MOOSE AND POLAR BEARS
Crazyass Japanese Thing of the Day: Mameshiba are a decidedly unappetizing race of dog-faced legumes that spout bizarre, unsolicited trivia nuggets.
They initially starred in a series of 20 interstitials produced by the Tokyo-based advertising agency Dentsu.
Here are all 20, in chronological order.

Sportsmanlike Conduct of the Day: A short while ago, LeBron James tweeted this photo of him and his Miami Heat teammates wearing hoodies in solidarity with Trayvon Martin’s family and friends.
According to the Palm Beach Post’s Heat Zone, James is the one who organized the photo and made it happen.
Earlier today, Dwyane Wade also tweeted a photo of himself in a hoodie along with the hashtag #trayvonmartin.

End Of An Era of the Day: Just over half a century since she was christened the eighth US naval vessel to bear the name “Enterprise,” the world’s first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is setting sail for the last time.
In addition to being the only one in her class, the so-called “Big E” is also the longest and oldest aircraft carrier currently in operation. That has presented many a problem for the warship’s 4,000-strong crew, who are often forced to resort to makeshift solutions in order to keep the old girl going.
“It’s kind of like when you get older and you know it’s harder to get out of the bed in the morning,” explains commanding officer Capt. William Hamilton. “It takes you a couple hours to kind of really get up and then you’re fine. Well, it’s the same sort of thing here with Enterprise.”
The USS Enterprise was originally slated to be decommissioned 25 years ago, but a ship-wide overhaul in 1979 gave the warship a second wind that lasted another 25 years.
She will eventually be put out to pasture in December, but before then, she’s headed to the Middle East for a seven-month stint during which she’ll be charged with providing support should tensions with Iran boil over.
When she returns home later this year, the Enterprise will receive a proper sendoff from the President, and then shipped to Newport News, where her nuclear fuel will be removed. Afterwards, it’ll be on to Washington state, where the rest of the ship will be scrapped.
There will be no floating museum: The process of removing the nuclear fuel would require repairs too costly to make.
Past and present crew members, however, don’t need a storage space for their memories. “Life is hard on Enterprise,” said Capt. Hamilton. “But when they leave here, they leave knowing if they can do this, they can do anything.”
