What is the status of dying dictator Fidel Castro these days? It's hard to get a fix with all these conflicting reports. But you just know that if Hugo Chavez is publicly upbeat then in reality things are probably not looking good.

Chavez said he was pleased to hear from Cuban Vice President Carlos Lage that the 80-year-old Cuban leader was making a recovery. Lage, after meeting with Chavez, said: "We will have Fidel and we will have Raul for a lot more time."

Their hopeful remarks came less than a week after Chavez said Castro was "battling for his life."

It also reminds me of this famous sketch:

How long will it be before Chavez tries to assure us the Castro is merely pining for the fjords?

Listen, guys. Valentine's Day will be here before you know it. So if you're stumped for gifts this year, this clip from SNL may inspire, so...

One particular word makes it NSFW, so if you have headphones this would be time to use them.

If it ain't foolproof, I will not allow sharp objects anywhere near my boys.

Surprise Chimp Born In Lousiana Sanctuary, despite all the males having been snipped!

Now managers at Chimp Haven are planning a paternity test for the seven males who lived in a group with Teresa, a wild-born chimpanzee in her late 40s who had the baby girl last week.

Workers have started collecting hair samples from the chimps for testing. Once they identify the father, it's back to the operating room for him.

"Get your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty humans!"

2 Oh, come on. It's not like that's the most attractive part of a man's body. Husband had one, three years ago, and he's just fine. His voice hasn't even gone up or anything!

3 Vic, watch how you phrase that. "It's not like that's the most attractive part of a man's body. Husband had one, three years ago, and he's just fine." I had to do a double-take on that one.
