Some people express confusion over Americans celebrating Cinco de Mayo, when it's not even that big of a deal in Mexico. We express confusion over people turning down an excuse to eat tacos and sip tequila until the sun comes up/you've gone cross-eyed. Not to mention, did you see that photo? That is a capybara wearing a fake mustache. We rest our case.

With their wobbly gait and tuxedo-style fur, penguins are goofily adorable no matter what they do. In the video below, a tiny penguin has had enough of a human who got a little too close, and charges the man while barking. This surprises the gawker, who slips on the ice and falls down while backing away from the flightless bird.

Ever wonder what a dog would say if it could speak? Turns out, it’s nothing less than what you’d expect from man’s best friend.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is known for setting random personal challenges for himself and successfully completing them. Last year, for example, he pledged to master Mandarine Chinese. This year, the 27-year-old CEO has one-upped himself by vowing to only consume meat in which he's killed himself.

A Russian man has created what's now being referred to as an explosion of cuteness: a kitten crash test. It's similar to a car crash test in which a vehicle runs full speed into a wall or another car. But instead of a hunk of metal on metal, it's a giant pile of soft and fuzzy times two.
