Yes that boxer is 36 year old Tonya Harding.

Tonya Harding is one of today's Lycos 50 movers & shakers.

HALLOWEEN PET SAFETY TIPS
Everyone seems to talk only about safety tips for kids tonight while Trick or Treating, but we can't forget our furry friends...

As 'pet parents' ourselves, we touched in with our veterinarian and the ASPCA to get the top Halloween pet safety tips:

*Keep your cuddly pals in a separate room during peak trick-or-treat hours. The cacophony of unusual people at your door may be scary and stressful for your pets.

*No treats for your pets. Keep all candy out of reach. Chocolate can be poisonous to animals, and candy wrappings can be hazardous if swallowed.

*Watch out for the 'lethal wagging tails' or curious kittens near lit pumpkins or other haunted flames. Pets can knock them over.

*Don't leave your pet in the yard on Halloween. As much as it pains us to say this, there have been stories of cruel behavior to our furry friends on this night.

FREE CREDIT REPORTS
Yesterday we wrote about Free Credit Reports on The Lycos 50.

There is only one site where you can get your free credit report without any strings attached.
Annual Credit Report.com

The Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act, which entitles every person in America to a free credit report each year. There are three main credit agencies - Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, and you are entitled to a free report from each of them once a year.

FREAKY GHOST?
Strange but interesting. This is a car advertisement from Great Britain. When they finished filming the ad, the film editor noticed something moving along the side of the car, like a ghostly white mist. The ad was never put on TV because of the unexplained ghostly phenomenon. Watch the front end of the car as it clears the trees in the middle of the screen and you'll see the white mist crossing in front of the car then following it along the road... Spooky.

Is it a ghost, or do you think it's mist? You decide.

Great way to get you in the Halloween spirit...

POOP-A-SCOOPER
Thanks to our friend Andrew who says this site takes the biscuit. He wrote, "To follow on from your pop culture post we could have on poop culture. The site is all about a blow up poop-a-scooper!"

To see for yourself what Andrew is talking about, check out EZEE Dog.com

They have developed, The Ezeedog which is a fully disposable, inflatable no touch dog poop catcher. Using an Ezeedog keeps the poop off the ground and you don't have to touch it with your hands.

PS We are always open to your latest and greatest site suggestions...
