Most of us know sloths as the slow-moving, tree-loving creatures that take an entire month to digest a meal and only poop once a week.

I'm part sloth. Dang it.

Sloth is one of the seven cardinal sins, and this is big sloth.

So is seagull lust

There was a young fellow named Spiegel
Who had an affair with a seagull.
What’s worse (do you see?),
It wasn’t a she
But a he-gull and that is illegal.

Chris Christy is not quite that old yet, but his story is interesting.

Kristen Bell really REALLY wants Chris, though.

Having a pet sloth is one step up from having a pet rock...............

These also doubled as convenient latrines; in 1936, paleontologists discovered a mound of fossilized sloth poop, bat guano and packrat middens more than 20 feet thick in Rampart Cave, near Lake Mead.

You just *know* what those paleontologists said when they firat found it...

Maybe not, at least you can throw the rock at the sloth.

Paper covers pet rock.
Rock hits sloth.
Sloth eats paper - eventually.
