In The News:

Ever heard somebody say "been there, done that, got the t-shirt"? Well you'll never hear Sam Barsky say that. Why? Because Sam doesn't buy t-shirts. He knits sweaters. Featuring different places. And then he goes to those places and photographs himself wearing his sweaters of those places.

From Stonehenge, London's Tower Bridge, and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, to less well-known landmarks such as roads, aquariums, and random pylons, Barsky and his sweaters make even the most mundane locations seem suddenly rather interesting.

Check out the pictures below to see for yourself.

A North Carolina man jumped in front of a snowplow to flag down a ride to the hospital for him, his daughter... and his wife who was in labor.

On Sunday (Jan 8), the family was heading to the hospital when their truck broke down. Hugh Dawson, a middle school teacher, flagged down a passing snowplow who gave them a ride to the hospital. Upon arriving, they found the front doors locked! About 15 minutes after finding the right door – the emergency room entrance around the corner – Stephanie had a healthy baby boy, whom they named Brayden.

The identity driver of the snowplow remains a mystery…

Bible Trivia Question:
Who was the father of Samuel

- Daniel

- Eli

- Elkanah

- Saul

Trending Video:

While music may soothe the savage beast, it's no match for a cranky toddler. For a job that big, only the cuteness of a newborn baby sister will do.

Or at least that's what happened at the house of Esther Anderson one fall morning.  She was tending to her infant daughter Tessa when toddler Ellia woke up and came downstairs distraught.

Prepared for the worst, Anderson pulled out her smartphone to send a video chronicling what she thought would be just the latest installment of child-rearing chaos to her husband. Of course, Anderson was pleasantly surprised when, instead of a tantrum, she witnessed the best example of sisterly love a mother could ask for. Finding comfort in the presence of her newborn sister Tessa, Ellia said, "I love her so much."

More News:

Capt. James Hale of the Oconee County Sheriff's Office in Georgia has earned a new nickname, “Llama Whisperer” for his role in capturing an escapee with a carrot. On Thursday, officers responded to a reports of a runaway llama in Athens. As social media happily kept up with the story, deputies followed the brown-and-white creature as it took its harrowing stroll through busy traffic at the beginning of rush hour. Eventually, they were able to corral the llama near a dumpster behind a fast-food restaurant with help from workers who offered up carrots as a lure.

The question…. did it just want to go for a stroll, or was it concerned about the weather forecast this weekend and was attempting to buy bread and milk?
