Dear Publisher Tim Keck, I think everyone here will agree, we each need one of these on our desks. I hope you don’t mind. I’ve ordered several cases from Planet WTF. Love, Kelly

  1. Animals as accessories. I’m gonna buy a chihuahua for my purse and a portuguese water dog for my yard. From a breeder.

  2. I need one too. I’ve decided that it is a vanity crossbreed between rodent and waterfowl, and have dubbed it a “quackerdoodle.”

    Planet WTF is apparently on backorder for them, though. 🙁

  3. I…you could have described that animal to me and my response would have been, “what, are you reading the travels of Marco Polo again? Shut your gullible face.” And I, I would have been wrong.

    in 1890s new york, it was trendy for the wealthy to wear animals as jewelry. as in, you would go to a pet store, buy a lizard or other small animal, wear it until it died, throw it away, and buy another one.

  5. @17 – My grandmother supposedly had a live chameleon brooch she wore in the 20s! (From what I could gather it had some kind of collar attached to a pin?! And of course, it always matched her outfit …)

    As far as this video I find that thing oddly disturbing …

  6. aren’t those things endangered? what’s one doing on someone’s desk?
    looks a little worse for wear too.
    still cute as the dickens tho.

  7. @21, My parents bought my brother and me each a chameleon at the Calif. State Fair in about 1967. They matched our sweatshirts almost immediately (indeed, they were “attached” with a string attached to a safety pin attached to our sweatshirts). By the end of the day they were miserable, but we took them home, got them a large cage, caught moths and flies for them every day, and they lived a LONG TIME!
