The Best Thing I've Ever Read on CRACKED.com

4. Did you see the video where it tries to climb?
It's so cute. Who knew a porcupine with hiccups that doesn't like strawberries could be so cute.

8. Surprisingly, there's nothing tasteless about it
It's actually quite profound.

I'm going to have to add Cracked to my morning "read".
