Because teamwork makes the dream work (or so I’ve heard — all my team projects in school usually failed and I got accusatory peer-evaluations), this is a short video of a group of turtles coming to the rescue of another that’s found itself floundering upside-down in a pond. Did Michelangelo

Because when in doubt, smack it with a hammer (that’s one of my mottos), this is a video of authorities at a school in China breaking smartphones to warn students not to use the devices on campus. Apparently students have to turn in their phones when they reach school grounds,
