Space is the Place

Today’s a weird holiday. It’s Hug A Shed And Take A Selfie Day! Okay then. Sheds can be used for tool storage, art studios, or cool spaces to hang out, but do they really need a hug? It’s also Astronaut Day and Nail Day. Give yourself a manicure, and learn about living in space.

Distance Thanks

Today is Teacher Appreciation Day. Be sure to give them extra thanks, even the ones that are tough on you. Different teaching styles and personalities, help you learn to work with all kinds of people in life. Teachers have missed their students while schools are closed, and we miss them too! Thank you Teachers!

Curators Battle for Creepiest Objects

Recently, the Yorkshire Museum in England issued a challenge. They asked museum curators around the world, to post images of their creepiest objects.

Maybe He Didn’t Like Italian Food

A bear in Italy, has finally been captured after 10 months. The bear, nicknamed Papillon, had escaped from the Trento Province nature park, back in July.

Thank a Firefighter

Every year, wildfires focus attention on firefighters everywhere. But they’re also working every day, putting out house fires and blocking off traffic accidents. They’re investigating smoke alarms, teaching fire safety to students, and rescuing animals trapped in unusual situations.

I Have a Bad Feeling About This

May the Fourth be with you. I mean the Force! May the 4th is Star Wars Day, so get your light sabers out, and watch your favorite Star Wars movie. If you want to have a marathon and watch every single one, it’ll take over 22 hours. You’d better already be watching!

My Win is Bigger Than Your Win

A Canadian woman in British Columbia, earned her bragging rights. When her husband texted to say he’d won $10 on his lottery tickets, she went to check her tickets. She sent him a text back, saying she thought she had him beat. She’d won $360,000! I don’t think her husband will mind losing that contest.

Thousands of Visitors at the Door
