If you’re a Facebooker (who isn’t these days), would be cool if you joined the group and show your support, I just started it so its kind of lonely at the moment!

Nissan Cube the Second Octuplet Mom this year - 3rd in history
Posted on April 15th, 2009 No commentsVANCOUVER - There are unconfirmed reports tonight that Octuplets have been born at a local hospital here - making this the second set of Octuplets born in less than a year and the third ever in recorded history.
The mother, whose name has not been released by hospital officials due to privacy concerns, and the 8 newborns are said to be in good condition. One intrepid reporter was able to snap a quick somewhat blurry photo through the 5th story hospital window of the room the mother is said to be residing. At this point the remains unconfirmed, but it does appear that there are 8 identifiable newborns in the picture.
While unable to confirm the authenticity of the photo Chief Medical Doctor Ray Charelston did agree that, “it looks like there are 7 Nissan Cubes and 1 ‘Twitter bird’ in the photo.”

The Nissan Hyper Cube Dance - huge hit in Germany
Posted on April 14th, 2009 No commentsI’m doing a lot of research on the history of the Nissan Cube car now that I’m a finalist in the Nissan Hyper Cube contest. I’m finding the most amazing little factoids.
Did you know that there’s actually a Hyper Cube dance? I won’t blame you if you don’t it’s not that well known here in Canada, but it is a HUGE in the EU, especially Germany.
Check it out:

Nissan Cube Saves Baby Whale
Posted on April 13th, 2009 No commentsVANCOUVER - In a story usually only seen in Hollywood, a Nissan Cube saved a baby whale off the coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.
Coast Guard received a call from a local whale watching tour operator at 9:34 am yesterday that a Gray whale calf at 9:34 am yesterday that a Gray whale calf appeared to have been separated from its mother in a storm the night before. Coast Guard ship Captain, Neil McKredulous gave us exclusive details on how the story unfolded and the dramatic rescue.
“When we got the call about the little fella’ we tried our best to get a vessel out to take a look right away, but unfortunately all our ships were at a press conference photo op on the Saint Lawrence with the Prime Minister,” says McKredulous.
Without a boat, McKredulous and his crew had all but given up hope of a rescue when they received a call from a Nissan Cube reporting that it had spotted the baby Gray whale. “We get this call from a friggin’ car calling itself the ‘Nissan Cube’ telling us it’s in a friggin’ rowboat and its managed to lasso the baby whale and take it back to its mother. We thought it was a prank, until we saw the picture.”
The picture was taken by local fisherman Charles Carraway who witnessed the touching moment when the Nissan Cube and the Gray whale said goodbye for the last. “A very touching moment between nature and car,” commented Carraway.
