hybrid
esiegel | July 31, 2013"You can't exactly bake a man to your specifications... A hybrid of Einstein, Tarzan and Inge Meysel doesn't exist." -Peer Steinbruck
Of course, if you create enough chances, all the things that could eventually happen will come to pass. This is as true for human beings as it is for the physical Universe. And for our planet, our nearest major neighbor in the Universe -- the Moon -- provides us with a huge variety of sights, if only we're willing to wait.

Every 27.3 days, the Moon makes a complete orbit around the Earth, traveling a full 360° through space. As it…
kthompson | August 21, 2009We here at Zooillogix have been sitting on this story for a while. We were afraid of just how much public outrage it could generate. But since we are morally obligated to bringing our readers the most up-to-date zooillogical news, often regardless of scientific proof, we've decided to go ahead with it.
Here it is: The following picture is NOT actually a photo of a golden retriever-human hybrid.
That's right. It's a cruel hoax. I know, I know... I was entirely convinced, too. Unfortunately, it's just a part of zartist Patricia Piccinini's exhibition, "We Are Family."

kthompson | July 24, 2009The fear mongers over at National Geographic are at it again. They have released what they claim to be actual prehistoric photographs of nightmarish creatures. Just think of your most feared animal and combine it with either a cooking utensil or a wood shop tool. That might give you an idea of how National Geographic came up with these things.
The CraftsMan-Eating Shark, known for its ability to sever the limbs of its victims with a straight or beveled cut.
I smell "evolution" and I don't like it.
I came up with one of my own:

illconsidered | January 9, 2009So it seems there is another advantage to owning a hybrid! It can double as an emergency generator in case of a blackout:
WHERE WAS YOUR HYBRID WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT?
Ever been caught with no power in the midst of a winter storm and not have a generator? Well, if you have a hybrid, you may not need one. An enterprising Boston man hooked up his house to his Toyota Prius recently during a three-day-long power outage. The Boston Herald reports: "John Sweeney of Harvard, Mass., has provided a tantalizing glimpse of the future. ... Sweeney, an electrical engineer, told the Boston Business…
zooillogix | July 4, 2007The accidental product of a study abroad program in Italy, Eclyse is a visually fascinating example of mixed genetic material. Eclyse's mother was a zebra living at a German safari park. When she was sent on loan to Italy, she was allowed to roam free in an enclosure with both horses and zebras. Upon her return to the amusingly named Schloss Holte Stukenbrock in Germany, keepers were surprised to find she was pregnant but even more surprised to see the young foal. Called a "zorse" or a "zebroid" (pretty much lose, lose if you ask us), typically the offspring of a zebra and horse have stripes…
