White Tiger Cubs Make Squeaky Noises, Lick Cages, Win Hearts

It's only Wednesday, but that doesn't mean we can't give you a little Hump Day critter cuteness. Three white tigers were born last month at the Shirotori Zoo in western Japan. (The newbies don't have names yet; any suggestions?) These dudes are virtually extinct in the wild, but there are seven in residence at the Shirotori. Check out the ridiculously cute squeaky noises the little guy makes at the end. It's like he's trying to roar but he just can't get the hang of it.

Concerned citizens of London are banding together in an effort to aid the dispossessed and desperate hordes of runway refugees currently arriving in the U.K. for the city's fashion week festivities, according to reports coming out of Europe.

Says Reuters:

Bumpkin restaurant in trendy Notting Hill is offering models with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of less than 18 the opportunity to gorge on fish pies, lamb burgers, king prawns and scallops.
"If I could recommend a dish to a size zero model, it would be a charter pie containing leeks, chicken and bacon; it's enough to keep you warm and energised all day," Bumpkin general manager Dariush Nejad said in a statement on Monday."

Models, says Nejad, can simply show up to Bumpkin during the lunch hour and present their ~~modeling cards~~ identity cards to prove they have a BMI index of less than 18. No word yet on whether the charity efforts will be extended to include the wives of washed-up soccer stars.
