1. What’s Going On with Jonah

Jonah Mowry made this video about being bullied right before he started eighth grade.

3. Who Left the Sculptures?
A fun mystery out of Scotland: Someone has been leaving little works of art made out of books in libraries across the country. A “poetree“  was found in he Scottish Poetry Library, a coffin and gramophone in the National Library of Scotland, a dragon at the Scottish Storytelling Center, and so on. Each was left anonymously with a note that said “A gift in support of libraries, books, words, ideas…” After months, a music librarian stepped forward saying he bought a sculpture the year before that had to be by the same artist, and so new the identity. But before he divulged, Scottish media polled the country to find out if they thought the artist should be revealed. The result? Let the mystery reign.

1. Great Dane Welcomes Soldier Home

After a long 9 months apart, Emmitt Thunderpaws is REALLY HAPPY to see his favorite person again! He smelled him in the house and then ran outside to greet him.

2. Facebook Gets a New Look
This week Facebook rolled out some changes to its layout, and — surprise! — a lot of people got angry about it. There’s now a news ticker in the top right corner featuring live updates from your friends (causing this great mockery), and instead of having separate pages for top stories and recent stories, it’s all in one feed now.  In the next few weeks, Facebook will be changing even more with a new profile page. If you know what’s good for you, get out the smelling salts.

3. Otis the Skydiving Pug

I don’t know whether this is truly okay, but I do know that I couldn’t stop grinning throughout this whole video. Otis’ owner insists the smushy guy is having fun (there’s a marked difference in how Otis reacts to skydiving and how he reacts to going to the vet), so hopefully these guys are just the perfect match for each other.

4. Web Cam 101 for Seniors

Bruce Huffman, 86, and his wife, Esther, 79, of the Hillside Retirement Community in McMinnville, Oregon recently purchased their first laptop computer –- with a built-in webcam. The result? Internet gold.
