Museum of Non Primate Art (MONPA)
http://www.monpa.com/
The webpage says that "The Museum of Non-Primate Art aims to preserve the movements, marks and sounds of non-primate species and consider them, without prejudice, as modes of aesthetic communication, in the hope of gaining new insights into our world." Is there really a "British Council for Feline Aesthetic Advancement?"

My Generation
http://www.aolvideoblog.com/2007/04/17/worlds-oldest-rock-stars/
"Despite appearances, these aren't your ordinary grandparents. The Zimmers are the world's newest oldest (literally!) rock band and, apparently, they are taking serious aim at the pop music charts. In the video below, the seniors are performing a cover version of The Who's hit, "My Generation." The lead singer is 90 years old, but other group members are even older, edging toward 100. The band came together thanks to Tim Samuels -- a documentary filmmaker -- who claims that 'this is about old people sticking it back to the society that has cast them aside.'" (from the website)
