"I am sad to say that today I lost not only a dog but my best friend of 12 years... love you buddy," tweeted Vinny Guadagnino, star of the famed reality show Jersey Shore. Any pet lover out there can commiserate with Vinny, whose beloved pitbull, Jelly, passed in October.
While many people know Vinny for his less tenderly moments that unfold on Jersey Shore (we've seen him at the gym, we've seen him tanning, and yes, even doing laundry), few people know him for the pet lover that he is.

The story serves to highlight the fact that pet lovers are ubiquitous and often found in people that would seem unlikely candidates.

Yesterday, when "Avatar" officially became the highest-grossing film of all time (besting "Titanic," which many people thought held a record that could never be broken), we took a look at a handful of other historic numbers that are entirely safe from challengers. Because "Avatar" won't stop making money (and because it keeps putting distance between itself and "Titanic"), here are six more records you can confidently wager on never being broken.
UCLA's Seven Straight Ncaa Basketball Championships
The sports world takes records very seriously, and it takes streak-related records even more seriously. Joe Dimaggio's 56-game hitting streak is always talked about in hushed tones, as is Cal Ripken, Jr.'s consecutive games played streak (that's 2,632 straight for anybody counting). But those records just take a combination of will and luck, whereas UCLA's dominance in basketball from 1967 to 1973 was a remarkable show of skill. In fact, UCLA won a total of 10 titles in 12 seasons,...
