Stuttgart Zoo Gives Orangutans More Mating Options With Video Dating

Orangutan Video DatingTwo of the rare orangutans — Sinta and Conny — were shown videos of available males to see if there was any interest in hopes of one day breeding, according to a statement from the Wilhelma Zoo in Stuttgart.

“The signs are positive,” the zoo said after Sinta and Conny appeared to take a liking to a male named Gempa living 350 miles away in Belgium.

The zoo said Sinta and Gempa are now enjoying a real-life date at the Pairi Daiza zoo, approximately 40 miles south-west of Brussels.

“We will now have to wait and see, whether it will be love at second sight,” Marianne Holtkoetter, the zoo’s curator for great apes said in the statement.

Someone for everyone, even in kindergarten

Parker-and-Janelle

 

Cute story featured on ABC News today, on friendship and how people change people for the better, or perhaps really just bring out the best in you:

Parker Sullivan, 4, “never quite fit into a friend group,” according to his mother, Megan Sullivan.

Parker is gifted, which his mother said is “incredible but can be difficult at times.” One of those times was in prekindergarten, when Parker cried every morning because he didn’t want to play with toys or the other kids. Even in his daycare, he only wanted to talk to the teachers.

“He has truly struggled to find his place,” Sullivan told ABC News. “He didn’t have the same interests as his peers, but he was too immature to be friends with the older kids.”

Halfway through the year, the decision was made to move Parker up to kindergarten. That’s where he met Janelle.

“Her mother told me that she was having trouble making friends as well, but when the two met, they became inseparable,” Sullivan said. “Parker’s friend [Janelle] teaches him how to be a kid, running around, being silly, and picking up worms, while he teaches her to read, write, and memorize the periodic table. Their friendship truly is beautiful and innocent. They wake up excited to see each other, play all day at school together, and then ask to play after school together every single day.”

 

Janelle-and-Parker

Parker’s mom, Megan Sullivan:

“I was joking with my dad about how funny it is that so many people are interested in these two and their little story,” Sullivan said, “but he brought up a great point. I think these two provide a great reminder of how there is a friend out there for everyone. No matter how ‘weird’ you may be or what strengths and weaknesses you have, God puts people in your path who need your strengths and who are strong where you are weak,” she said.

Leap Year Tradition in Ireland: Women Propose to their Boyfriends

Irish tradition is that women can propose to their boyfriends on Leap Day.  Much like the movie “Leap Year:  According to an old Irish legend, or possibly history, it dates back to 5th Century Ireland when St Brigid allegedly struck a deal with St Patrick, allowing women to propose on February 29.  For the best luck the woman wears pants or a red petticoat while down on one knee.  If the man doesn’t accept the proposal, per the tradition of the Leap Year rules, the woman can in return claim either 12 pairs of gloves or a silk dress.

A PR event for bridal companies:

Heather Cox and Donovan Lalond, leap day proposal

Heather Cox is one stateside woman who wanted to take part in the tradition and pop the question to her boyfriend of two-and-a-half years, Donovan Lalonde.

Cox flew overseas to meet 10 other open-minded women, who all took part in a Leap Day Proposal Party, hosted by David’s Bridal and Brides U.K. At the event, hosted inside the Savoy Hotel in London, the women were pampered with hair and make-up and outfitted in a designer dress before they each proposed to their mates. After all the questions were answered, they were thrown a party to celebrate the occasion.

“He’s always been joking for a while, saying, ‘We’ll get married when you propose to me.’ I knew he was joking, but when the opportunity presented itself, I said, ‘Oh, I can propose to him,'” Cox told ABC News.

When the time came, Cox, 29, said she wasn’t nervous to pop the question since they had discussed the idea of getting married. She added, however, “Honestly, I kind of blacked out when I asked him.”

The Austin, Texas, woman said she even bought Lalonde, 34, a ring “because it felt traditional. Usually the guys propose with a ring, so it’d be a memento that he’d have that would symbolize [the engagement].”

So, what did Lalonde say? Yes, of course.

“He looked really shocked,” Cox added. “He was like, ‘Yeah, but now I have to ask you so it can be real. And I said, ‘No, it is real!'”

Human Valentine For 70-Pound Octopus

The Seattle Auquarium cancelled their scheduled date between a 30 to 40 pound female octopus and the 70-pound male octopus, fearing that the bigger cephalopod will choose to eat her rather than mate.  So, instead they sent in a human diver in his tank.

Madness Love Reason

3 things that go together?!  Kind of sounds like the movie “Crazy Stupid Love“.  Valentine’s Day weekend was full of tv movies to catch up on and in one movie, “Good Luch Chuck“, the marijuana smoking brother reminds his sister of Friedrich Nietzsche’s quote when feeling overwhelmed by her boyfriend’s zealous show of affection:

“There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.”

What do you think?  ‘Madly in love’…

High School Senior Buys Valentine’s Day Flowers for All 834 Girls at His School

Valentine's Day flowersHayden Godfrey wanted to make  “as many people as possible” happy this Valentine’s Day, so he planned to give each girl in his Utah high school a flower and pulled it off with some help from his friends to prepare the flowers/pass them out.  Godfrey saved for a year and a half to afford the $450 to purchase the 900 carnations from an online wholesaler, working as a cook at McDonald’s, dishwasher at a Mexican restaurant, and bagging groceries at a local store.

The idea started when Godfrey was 14, whenhe would anonymously send flowers to dozens of his friends.  Each year, the project got bigger and bigger in scale, to this.

“I think it’s something I’ll remember for the rest of my life,” he said. “I got a lot of ‘thank yous’ that day. It was really cool.” 

Hayden Godfrey & Lilyan Sharp

His girlfriend of six months and fellow classmate, Lilyan Sharp, called Godfrey’s gesture “very special” and said every girl walked out of
school with a “giant smile on their face.”

“I, myself, spent a lot of Valentine’s Days not receiving anything,” she told ABC News. “I know how it feels.”

Godfrey didn’t forget about his girlfriend – he got them concert tickets for “A Great Big World” in Salt Lake City on March 28.
