Chris Burd, 27, was engaged to his fiancée when he and his relatives were looking through his old childhood photos. They noticed that one of them, taken when he was 13 years old, showed him sitting on the lap of a mall Santa Claus. That Santa Claus was his own future father-in-law:
“My mom was going through old photos and said she thinks one of my old Santa pictures was me sitting on my fiancé’s dad’s lap,” Chris told ABCNews.com. “And I just told her she’s nuts. So later in the week I went over to the house and saw it and decided it wasn’t him. But later on, I took a closer look and was like, ‘Oh my God. That’s Liz’s dad.”
Chris and Liz Burd had just gotten engaged last December, right around the same time Chris’s mother, Charlene Burd, was pulling out pictures from past Christmases to use for a holiday scrapbook gift.
“Right after we got engaged, my now-mother-in-law was looking through pictures and at first glance was like, ‘No, that cannot be,’” Liz said. “In the six years we had been together, this picture had never come up. She [Charlene] looked closely and thought, ‘Wow. That looks like Elmer.”

Fiona Apple is postponing her South American concert tour to be with her dying dog, Janet. Her message explaining the decision was posted at Facebook.
I have a dog Janet, and she’s been ill for almost two years now, as a tumor has been idling in her chest, growing ever so slowly. She’s almost 14 years old now.I got her when she was 4 months old. I was 21 then ,an adult offi
cially – and she was my child.
She is a pitbull, and was found in Echo Park, with a rope around her neck, and bites all over her ears and face.
She was the one the dogfighters use to puff up the confidence of the contenders.
She’s almost 14 and I’ve never seen her start a fight ,or bite, or even growl, so I can understand why they chose her for that awful role. She’s a pacifist.
Janet has been the most consistent relationship of my adult life, and that is just a fact.
But that's just the beginning -the rest will make you run for the tissue box. Read the whole story at Uproxx. Link
Some thrill seeking Halloweenies from Bogota, Colombia put together this two-person roller coaster costume and brought the thrill of the theme parks into their everyday lives.
Not only is this a clever costume capable of "simulating" all the banks and drops of a real coaster, it's the only ride I've ever seen without people waiting in line to get on!
