Pet intelligence wank
The Guardian: Cats outsmarted in psychologist's test.

You can imagine how well this goes with the readers. Besides the predictable flood of pet owner butthurt and anecdotes of clever / stupid cats / dogs / mice / owls, there are plenty of genuinely funny comments as well as a side wank on the validity of test methods and statistics, obligatory calls to talk about world hunger instead or discuss the intelligence of various nationalities, and, naturally, Hitler and his pets make a bonus appearance. I think one could play classical wank bingo in here, but some of the stories make it all worthwhile.

My puppy has just discovered the wonder of bugs. The other day he was very interested in what I thought was just a small bit of something on the carpet but which turned out to be small black bug that he was pawing at and sniffing, apparently trying to get it to cooperate and let him eat it (he was very unhappy when my mom got a Kleenex and took the bug away). This afternoon he was looking out the window and suddenly stood up and started pawing at the glass because there was another bug crawling around on the other side of the window, and he just couldn't figure out why he couldn't get to it.

My favourite moment from when my pooch was a pup was when a stinkybug landed into the room, and he would alternately paw at the bug and recoil from the stench; lather, rinse, repeat.
