Panning for Internet Gold: the screaming sheep edition

Imagine contemporary naughty celebrities in 1920s mugshots. Actually, don’t bother – just bend your retina a couple degrees south because THE INTERNET ALREADY MADE IT HAPPEN.

It’s not clear why, but it’s provocative. It gets the people going. That’s what those magical tubes do. It’s my job to put the best of it in front of you of a weekend, so fix up: look sharp.

No more “I Love You’s”, Dr House

• Sleepwalking logic is eternally funny. Watch this lad’s video of his sleep-dancing Mum, along with her reaction.
• Do you remember when Annie Lennox made a music video in which she snubbed Hugh Laurie, got herself trousered and threw herself at John Malkovich? Woman is a warrior queen.
• Bill Cosby reminisces about his favourite sweaters on Twitter.
• These Hieronymous Bosch figurines can haunt your home as well as your nightmares.
• The Guardian’s Six Songs of Me is rather wonderful.
• Some people are having tremendous fun with Nicholas Cage-related japes.

Sun-vomit

Watching the sun get angry puts your bad week into perspective:

Mutton dressed as laaaaamb

• This week, the internet discovered screaming sheep. It had a sing-off with Yeah Lamb. I’m not sure where Jerry Lewis goat fits into all this.
• What does a stingray x-ray look like? Beautiful. [Full article.]
• Jumping fish. Thousands of ’em.
• This manatee is ecstatic at getting a shower.
• A labrador and a fish have a business meeting. With kisses.
• This dog is dressed like an Ewok. As cute as it sounds.

New ways to monkey around

• A new, rather introspective-looking species of monkey has been discovered. Twitter speculated on Noel Fielding’s involvement.
• This dog has been overfed. Meet Obie the Fatshund.
• Dog muzzles needn’t look aggressive.  Quack is quite charming.
• Ducks crossing a motorway is my runaway Best Action Movie of 2012.
• This cat’s just sitting, chilling like it thinks it’s people.
• This cat-owner’s engineering project for his box-loving pet Rufus had me melted in a disgusting, snotty puddle of happy tears.

Can you help me?

This adorable robot convinced helpful passers-by to make a documentary:
