Described by Carl Zimmer as "one of my favorite wastes of time", The End Of The Pier Show is the online scratching post of Nature Editor, Norfolk resident and sometime "garage-band monster" Henry Gee and his amazing unicycling girrafes.
My colleague Ms M de J of Ventura, CA, sent me this adorable photo of girrafes giraffes (from sfgate.com, I tried to link to the actual site, honest, but she no work)
As ever, the best caption will win the coveted Order Of The Unicycling Girrafe (OOFTUG).

Mummy giraffe to daddy giraffe: ‘What do you mean, they don’t sell tandem unicycles with child seats?’
Not a caption but an observation. The two big giraffes only appear to have 6 legs between them. Conjoined ungulates.
Conjungulates give birth through mouth!

@Karen: HAHAHA!
Look, Frank. He has your spots.
The two big giraffes only appear to have 6 legs between them.
But only five hooves.
You’re very good with plasticine, aren’t you Gerald? You can’t tell it isn’t real until you touch it.
The SFChronicle posted this photo too: The baby is “6 feet tall and weighs 130 pounds.”
Shall we call him Bristol?
Junior, I told you that if you continued to misbehave, you’d get a licking as soon as your father got home from work.
Brian Clegg gets another OOFTUG to add to his collection.
