A Colorado state Senator wants to know what has happened to his prairie dog. The two-foot tall statue seems to be having the time of its life.

State Sen. Ken Gordon, D-Majority Leader, has received several pictures of his prairie dog in different locations.

The first image showed the dog in a lawn chair on a tropical beach. The most recent image showed the animal in London wearing a sweatshirt from Gordon’s alma mater, Michigan.

“The prairie dog has been to Switzerland skiing off the Matterhorn,” he said. “Been to Scotland at Saint Andrews and been to Antarctica standing with a large group of penguins.”

The dog disappeared when the session started earlier this month.

Gordon said he’s not sure who is behind the kidnapping, but he thinks it is an inside job.

We are speechless:

On August 6th 2007, Mark Gagliardi drank a bottle of Scotch… And then discussed a famous historical event. That night history was made…Drunk History.

Lakai Fully Flared Intro

Here are several evenings of my life condensed into 3:38 of time lapse footage as I assemble the “Ultimate Collectors Millennium Falcon” LEGO set, the largest yet sold, with over five thousand individual elements.

My thanks to Matt Goodell for cutting me a great deal on this set. It was even better than new, since he even sorted out all the pieces for me. Thanks also to Judson “Cicada” Cowan for letting me use the track “Earth’s Assault on the Enemy A.I.,” one of my favorite tracks of 2007. Finally, thanks to Brian Lam and Jesus Diaz of Gizmodo who had the idea first but were kind enough to give me permission to run my version before theirs to celebrate the 50th anniversary. Thanks, everyone!

I captured one frame out of every 150. It’s a great set; much more fun to put together than the giant Star Destroyer. Far fewer repetitive sections. Now the ultimate question: keep it on my shelf to scare potential dates, sell it, or press its parts into service to build more ships of my own design?
