We previously mentioned that Bob Barker was trying to get the University of Washington to stop using live cats as part of their pediatric training program.

Instead of using live babies, obvi, the university needed a stand-in… so they went with live cats!!

Most schools use mannequins for training, instead of poor, sedated kitties, so Bob tried to get them to switch.

He offered the school $75,000 to change to state-of-the-art simulators, if they'd stop using cats…

French actress Melanie Laurent, one of the stars from Inglourious Basterds, is absolutely stunning!!

Even though she's pregnant, it didn't stop her from taking off all of her clothing and posing with nothing more than a large crab to cover herself.

The picture is part of a series of photos for the project "Fishlove," and she looks dammmmn good!!

The whole campaign is about raising awareness of how over-fishing is destroying our marine environment.

Science always seems to be finding new species every year.

It also seems like they're always discovering some new gross bug or horrifying spider monster.

Why can't they ever discover unicorns or wood nymphs or something like that??

Science has made a top ten list for new species discovered and guess what gross bug made the list…

Johnny Depp has had many memorable roles.

But his most famous role may be his turn in Edward Scissorhands where he plays the title role of an artificial man who has scissors for hands.

In fact, it is SO famous that a 505-million-year-old fossil of an extinct creature has been named after Depp because of this character.

The extinct great ancestor of lobsters has been deemed Kooteninchela deppi .

Here's what a scientist said:

"When I first saw the pair of isolated claws in the fossil records of this species, I could not help but think of Edward Scissorhands. Even the genus name, Kootenichela, includes the reference to this film, as 'chela' is Latin for claws or scissors. In truth, I am also a bit of a Depp fan and so what better way to honor the man than to immortalize him as an ancient creature that once roamed the sea?"

Wow!!!

We wonder if Depp will call the scientist up to thank him!

It isn't everyday that one gets an honor such as this!!!

Check out a picture of the extinct creature… AFTER THE JUMP!!!

Naki'o is a cute rescue dog who is one lucky guy.

As a puppy, he lost all four of his paws and the tip of his tail to frostbite.

He was found frozen in a puddle in the basement of an abandoned home.

Luckily, Naki'o's owner got him four prosthetic paws!

Now he can run around and play just like other dogs.

He doesn't need a special chair to wheel around in or anything, he's just like any other normal dog now and it's ahmayzing!

Way to go, science and medicine! Save those doggies!

Check out the video (above) to see Naki'o the bionic dog in action.

Animal activists stormed an animal research facility at the University of Milan in Italy.

The extreme supporters of animal rights released a number of mice and rabbits from their cages, and mixed up cage labels to disturb what experiments were going on.

The workers at the research facility were using the animals to research autism and schizophrenia.

Although no arrests were made - the university says it is considering pressing charges
