My guess for the mystery picture would be an X-Ray machine. Pretty scary too.
Your "Cat's rapture" picture is originally an internet meme called longcat, it's real name is "Nobiiru" (のび〜る, meaning "streeetch"). There are dozens more photoshopped pictures of this cat.
The owner and original picture can be found at

and some other pictures at

The last pic with the baby is a very early x-ray machine...
Koala bears? Oh come on, I expected better from this site. Koalas are marsupials, not bears.
Demarche of the penguins?
Thanks for the info - updated - March of the penguins, lol
I like the SimCity 2000-esque Archology. Pretty cool. Pretty scary, too. I don't know if I'd feel comfortable living in something like that. Looks like it would be neat, but dangerous, too.
