You haven't lived until you see Twiggy, the water skiing squirrel.

I think I saw this squirrel on CNN or MSNBC; maybe on Keith Olberman's Countdown.

He's a cute squirrel. I wonder how they trained him to do that, because squirrels are wild animals. I had one stuck in my air conditioning ducts last summer and  when I unscrewed the vent cover he jumped out at me and ran loose in my house. It was terrible. He was racing wildly around the house, jumping and leaping everywhere. I finally managed to get him safely out of the house, but it was quite an ordeal.

Someone must be very talented with animals to actually teach a squirrel to water ski!  :D

Olbermann loves the water skiing squirrel... he uses Twiggy a lot in Oddball, and part of his current Animals on the Internets series.  :)

I am testing out embedded videos just before I open this feature up to everyone, so I figured I'd find some fun stuff.

Premium members will find the piano-playing cat in their forum.

Cool video feature.  It the video hosted here on Bettermost, or is it linking/streaming from somewhere else?

Both or neither.  :)  The YouTube-logo stuff comes off YouTube itself.  If you don't see a logo, it usually means it's hosted here.

well I am just delighted that I can use this feature on my old computer and dialup...a lot of the new features offered just don't work on older computers!

very cool feature Phillip!

These will work on dial-up, but longer ones may need extra time to load because you are on dialup.  This one was shorter so it probably started pretty quick.  Some longer ones may need a minute or two to start up.
