Someone Invented a Pillow with a Built-in Hand to Hold
I’m not sure if I am ok with this …
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.)

Justin Timberlake buys teen with cerebral palsy a wheelchair-accessible van
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
— Sam Luther (@SamLuther_) November 25, 2020
He hopes that the money that the family has already raised can go towards medical expenses that Jake will have to face in the future.
What a great story!
She thought he was cheating, it was actually a proposal!
Cheaters are not cool people.
This woman thought she had caught her boyfriend messing around behind her back. Turns out she was wrong in the best way possible!
They get extra points for the romantic gesture but lose points for trust.
That seems important right? Especially if you’re planning on being with this person for the rest of your life!
Oh well, congrats to these two!
The McRib is back
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!
THE MCRIB IS BACK WHAT A DAY!
Body Builder marries beloved sex doll
You know there have been a lot of weird things to happen this year.
Somehow, a body builder marrying his sex doll isn’t the weirdest!
I can’t tell you any reason behind the marriage besides that they are in love.
Their ceremony was pretty romantic too!

Love is such a beautiful thing, isn’t it!
Congratulations to the happy couple.
Drinking Hot Chocolate Can Make You Smarter?
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.
Going down to Les Claypool’s..
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:
Chicagoland Police Scanner Weekend Roundup

Part 2 – Second Call – 2:42 PM – Possible assault happening across the street. There’s a man screaming “I’m going to f’n kill you”.
Part 3 – Officer Response – 2:59 – Man bought a live turkey from Craigslist and was attempting to kill it in the backyard to teach his family about a traditional thanksgiving. Animal control is in route to gain possession of the turkey. The turkey was not injured.
Saturday – 8:09 PM – 102 W. Division – Jewel bathroom – Man refusing to remove his pet tortoise from toilet.
Sunday – 3:34 PM – Hyde Park – Whole Foods – Woman scooped mash potatoes in her pocket. She is walking around the store eating them with her hands. When approached she said she brought the potato’s from home. She left without dispute.

This chalk mural is trippy!
People never cease to amaze me.
How is it possible for someone to create a drawing like this!?!?
So cool!
Dave Chappelle doesn’t want you to stream ‘The Chappelle Show’
Ok this might seem strange, but Dave Chappelle doesn’t want people to stream the Chappelle Show which was recently added to both Netflix and HBO Max.
He has a pretty good reason though.
Luckily Netflix respected their relationship with Chappelle and took the show off their platform, but it is still up on HBO Max.
Make sure to go over those contracts!
Hopefully your Thanksgiving wasn’t as stressful as this person’s
Although Thanksgiving may have been a lot smaller this year, it still was probably stressful for whoever had to prepare the meal.
Hopefully for you it wasn’t as stressful as this person’s turkey preparation…
She dropped the turkey! That’s like rule one on what not to do!
Get your kids the present they want or this could happen!
Kids can be persistent on what holiday gifts they want.
It can be tough for parents because sometimes those presents are pricey.
Sometimes it might be better to just bite the bullet and get them what they want, because this could happen…
All because of a bag!
Good luck on your holiday shopping parents!
Mike Tyson Vs Roy Jones Jr fight night was electric!
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?

This Billie Eilish music video is never the same twice.
The number of times you could watch this “Bad Guy” video from Billie Eilish? Infinite.
That’s because a website powered by machine-learning is creating random combinations of cover videos of the song. It would take you 1.46 x 10 to the power of 100 years to see all the versions. So get watching. (Plus, it’s a cool way to see all the ways people have covered it)
YouTube called this the first infinite music video — but a lot of Twenty One Pilots fans were none-to-pleased about that — considering their never-ending video came out this summer. — [eric]
Watch Mike Tyson & Roy Jones Jr. face off before PPV fight
It has been dubbed the ‘Lockdown Knockdown’ with tonight’s exhibition fight on pay-per-view with two all-time boxing greats squaring off with ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson (50-6, 44 KO) and Roy Jones Jr (66-9, 47 KO). Outside of the superstar names, the bout has been garnering attention with unique rules for the fight under the California Athletic Commission, who has stated no official winner will be announced according to Sherdog. The fight will be contested in 8 2-minute rounds due to both fighters not agreeing to wear headgear. Commission officials have also stated a serious cut could end the fight and no knockouts will be allowed. The fight be judged by ex-fighters.
The fight will be on pay-per-view at 8 pm CST for $49.99 through traditional PPV providers and the FITE app on various streaming devices.
In a September interview with Joe Rogan, Tyson talked about how his wife told him he was a bit overweight, and reinvigorating his workout regime launched him into an intense journey back to the ring. The former world heavyweight champion detailed how four-division champion Jones became the opponent to get him to return to the ring for his first fight since 2005. Tyson notes this could start off a “legends only league” to get exhibition presentations with legendary figures in all sports.
Watch ‘the Movie Show’ roast the idea of movie talk shows
There are thousands of people talking about movies online like it was the only thing in the world. The fandom of the film creates some interesting characters in its own right, which is why this new SYFY show looks like must-see TV.
‘The Movie Show’ sees loveable smart asses Alex Stone and Adam Dubowsky voice the puppets Wade and Deb who are two conflicting TV hosts on a cable access TV show that reviews movies with demented spin-off sketches, ‘exclusive deleted scenes’, and much more. The new comedy series debuts tonight at 10:30pm CST/ 11:30pm EST on SyFy. You can also catch the debut on Sunday at the same time. You can catch new regular episodes Thursdays at 10pm CST/11pm EST in December. Watch the trailer and some teaser footage here.
A press release for the series says future ‘guests’ on the show include Bruce the shark from “Jaws”, Steven King’s laptop, the T-Rex from “Jurassic Park,” and Splinter from “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”. Yes, no blockbuster movie franchise except maybe Blockbuster Video since it does not exactly exist at the moment.
