7 5 Issue 70 / 2014 GUESTLIST guestlist.net Weird and Wonderful: Courageous street dog finds an unlikely friend A ten-day race through the Amazon Rainforest took an unexpected turn for a team of Swedish adventures A ten-day race through the Amazon Rainforest took an unexpected turn for a team of Swedish adventures after a stray dog decided to join them for the 430-mile Adventure Racing World Championship. After team captain Mikael Lindnord gave a meatball to the pooch, the partnership was sealed. Through mud, rivers and hillsides, from that moment on 'Arthur' never left their side. Now safely relocated to Sweden, Arthur has been receiving treatment for his health problems from a life on the streets. Arthur is making a speedy recovery. Lindnord posted on Facebook: "I came to Ecuador to win the World Championship. Instead, I got a new friend." Weird and Wonderful: ladies and gentlemen, the thagomizer! A look at the name of the tail of the stegosaurus Ever wondered if there's an actual term for the spiked end of a stegosaurus' tail? Well it turns out there is: The Thagomizer! Instead of being a villain's doomsday device the term was instead coined by short comic strip veteran Gary Larson. Not used scientifically until 1993 at the annual meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Palaeontology, by Curator of Palaeontology Ken Carpenter when describing a fossil, it has since become the informal term and used by several places including the Smithsonian Institution and BBC documentary Planet good neWs: Wishing manuel a happy Birthday, along With 42,000 others! A father creates a small appeal to his 23 Facebook friends for his son's birthday, it reaches over 40,000 people. Manuel Parisseaux is a young Frenchman with Down's Syndrome. Manuel's father, Lucien, appealed to his 23 friends on Facebook to send his son a birthday card for his 30th birthday and kindly requested them to share with their friends too. Little did he know that his son would receive 42,000 postcards from all over the world. "Manu wants to read letter by letter, card by card. One day he will read them all," he wrote. Lucien went on to invite publishers to contact him regarding creating a collection of all the heart-warming wishes he had received and sharing all of the beautiful stories. attitude of the month Months, what are they like? One month it's one month, the next it's another. Soooo temperamental. To keep up with the fast changing reputations of celebrities we have decided to keep track of who's having a good month and who's having a rubbish month in a... monthly (duh) feature called Attitude of the Month! We will also be checking in on what crazy shit Justin Bieber got up to. Shia LaBeouf has had a pretty bad month. Several weeks ago LaBeouf revealed that during his installation performance #IAMSORRY earlier this year, a woman whipped him for ten minutes, stripped him and 'proceeded to rape' him. His installation collaborators confirmed that there was an incident and that they intervened when they realised what was happening. LaBeouf has not commented again on the matter leaving people to either fervently attack or defend him, all in the absence of facts. LaBeouf made the claim in a Dazed interview, but this being LaBeouf, it wasn't a normal interview. LaBeouf thought it would be 'thoroughly metamodern' to split the interview into a write-up and a video. LaBeouf wanted to 'look into each others eyes for an hour connect on a soul level'. The result is an hour-long soul destroying silence. Bad month Shia. You've had a bad month. Over to you Justin. J-Beebs allegedly abandoned his puppy. He left the dog, an American bulldog ironically (we'll find out later if prophetically) called Karma, with a dog trainer in February. Now, the dog trainer claims the singer has not been back. He also says that Bieber has not responded to requests to take her back and has not contributed to her upkeep. Typical month for J-Beebs. this month: shia 'the Beef' laBeouf!
