It’s Thursday. Some people build model airplanes in their garage. Others restore classic cars. And then there’s this guy, who apparently looked at the entire Star Wars universe and thought, “Yeah, I can probably make that out of cardboard.” Armed with nothing but shipping boxes, hot glue, and what had to be an unhealthy amount of free time, he recreated everything from X-Wings and lightsabers to helmets and full-size droids. Somewhere out there, George Lucas is turning in his grave. Oh wait—he’s not dead yet, is he?

It’s Wednesday. Yikes! We’ve had robot vacuum cleaners bumping into table legs for years, but now the mechanical help has finally moved up in the world. Robot maker Figure trained two of their humanoid F.03 robots to handle maid service, and honestly, it’s both impressive and slightly terrifying. Watch as one robot politely lets the other into the room, the pair straighten things up, and then team up to make a bed together—all without a single human lifting a finger. At this rate, the robots are about six months away from murdering us all and quietly disposing our bodies.

It’s Tuesday. Could it be? I think it is… yes folks, we have yet another wild beaver sighting! And while many of these legendary beaver encounters seem to originate up north in Canada, this one is proudly homegrown right here in the good ol’ U.S.A.

One of my readers, Richard, stumbled across Big Beaver Storage in Council Bluffs, Iowa, while innocently heading out for breakfast. Imagine trying to enjoy your bacon and eggs when suddenly—BAM—there’s a giant beaver staring you right in the face.

Over the years, readers have sent me countless beaver sightings, and I’ve started noticing a trend: many of these beavers are BIG. Like… suspiciously big. Which naturally raises the age-old question: is a BIG beaver better than a small beaver? Well, I suppose that depends entirely on your storage needs.

Possible slogan: “We’ll hold your junk longer than your last relationship.”

The wife and I were on our way to a diner in Council Bluffs, Iowa for breakfast when we spotted a beaver in the wild. Everyone loves a big beaver, right?
