Joy Joyously Welcomes Kuwam, Kalika, Keladi, and Kanya!

What a clown this cub is!

What a clown this cub is! Mama lion Joy gave birth to four cute lil ones all kissed with "k" names and, lucky for us, there are tons of pictures!

They look like quite the playful bunch and already quite a handpawful, but these parents seem to have things under control. Even though babes are born with spots, these will fade as they grow big and strong.

So, when I came across a photo of Google's Zurich office, I wasn't very surprised, so much as I felt a pang of jealousy — although, I can't complain about Sugar HQ's swank new space.

While bouncy balls also float freely there, you may, in addition, hold a conference in a gondola car bedecked in ski gear or wrapping in a fishing net, take a break on a massage chair in an aquarium, brainstorm with co-workers while sitting in a canoe, spend a delicate few competing in Guitar Hero, or shoot down to lunch on a playground slide. Anything goes in the space, which one person described aptly as "kindergarten for adults." To hear more and see lots of images, read more
