If you miss curling up next to someone in bed and holding hands all night long . . . well, I’m not going to say this is the next best thing. But it IS a thing.
A woman named Madeline Robertson was just granted a patent for a pillow that has a built-in cloth hand you can hold. She says the hand will be made of a different material than the pillow, so it feels different when you lock fingers with it.
There’s no word on if or when she plans on making these pillows. But hey, thanks to this patent, she’s the ONLY one who can make them. (Boing Boing) (Here’s the patent.)
Jake Stitt, a 17 year-old with cerebral palsy, was trying to raise $35K along with his family in order to purchase a wheelchair-accessible van.
This van was needed in order for Jake to more easily get around since it is tough for people to lift him up into the chair in a car. The family turned to the community for help and was super successful, but when Justin Timberlake caught wind of the story he decided to step in and contribute as well.
He went ahead and bought the van for the family!
GOOD NEWS!! This family now has an adaptive van for the holidays. 17 year old Jake, who suffers from cerebral palsy, got a very special surprise today. https://t.co/598i1IT9RN
My favorite holiday ever is when the McRib comes back.
Sometimes it’s hard to even remember that it was gone until McDonald’s announces that it is coming back to the menu. But when it does, you better believe I get as happy as Christmas morning and New Year’s eve combined!
And this time you can score yourself a free McRib when it is added back to the menu on December 2nd!
All you have to do is shave yourself and post a selfie with the hashtag #Shave4McRibSweepstakes and tag @mcdonalds and they might give you a code to a free McRib from Uber Eats!
You have to be one of the first 10,000 entries so start shaving!
I’m not sure people need an excuse to consume MORE chocolate at this time of year, but here’s one for you anyway.
According to a new study out of the University of Birmingham in England, drinking hot chocolate can make you SMARTER.
The researchers say it’s because of some molecules in cocoa called flavanols . . . and they make your brain work faster and more efficiently.
There’s only one downside: If your brain is already functioning really well, the flavanols won’t help you out. And since you’re a genius, that means you. But for the rest of us . . . bring on the hot chocolate.
Primus have announced a “one-of-a-kind” virtual concert called “Alive From Pachyderm Station”.
The band who gave us 90’s classics “Jerry Was A Race Car Driver” and “Wynona’s Big Brown Beaver” (and the theme from South Park) will deliver a set from Les Claypool’s own California winery Claypool Cellars.
“Strange, eclectically wonderful things tend to happen when the three of us get in a room together with our instruments. This will be an intimate and casual performance between three longtime friends as opposed to an elaborate ‘show’”.
“Alive From Pachyderm Station” will be broadcast on Friday, December 11th (8P Central). Check out the trailer here:

Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. finally both returned to the ring on Saturday night and it was better than anyone could have imagined.
It was a night highlighted by great fights, some awesome musical performances, Snoop Dogg commentating wizardry, and some knock out punches!
One of the biggest surprises of the night was the highly anticipated fight between former NBA player Nate Robinson and Youtube/annoying person Jake Paul.
Things did not go so smoothly for the three time all-star dunk champion…
Oh, then Jake Paul called out Connor McGregor.
Then of course there was the fight we all came to see.
Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr.
It was a GREAT time, Snoop comparing it to his uncles fighting at a BBQ.
Even with their age, both fighters showed some amazing skills and went the distance for a called draw in the exhibition.
But what do you think? Is Iron Mike Tyson back? Or did Roy Jones Jr. get the best of the baddest man on the planet?
