"This is so bizarre, like, why is there a monkey at Ikea?"

That's the quote of the day from a shopper at a Toronto Ikea where a monkey broke free from its crate inside a parked car and started wondering the parking lot. A monkey at Ikea is strange enough... stranger is the jacket it was wearing. A thick winter jacket like the kind you'd wear let's say...in Toronto.

Animal services were called out and took the monkey into custody. The owner has been charged with owning a prohibited animal. Source

At what age should a woman stop trying to hard and try to look "more natural?" 59 years old is the limit for most women, according to a new study. Once you hit 59 it's time to say 'bye-bye' to:

  • high heels
  • red lipstick
  • tight clothes
  • false nails
Ladies -- I'm just a dumb guy, but I say ignore this survey and go with what makes you happy.  Except spandex.  And maybe leather pants.  Otherwise... go with it!   

How about you decide...

Poll: Do you agree? Should 59 be the cut off for heels, nails and tight clothes?

A man mentioned to his landlord about the tenants in the apartment over his. “Many a night they stamp on the floor and shout till midnight.”

When the landlord asked if it bothered him, he replied, “Not really, for I usually stay up and practice my trumpet till about that time most every night anyway.”
