Stools: they’re disgusting to look out. “You do realize we’re talking about seats and not turds, right?” Oh — what’s the matter with those? Well apparently something, because Icelandic minimalist designers Erla Dögg Ingjaldsdóttir and Tryggvi Thorsteinsson of Minarc have created the HiDDenSit, a kitchen island with stools that appear

Because the Yellow Brick Road isn’t going to follow itself, this is a clip from a home’s security cam footage that captured the moment the neighbor’s 70-pound Labrador Retriever Duke was lifted up and spun around by a dust devil (watch in front of the orange car). Man…how do you
