In case you missed it, an adorable monkey dressed in a shearling coat made its way into a Toronto Ikea yesterday. As far as we're concerned, it's probably the greatest thing that's ever happened in an Ikea (unless you *like* watching couples fight over 99 cent flatware, you monster).
Just because it's legal to do it on your own time in Colorado, doesn't mean you can drug your whole class. Two University of Colorado students in Boulder thought it would be funny to bring pot brownies to a morning class to share. Then a bunch of people who ate them had freak-
outs. Suddenly it was not so fun.
Here's a nice UPS man singing a Christmas song about how he's basically a modern-day Santa. He actually makes a good point. Plus, he can sing. Our favorite part is at the end when he offers up the disclaimer that he wasn't slacking on the job, since he's on a scheduled break. It makes us want to order so many packages online,
Roughly 800 people put on Santa costumes for the Fourth Annual Michendorf Santa Run in Michendorf, Germany. The race is sponsored by Laufclub Michendorf (which translated means Michendorf Running Club, imagine that) and is 10 kilometers long. You can't quite tell from these pictures, but it actually began snowing pretty hard during the race, which probably makes these the most Christmas-y photos ever. Enjoy!
Jonathan Mann has written a song a day every day for almost 1,300 days. Seriously. A lot of them are very silly, but he and his girlfriend broke up yesterday, and they did a song about that. It is maybe the best breakup song ever written, because of its sincerity, maturity and plea for friends to still invite both of them to the same parties.
Aside from that time when a cousin, without a trace of irony, sent a family Christmas card that was a picture of all the kids dressed up in hunting camo holding rifles, these are the best family Christmas cards ever. They were made by Redditor TPThatsMe, and if you go to the post on Imgur, you can also watch a video for how each of the photos came into being.
This new Christmas single from John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, which is supposed to be the sequel (song-quel?) to the 'Grease' classic 'You're the One That I Want,' has created a bit of a moral dilemma. Is it wrong to think something is totally worthless, even if it's for charity? Because this is just awful.
Because we can't all be in the Christmas spirit all the time, here is a gigantic supercut of all the "bah humbugs" from movies and TV shows. It's perfect those who hate eggnog and glad tidings, and those think that 'A Christmas Carol' is a classic and what a wonderful way to catch as many version of it as possible at once.
