@Abejita: That's free market competition at work, baby! Being the first to do something doesn't matter nearly as much as being the biggest and best at doing it. It's pretty hard to sneer at ICHC's phenomenal number of page hits per day. More power to them, I say.

Very cute! As others have said, the ball is probably more fun for the hammy -- this is made to amuse humans more than hamsters, I think. But still cute as a novelty item. My son is a hamster fanatic. He even started a blog called "The Daily Hamster" (http://dailyhamster.com). So I'm guessing this'll be on his Amazon Wish List soon. LOL!

You wouldn't like Wilford when he's angry:

I only saw the demon with the horse phallus, myself. Does that mean I need to make an appointment with a mental health professional on Monday? ;-)

Seriously, though, while looking at the images, I realized that I wish we had more art in our playgrounds here in the U.S. Not depictions of impalement and decapitation, of course, but I think it would be cool to encourage artists to design creative and safe playground props. As it is, every playground looks the same.

I've never seen one before. Thanks for posting interesting stuff, BB!
