"After nearly four years online, the Furtean Times is now closed. With falling readership and contributions since the middle of the year, followed on by an exploit in early September bringing the site offline, I have decided to close the website for good. It was my initial intention to rebuild the website from scratch to make it easier for users to contribute multimedia content (with greater focus on video content, especially), however this process was difficult and time consuming to complete while working alone. Having started university in September, I now have little time on my hand

"Something someone said the other day reminded me about the whole 'furries referring to their hands as paws' thing. So I got to thinking...if they really WERE paws...ya'll would be in trouble XD"

"Okamiden, the Nintendo DS sequel to the cult hit PlayStation 2 and Wii action adventure, will launch in the U.S. on March 15, Capcom said Tuesday. Released on September 30 in Japan, the cel-shaded Zelda-style game in which you play as an adorable tiny wolf god has racked up some quite positive impressions in its home territory. I've played the Tokyo Game Show demo and had a great time - not only are the graphics of the high quality you'd expect, but the camera and play controls felt great. I was also impressed with just how cute the main character is. If March is too long for you to w

"Investigators said the chats between Berlin and the boy took place on Berlin's work computer, his home computer and his Blackberry phone. His screen name was also linked to an online social networking site for "furries," a community based around the enjoyment of half-animal, half-human philosophies, according to court papers."

"Security flaws in a feature introduced to Fur Affinity this week have led to the indiscriminate hiding of comments throughout the site, after an attacker exploited flaws in the comment system. The attacker said their intention was to raise awareness of the issues, after being initially rebuffed by site coders. However, their actions hurt innocent users, including artists who found their commission references hidden."

"The world's longest cat measures more than 4 feet, stealing the record from another Maine Coone. The Reno Gazette-Journal reported that 5-year-old Stewie was certified as the new Guinness World Record holder after measuring 48 1/2 inches from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail bone. That's a little more than 4 feet long."

"Police say the thieves who stole a New York teenager's bicycle were, well, animals. Suffolk County police say two people in gorilla costumes and a third in a chicken suit took the boy's bike Monday in Rocky Point, on the north shore of Long Island. Police say the three confronted him while he was riding along Route 25A around 1:15 p.m. Police say one of the gorilla-suit suspects punched the teen in the head and knocked him off his bike, and the person in a chicken costume rode off on it. The ape-suit duo ran away. The teen was treated at a hospital for minor injuries. He's been

"Below, another viral trailer for Epic Mickey. I actually hate giving them so much free publicity, but this is a slick talking-head mini-doc on the history of Oswald The Lucky Rabbit. They score extra points for the cameos of books by pals Craig Yoe and Mike Barrier. Apparently creative director Warren Spector revealed all sorts of information about the game at this past weekend's NY Comic Con, which included this quote: "Epic Mickey is the first time Oswald ever had a voice of any kind. Oswald's voice is performed by Frank Welker." For the record, Oswald spoke frequently in many 1930s Walt

"Mike Myers used to joke that donning the 80 pounds of faux-latex blubber to play Fat Bastard in Austin Powers caused him to sweat so much that "by the end of the day, I was Pepé Le Pew." Vulture has learned that Warner Bros. Pictures is now developing a live-action/CGI movie on the lovelorn French skunk and Myers is attached to voice the lead role."

"Some of you knew this was coming. Partly because of Diamond dropping most of the independents. There's no way for us to get into stores, no guarentee we can give a printer, so we can't print a lot because my day job has to cover gas, rent, and food. But one thing I have always hated is when a series ends on a cliffhanger, with loose ends. Like HEPCATS, SPACE WOLF and so many others. I have lived with SHANDA for 20 years next year. She deserves a conclusion. So she'll get one."

"It is with sincere apology and great reluctance do I now officially announce that the current chapter of Concession, "The Butterfly Effect", is indeed the final chapter of the comic (though I may make the epilogue it's own chapter). I have thought about this a long time, but have very assuredly reached this conclusion weeks ago. Many reasons have brought me to this decision, because it would not be hard at all to carry Concession far past Joel's over-arching plot. Zoë, Clive, and Clarissa were created in the sole intention of switching over the focus to them upon conclusion of Joel's sto

"Well, this is certainly an odd one. Courtney Cox and David Arquette, one of the rare seemingly successful Hollywood married couples, joined forces with 30 Rock's Jack McBrayer to produce this PSA for OPCC, a social services group based in Santa Monica. The spot's very laudable goal is to bring attention to the problem of domestic violence. In a not super expected turn, they did this with yiffing. If you ever saw that episode of CSI with the furries and thought, "This is good, but I didn't get as many explicit shots of the sex acts as I would have liked," this one's for you:"

"British actor Simon MacCorkindale has lost his fight against cancer at the age of 58. The star, known for his role as Dr. Harry Harper on hit U.K. hospital drama Casualty, passed away at a London clinic on Thursday night with his wife, actress Susan George, by his side. MacCorkindale went public with his cancer battle last year, revealing doctors had discovered a tumour in his bowel in 2006. He learned the cancer was terminal after it spread to his lungs in 2007. The actor began his career in the theatre and made his West End debut in a production of Pygmalion. He shot to fame a

"Dear Margo: A friend of my husband is getting married. I barely know the man, and I've met the intended bride twice. A verbal invitation was extended to both of us. Oh, by the way, the bride requested that I not wear my ears to the wedding. Several years ago, my husband bought me a headband with little tiger ears on it. Ever since he put it on me, I've worn my ears everywhere, including to two weddings and a funeral. I've made them a part of my identity - my personal trademark, if you will. Going anywhere without my ears makes me feel self-conscious and only partially dressed."
