Panning for Internet Gold: The ‘Go home, you are drunk’ edition

Look at this thing. It’s an Echidna. Nobody would know what an Echidna was without the internet and this adorable pudding would be tossed over a cliff at birth, like so many Spartan babies lacking the mandatory six-pack. So let’s take a coffee-break or two to frolic in all the bountiful goodness of the online. Sack off work for Bo. Bo, the lovely Echidna.

Winds of change and hope and that

• Hurricane Sandy caused devastation for humans and – sniff – pets. Luckily there were animals available to help. And Ben Stiller.
• America sorted out who should be their next Quadrannual King. First there was a debate (badly lip-read), then Tumblr decided through the medium of gifs that there was only one winner. Cue the hottest new club in town: CONCESSION.
• Urgent signs are urgent.
• This is how highly talented musical youth are doing their thing these days. Like a frantic game of Simon Says.
• Katharine HepBURN. You’re gonna need a plaster on that.
• Prosthetic limb technology is getting cocky. This dude’s new arm is prosth-mazing.

The most infectious videos of this week belonged to the kids. First, Dragon Baby; astonishing stunt technique. Second, Jimmy Kimmel is up to his old tricks, disappointing children:

Save John

This Sherlock game gives you an excuse to click on Cumberbatch’s face repeatedly (as if you didn’t already).

What happens when you search Google images for a : sign? See what they did there.

Friends have gone metal. Full-on scary death metal.

Dancing with Jesus features ‘a host of miraculous moves’.

Cooking with Skrillex features fire. Lots of fire.

Error 406: Does not stack

• Some fool gave the cup-stacking otter cups that don’t stack. Caution: hypnotizing gif action.
• Baby giraffe will slay you with one bat of his lengthy eyelashes.
• An excellent cat t-shirt (model’s own).
• You know what else you don’t know about Fennec Foxes? Tasty ears.
• Look: tiny things! First, a tech-literate baby koala.
• Many tiny pandas!
• Small dog versus a doorstop. This time it’s serious.
• You’ll have never been happier to see a tiny crab.

Cats in baths have never been as dramatic as this:
