Police Lose Dolphin at Philadelphia International Airport
So a dolphin got lost in the Schuylkill this past weekend, following a school of herring that was swimming up the Delaware.
You can read the whole story over at Philly.com and get your dose of snark on the subject from DMac at Philly Will Do.

FAIL: Philadelphia Parking Authority
Hah! Philebrity had this great photo posted last week of a Parking Authority van sitting in a handicapped spot. Absolutely amazing, total epic fail.

CBS3: Thinks Star Wars Has Been Around For 40 Years
Fact: Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope came out in 1977.
2008 - 1977 = 31.
Epic fail, CBS3. Epic fail.

Wild Peacocks Running Around South Jersey
Flickr credit PhillyBits
Ray from PhillyBits was off exploring South Jersey this past weekend, and caught a pretty hysterical sight. Wild peacocks. He followed the bird around, taking photos galore, and capturing these great shots of the peacock being stalked by a neighborhood cat.
The funny thing was that it was being actively stalked by their [...]
XBox 360: Stolen & Returned, The Powers of the Interweb
I’ll be taking that back now, if you don’t mind…
Jesse McPherson is a 26-year-old, an engineer at Comcast Interactive Media and today, our hero. A little over half a month ago, McPherson’s Fishtown apartment was burglarized and he lost his flat screen television, his Apple Laptop and his Xbox 360. Within the past week, he’s [...]

Mirabelle’s owners also turned to a pet psychic for help.“We have enlisted the help [...]
Casino vs Turtles… Turtles FTW!
We here at Geekadelphia love animals. We really do. I have a bunny and a chinchilla, and Tim and his fiancé have a rabbit as well. So we fully support the little red bellied turtle and his battle against the casinos.
Want to help? Hit up TurtleSale, a website that somehow manages to sell live turtles [...]
Craigslist Find: Now Hiring Carnies & Evil Clowns
This amazing Craigslist ad headline, “Wanted: Freaks, Carnies, Evil Clowns, and Midgets” doesn’t do the full ad justice! After all, they are also seeking pope impersonators, herds of gimps, sword swallowers, and dog ladies.
This special project takes place sometime in July of this year, and is, thankfully, “a legal event” and not a “pyramid scam [...]
Craigslist Find: Alligator for Microsoft Zune
There are a lot of things I’d trade for a Microsoft Zune. Bits of string, a couple pieces of lint, maybe a Q-Tip or two, but certainly not an entire alligator.
Erwin the gator comes complete with a 35 gallon indoor pond, filter, fountain, lights, water heater, and even the fish. The poster would also be [...]
