I really like to surf in the internet, more if the results is going to a webcomic.
One of the webcomics that really have made me laugh is the one at http://theoatmeal.com/comics. It's really funny!
In the webpage you can find any types of comics from the same author: some of them has grammar hummor, where he teach in a fun (and sometimes ironic) way common mistakes in grammar.
But he also has some comics which focuses on the internet, on the daily life, and even some fun test for you to answer!
But, in other cases, they are just... dumb comics. He has somes as why is fun to punch a dolphin, or why would you feel attracted to Big Foot, or things like that.
When I'm really bored and don't have anything to do, I go to this page for laugthing a little bit. I really like the irony and sarcasm in his comics. Some are really sad (and true), but others are really weird (and also true).
I don't know why I like him so much, because, if I put to investigate a little more, there are funnier and more ironic comics than this. One of the is Cyanide and Happiness, or the Perry Bible Fellowship or Housepets (well, this isn't ironic, but I really love it)
Maybe it is because, even though the drawings aren't awsome (retrospectly... there aren't many web comics with a good drawing) and the themes he develops aren't so rare (they are preatty common) I think that the way he does it is the beautiful part of it.
At least, for me, it is like that.

Environment
I think that the environment is an issue that it needs to be look in our society.
I'm not so green, but I make some contributions. I normally walk and recicle things, but many of them I learnt it by myself.
Even though I learnt some things at school, it is very low what they teached me. I learnt more with external sources (e.g. documentaries; forums, campaigns) than in school itself. It's a little bit sad, but I think that most of what you know about helping environment you learnt it by that way.
For example, recicling at school was more like only "recicling papers". In reality, recicling is more than that. Anything can be recicled, but you need imagination for it to happen: broken objects as mirrors, desks, etc, can be used to form artistic things, without needing to buy a new one. Recicling is using anything that is no longer itself usable with many other thing to create somethin new.
Walking is another example, but in my case I realize about its importance when looking other reasons actually. I began walking when I didn't have to much money, or because the place was near home. but when I maked it many times, I realize how it was helping the environment. It was different when they told me why I should begin walking more than when you actually do it.
I think that point is fundamental for changing the point of view in our society about the environment. You do not only need to give the information, but also give the facilities to use, in the city, that information. More than T.V programs focusing in trivial events of X person, give documentaries about the matter. Give more options to go treeking and not so many stabs (e.g. as having to pay to visit a location)
maybe with that we could be greener and greener over time. For me, I will study more, and think what other things I could do for helping the environment.

Buzzing to your Muzzle!!
I really love my Dog. He is beautiful and friendly, and loves to play and sleep. But really, REALLY, he is kind of... well... stupid...
Even thouugh this happened a while ago, the first time at the beggining of November, is kind of funny to remember.
My dog, Kyo, a siberian husky, was playing at the garden meanwhile I was doing my lunch. Then, I took him upstairs and, while I was eating, I realized that his snout was really inflated. Even though I was terrified at that moment, I must admit that he looked quite funny.
Anyways, I took him fast to the veterinarian and she, after she inspect him, she realize that a wasp had bitted him within his mouth! He had an allergic reaction to its venom.
Then everything made sense! He was at the garden, looked the wasp, and tried to eat it!
After she gived him everything to cured him, I took him home and had him rest. All the family was worried about him, but not because of the wasp bite, but because He didn't do mischievous things all the month!
Maybe you will think "But that can happen to anyone" but, the thing is, that it wasn't the last! He did it again in December!
That time we took a photograph of him. Take your own conclusion but, for me, he really looked cute and funny those days!

Animals: Needed for Human Evolution
The article named Love of animals led to language and man's domination of Earth is about how humans needed to have
caring relationships with other animals for them to develop language and
thought.
The article says that human, after
looking over some species of predators, learned skills for avoiding them. They
began to realize what animals they could approach and what animals should be
avoided. They began to put in the minds of those animals and, after some time,
they tried to use that ability for using some of them as a help for hunting, as
is the case of dog, or for other functions.
This relationship was enhanced in time.
It helped us to be more empathic with other species and human beings, which make
it possible for enhancing the communicational abilities and languages.
The article says that it was the
relationship with animals that make us who we are but, with the actions that humans
are making towards the Earth and nature, and the technologies that are
improving day by day, this relationship could be in danger. Humans have evolved
gradually with the help of animals but, if that union is severed, it would be a
catastrophe.
