "found." Clever, huh? :P It's usually bits of paper with notes scribbled on them or letters that never got sent, etc. Sometimes the...
A video to make you go "awww" and a personal story
This really touches me because I have experienced first hand what it is like to raise wild animals and then release them into the wild. You don't normally get the chance to see them ever again, and generally, they wouldn't remember you anyway. And fo...
Quirky Tur...key? Hmm
adopt your own virtual pet! Okay, so I wanted to get a brand new quirky turkey for Thanksgiving this year....but turns out, they didn't have any turkeys. What's the next closest thing? Well...a turtle, of course....at least it's half the correct wo...
