So let's start with the elephant in the room, I did not receive my expected cards and gifts for Canada Day from you, my beloved readers.  Not one traditional celebratory cookie bouquet or honey baked ham.  What do you mean I just made that up?  Fiiiiiiine, I just like ham. Still, Oh Canada, eh?

Well I may have made up the Canada Day cookie bouquet thing, but its no weirder then how these celebrities celebrate the 4^th of July (Crushable)

Also, your Presidents had some weird (and some neat) honeymoons (The Awl)

I will never not be a sucker for “kids do a good deed” stories (Great Falls Tribune)
