It looks like redditor adepssimius is getting married! Ben made a little change to their “save the date” announcements, and didn’t reveal it until after they were mailed. When Amy found out, she thought it was hilarious. If you can’t see the addition he made, you can click to enlarge the photo or see an exploded version at Imgur. Link -via reddit

What fun! Animate the raptor on your shirt with your sleeves! These shirts come in frog, alligator, and other styles for both children and adults from Mouth Man. And here’s some unexpected trivia: the Mouth Man shirt company was founded by bass player Ross Valory, founding and current member of the band Journey.

Sadie is a Pomeranian who ran away from her home in Iowa after being frightened by fireworks.

“Sadie was swooped up by an owl in the woods,” the AP reports. The dog was discovered when she fell out of the sky, landing in the middle of the road in front of a surprised driver, Jamie Padden. Padden had gotten out of the car to help the dog when she saw the owl returning.

The rest of the story is in the video, or you can read the text at Pawnation.

It’s been over six decades since Chuck Yaeger broke the sound barrier, but photos of fighter jets hitting Mach 1 has always fascinated us. Here’s a new photo of an Air Force F-22 Raptor  aircraft breaking the sound barrier while performing aerial maneuvers in the Gulf of Alaska:

The phenomenon is not well studied. Scientists refer to it as a vapor cone, shock collar, or shock egg, and it’s thought to be created by what’s called a Prandtl-Glauert singularity.

Here’s what scientists think happens:

A layer of water droplets gets trapped between two high-pressure surfaces of air. In humid conditions, condensation can gather in the trough between two crests of the sound waves produced by the jet. This effect does not necessarily coincide with the breaking of the sound barrier, although it can.

Just a hallway and two dudes who managed to be quite entertaining!
