This video we just could not resist. What we have here is a group of Irish boys, wearing cow masks and rapping to, 1990s boyband, Five's "If you're getting down baby". What could be more normal than that?
As the creators, Master Massey and Shyhhy Welly, say on their Vimeo account "This was quite an easy and fun one to do: Dutch Gold, sun, cow masks and a camera; what could possibly go wrong?"
Well at least that explains a lot, Dutch Gold was it?
The IWO site has put together an amazing slideshow of photos, sent in by their readers.
The shots show Ireland's beauty in fall, from sun and blue skies to dramatic shots of cloud formations that look like mini-tornadoes.

The new iPhone app "Talking Woody the Leprechaun" may be for kids but you can be sure that adults will be getting Woody to repeat phrases like "Where's me Lucky Charms".
Just like a digital talking parrot Woody's app allows you to record a phrase and have Woody repeat the phrase back to you in an every so 'begorrah, bejaysus' accent.
Woody's described as a "digital hooligan" that "will repeat anything users say, react to their touch, and even grant users a pot of gold should they wish for it!"

A two-week-old kitten survived a five-day, 166-mile trip from Ireland to northern England trapped in a dumpster full of cardboard.

No, this isn’t extra footage from “Father Ted” this is the uniquely Irish duck race.
On Sunday afternoon at the Castlemaine vintage town fair, County Kerry locals turned out to enthusiastically support the “2011 Castlemaine World Championship Duck Race”.
Although the winning race participant was hard to track down it seems that duck number 44 was first to make it across the line / get into the goal at the local field.
