"It doesn’t matter if you go running every morning, or you’re a regular at the gym. If you spend most of the rest of the day sitting - in your car, your office chair, on your sofa at home - you are putting yourself at increased risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, a variety of cancers and an early death. In other words, irrespective of whether you exercise vigorously, sitting for long periods is bad for you."
— Olivia Judson (NYT) (I’m shocked- shocked- to learn that sitting down for 9 hours a day is bad for your health.)

A chandelier made of gummi bears? I’ve said it once, and will say it again- Great job, Internet! (The chandelier, by the by, is made up of more than 5,000 gummi bears and takes over 2 months to complete. Price available upon request.) (Via)

Listen. I went to college. I very often have been known to read books that don’t (necessarily) have pop-up shapes or pictures in them. None of that changes the fact that I laughed until crying the first time I saw this video aptly names “Chimpanzee riding on a Segway.”
Yes it’s from a Japanese TV show- why do you ask? (Shout out to none other than my Dad for passing on this gem of a video.)

"In any world menu, Canada must be considered the vichyssoise of nations — it’s cold, half-French, and difficult to stir."

A video of multiple dogs going crazy and barking when they hear the Law & Order theme song? Great job, Internet! (Via)
