The Black Seadevil, known for her great personality.

Here at Happy Place, we tend to focus on the cute, cuddly and adorable. In the interest of fairness it's only right that once in a while we show some love for nature's less adorable specimens. And they don't come much less adorable than the anglerfish, perhaps the butt-ugliest creature on this or any other planet.

This rare footage, captured by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute using a remote-controlled vehicle, is supposedly the very first video of a female anglerfish, which also goes by the much more sinister sounding "Black Seadevil."

The Seadevil lives in total darkness near the bottom of the ocean. Which, after watching this clip, sounds like a good place for her.

I have no idea who invented the body painting art form, but I'd be willing to bet that it was someone who got tired of being made to feel creepy for wanting to look at naked models contorted in all kinds of weird positions. However, as we've now learned, if you just smear some paint on those models, it's art! And nobody can make you feel bad for spending a long time looking at it very intensely.

So, we really owe a debt of gratitude to artists like Shannon Holt who make life so much easier for all of us:

Don't judge! Face-to-face human interaction has been dead since 2008. How else are we supposed to find love anymore, if not by posting and messaging each other a list of all the stuff we'd like to do to each other? Of course, sometimes your Facebook friends can get a little over-eager, maybe a little too excited to discuss their own anatomy, and that's when they end up on this list celebrating Facebook users trying to establish a romantic connection with no regard for their own dignity.

So your plane is delayed. You and your fellow passengers are searching each other, exchanging curious glances and welcoming body language, all of you wondering one thing: “How can I turn this missed connection into a love connection?”

Casual sex during a travel delay can be some of the hottest, filthiest, boundary pushing sex one can have during a holiday rush home to see their family. There’s a simple etiquette you can follow to make sure everyone has fun and no one gets hurt.

1. Names or no names? Decide in advance and stick to it.

When you and a fellow traveler decide you’re mutually attracted to each other enough to engage in a fleeting encounter in either the airport bathroom or the airport-adjacent Radisson, agree in advance on whether or not you’re going to go with real names, “Airport Names,” or no names at all. Unless one of you is TSA (which would be mega-hot, BTW), you don’t need to know each other’s names if you don’t want. Just ask, “Names or no names?” Then shake on it.

2. The one whose flight is leaving first gets to pick the position.

If your flight is delayed for twelve hours, but your travel sex partner’s flight is supposed to leave in three, your partner gets to decide how you two do it. They’re on a tight schedule, so if they can only ever finish when they’re on top, sorry, but you’re the bottom. Make sure your phones are set to receive travel alert texts. Updated delay times can switch up the dynamics in regards to who’s calling the shots.

3. No stealing kidneys!

We’ve all been there. You just finished having sex with someone you met at the airport. They hit the minibar too hard and are passed out cold. Maybe you should make the travel delay extra-beneficial by carving into their stomach, stealing their kidney, and putting them into the tub with a couple buckets from the ice machine and a note to call 911? Who doesn’t need an extra two thousand bucks toward Christmas presents?

Don’t do it! One kidney theft ruins travel delay sex for everybody. Word gets around and suddenly people are more cautious about opening up their bodies to complete strangers they meet on the moving walkway. On top of that, it’s just greedy. You just got to have travel delay sex! What more do you need? The memories from your rendezvous are worth way more than any money you’ll get from selling your travel sex partner’s organs.

4. Read your sex partner’s signals.

Those rules about overstepping your boundaries when you’re on a plane carry over into the travel delay sex bed. If you’re talking dirty a lot during the sex, and your partner picks up a book or puts on their headphones, that’s a "no" signal. They want you to pipe down and just let them enjoy the sex you’re having. If you want to keep going but your partner makes a show of putting on their neck pillow, they’re tired and they’d like the sex to stop so they can get some shut-eye. Reading each other’s signals is an easy way to communicate during travel sex without being impolite.

5. Save the tears for the in-flight bathroom.

It’s inevitable that after your travel delay sex, you’ll want to break down into tears over the fact that you still have to return to the life you were briefly able to forget during a short, ecstatic respite with a stranger. Save that stuff for when your plane’s in the air and the bathroom’s free. You’ll have more than enough time during your flight to sob into the plastic sink about the years of tedium that await you once you land. While having your travel delay sex, be in the moment. From the second you agree to go have sex and shake on it, to the second you check out of your hotel or rest room stall and make your way to your gates, savor it.

Given the current state of air travel, you’re only likely to experience a delayed or cancelled flight every other time you fly, so make this one count. It might be hours if not days before you get another chance to work out your frustration with some brief, anonymous airport travel delay sex.

Let Grumpy Cat free you from the oppressive bonds of Thanksgiving cheer >>

What lazy bum is taking this photo right now? (via Siberian Times)

It's not Thanksgiving in Russia tomorrow or ever, but these Russians who almost got stuck in Siberia were more determined to get home than Steve Martin and John Candy combined in Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Also, because they fixed the plane, they didn't need any trains or automobiles. This video was taken at Igarka airport, above the Arctic circle in the Krasnoyarsk Krai region of Siberia. Most of the passengers were oil and gas-field workers stationed in the far north, which explains why they didn't seem to mind the prospect of going outside in -52ºC (-61.6ºF) and pushing the plane until it could start.

Apparently, the wrong kind of grease had been used on the brakepads of the Tu-184, which was scheduled to fly back to the regional capital of Krasnoyarsk, and the wheels became frozen (although the rest of the plane remained serviceable). Once the passengers had pushed the plane, the turning wheels broke the ice and it could take off. Piece of cake! Let's just ignore the fact that if any of them had touched the exposed metal of the plane, there would also have been pieces of flesh frozen to the side of it.

The attacker is described as a toy bone approximately 4 inches long.

A pug puppy named Knefel was attacked recently in his own home by a toy bone in a brutal assault lasting nearly thirty seconds, and the entire episode was caught on tape. In the video posted by YouTube user Jak pies, you can see Knefel fighting off the assailant, who repeatedly lunges at him in an aggressive manner. The tape ends before the police arrive. There were no reports of injuries.

No, no, you're supposed to get out and spread sand on yourself while driving.

You can rehearse the correct response to your car skidding a thousand times, but you can never know how you'll respond in the moment until it actually happens. Will you keep a clear head, take your foot off the gas, and turn in the direction of the skid? Or will you freak the f*ck out, unbuckle your seatbelt, and try to abandon ship?

Apparently, the person filming "had warned the driver and passenger not to try to drive down the hill due to the ice." When she ignored them, they decided to sit back and film the inevitable disaster, but I can't imagine they thought it would go like this.

Stay safe(r than this lady) out there this winter.

"Think I need to give it another ten minutes."

Here's a list of things that Americans cannot get enough of, in no particular order:

1. Food.
2. Fire.
3. Nearly dying of one's own stupidity.

These are the things that bind us together as a culture. So, it only stands to reason that this Thanksgiving—that most American of holidays—many, many compatriots will tie all of these things together in misguided attempts to deep-fry their turkeys.

In honor of these brave citizens, let us watch this video of those who have nobly tried and gloriously failed in this highly dangerous culinary endeavor in years past:

Do not question if this is real.

"Dog Dance Party" is the name of this video from YouTuber Jaxson Rose. The description claims "Talented dog dances to hip-hop music"—specifically, "Low" by Flo Rida. But as many commenters note, it is unlikely that this dog is capable of dancing with his ears.

This is the sad state of our Internet. A video is posted. Its realness is questioned. The enjoyment of a simple, joyful video is ruined by cynicism and an obsession with ontological status.

Sure, that dog probably can't dance with his ears, but would it be wrong to just pretend for a moment?

In honor of Thanksgiving, let's take a moment to simply be thankful for all the videos the Internet gave us this year, whether real or fake. Let us offer gratitude that hundreds of years after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, we have the freedom to make our dogs' ears move in time to a beat. Let us rejoice that others have the means to watch and wonder and avoid conversation with their loved ones for 41 seconds.

After all, that's what the holiday season is all about. Happy Thanksgiving.

(by Shira Rachel Danan)

A force to be reckoned with.

A late-night standoff between a group of drunk Australians and cops this past weekend was brought to a halt with a spectacular dance-off. The group was partying outside of Irish Murphy's pub in Brisbane, and when the Tina Turner classic "Nutbush City Limits" came blaring through the speakers, the gang began doing a locally popular dance called the "Nutbush."

A group of cops who were assembled across the street, as part of the G20 Summit that was in town, spotted the dancers. Instead of busting heads, they decided to defuse the situation by busting out a few moves of their own.
