This is a short clip of a Guatemalan chef demonstrating how to open an avocado with some well placed hand pressure, without the need for a knife. That’s handy(!), because knives and I do NOT get along. Honestly, I’m lucky to still have seven fingers. Still, I’ll probably still open

This is a video of a clever tabby cat named Cheeto tricking its English mastiff brother Larry into a gated pen, then casually closing the gate and escaping through a gap in the bars, locking the big dog inside. Larry, you fool! You can forget about playing poker with the
