Panning for Internet Gold: The self-aware Roomba edition

You know how it is: sometimes you’re the cat, sometimes you’re the plastic miniature jockey. Whatever your incarnation over this past working week, rest your weary paws/rein-claws and slather yourself in some choice linkage.

Happy accidents

• These uplifting comments from the wonderful Bob Ross will elevate your day, however it’s going.
• Ooh, look: the tomb of a very shy bishop.
• Steve Jobs designed a very Apple-esque yacht before his death. It launched this week. More pictures in this Dutch post.
• You can buy a Game of Thrones replica throne for only $29,999.99.
• The Fresh Prince Will Smith was back in freestyling form this week.
• My favourite Twitter account this week: Self-Aware Roomba. Philosophical. Poignant. Battery-operated.
• Ask 4chan for photo editing services and you get all you deserve.
• The many derpy faces of streakers. Moderately NSFW, you can imagine.

Holy moley

• Golden moles: furry, blind, worryingly good at killing.
• This lobster is split-screen orange and black. SPLIT-SCREEN LOBSTER. PLEASE ADVISE.
• It seems snuggles are integral to young Walrus survival.
• Whereas seals are so dramatic.
• Everything about this news story is splendid.
• This benevolently murderous canine is a dog posing as Dexter. Dogxter.

Grumpy cats, Jiffy poms

• Another week, another adorable dog with a Facebook page and another cat-star of Instagram.
• Tiny goat is adopted by a dog. “Pipsqueak is too small to live with the other goats.” *Melts*
• Grumpycat (pictured right) has a slightly less grumpy brother. Still compelling.
• Dachshund puppies sleeping in a neat row. Because order is important.
