Whether you are buckling down to brace the cold or savoring the final days of 80-degree weather, it’s the end of the week, and you’ve earned it. Celebrate with these funny news stories from the week:
A curious theft
Dogs often go viral on the internet, but this week, one is now famous for theft. Maggie, a dog from Long Island, New York, stole a pair of dentures from her owner’s dad and decided to sport the look.
The tweet has been retweeted more than 21,000 times and liked more than 51,000 times.
Weight Watchers
Have you ever binge ate out of avoidance? Well, 12 students in Seoul, South Korea, tried to avoid mandatory military service by sharing weight-gaining strategies and binge-eating pizza.
Because South Korea has the requirement for all able-bodied men to serve two years in the military before age 28 after passing a fitness test, the students tried to circumvent the service by retaining water weight and eating high-calorie foods.
For some, the strategy worked. Two have completed the alternative scheme while others are working in a community center as part of their service.
