Neil Fletcher and his brother Michael were hunting in Dowling, Ontario, when they spotted a bald eagle stuck in a trap. The eagle had caught one of its talons in a claw trap used by fur trappers. They slowly approached the large bird, and draped a sweater over its head to keep it calm while they freed its leg. For the most part, the eagle did remain calm, and after some time they were able to free it from the trap. They were wise to be cautious, as eagles are complete bad asses that have been known to knock drones out of the sky for sport.

After the rescue, they realized it was a rare opportunity to take a very unique selfie. Before setting the eagle off to magnificently cruise the forest, they posed for this picture:

The eagle is likely fist-bumping the bros.

Since the selfie went well, they also deicded to get a video of the final release:

One day, in the future, the Fletcher brothers are going to be in a tight situation. Their car might be perilously hanging off a bridge, or they could be outnumbered in a fight outside a bar. At some point, just when it appears that all is lost, this eagle is going to swoop down and save their lives. Then it's going to land on a perch, turn it's head and wink, and fly off never to be seen again.

Adele's new bodyguard, Peter van der Veen, is making the Internet swoon. He was previously a hired goon for Lady Gaga, and has absurdly large muscles because is a former Mr. Europe. Adele is making significantly more public appearances following the runaway success of her new album. Her song "Hello" has inspired singing impressions and people texting the song lyrics to their exes. When she's not promoting the album, she's making you jealous by hanging out with Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone. With all this attention, she required the services of a bodyguard. And fans are quite taken with him.

Perhaps people didn't notice him when he was next to the once ludicrous outfits of Gaga. But now fans are definitely taking notice:

We now know the one person in the world hoping that Adele releases another smash album more than once every few years: Peter van der Veen. Though with a bodyguard resume like his, he won't have trouble finding work until Adele's next masterpiece.

Anne Hathaway is expecting her first child with husband Adam Shulman. The Oscar winner is in her second trimester and reportedly feeling great. She's achieved a great deal in her career, and recently joined other actresses in speaking out against ageism in Hollywood. Despite her serious side on and off-screen, she manages to cut loose while destroying lip sync battles and was a good sport about a joke at her expense in Amy Schumer's movie Trainwreck.

While this will be the first child for the couple, Hathaway has plans for a big family:

Look, I’ll start with one healthy kid but I’d like to have a few naturally and adopt. I gotta get on it, you know? I’d like to have as many as I can afford, not just financially but in terms of time, because you want to make sure each one feels special. I’ve had one goal in mind for the past 12 years, which is: get a movie, get a movie, get a movie. Now I might have to say: get a baby, get a baby, get a baby

Wearing the ceremonial gold head wrap for new mothers.

According to her quote, Hathaway will have as many as three children. But if it's calculated on how many she can afford, then Adam better buckle-up because that could be significantly more than three. Good luck to the new happy family, which may grow unabated.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made a toast to the Queen of England at the Commonwealth Heads of Government dinner in Malta. During the toast, Trudeau reminded the Queen he was the twelfth Canadian prime minister to serve during her reign and that his father, Pierre Trudeau, was the fourth. While it was of course meant to honor the lasting power of her legacy, the Monarchy decided to have some fun with it on Twitter:

https://twitter.com/BritishMonarchy/status/670345481550196737

Trudeau, a charmer whose good looks were enough to get the world to care about Canadian politics, had the perfect response:

Forever young. This guy is unstoppable. He has that magic skill where if someone even jokingly says he was being insulting, he manages to transform it into an even better compliment. Sounds like Trudeau is the kind of politician that will get a few deals through during his term in office.

The man behind Primitive Technology (which is shockingly successful in the 21st Century) has a hobby, which I bet you can guess: he likes to go out into the woods and re-create primitive technologies like stone axes, Goliath-killing slings, and various basic shelters. He is a man of few words—none, in fact, in his videos. The result is a fascinating look into what it would be like to survive by yourself in a world without technology, and an easy way to lose chunks of time watching him with rapt attention. Here's his most massive hit, "Building a primitive wattle and daub hut from scratch":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCKkHqlx9dE

Even when it comes to his blog and responding to comments, he is very terse. In fact, only the video entitled "Making poisonous black beans safe to eat (Moreton Bay Chestnut)" and the species of palm he uses (Alexander Palms) reveal that these woods are near Moreton Bay in Queensland, Australia. Of course, you never hear him speak, so it's impossible to say whether he's Australian by birth. Here's his latest feat, released yesterday, in which he creates a sling (like the kind you kill Goliaths with) from strips of bark.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzDMCVdPwnE

His videos all have millions or hundreds of thousands of views, and stolen versions of them on Facebook have racked up millions and millions more. Much like the Slow TV movement, this speaks to the appeal of watching people actually create things by hand. It's the digital equivalent of standing around a construction site and watching...plus the guy is only wearing shorts.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN-34JfUrHY

As useful as these skills would be in the apocalypse, you better watch all the videos now...because they won't be around for reference if you ever really need them. The videos are only minutes long, but the projects actually take a long time (as he points out in comments, this is a hobby, he does not live in the woods)—for example, this next video took him 102 days, although he says without unseasonable rain it would only have taken 60. That said, the finished product is damn impressive:

As Thanksgiving and Black Friday pass, everyone laments how tired they are after the long holiday weekend, except for this 90-year-old great-grandmother than can still juggle a soccer ball. It's easy to juggle a soccer ball if you're young with a cool dog, but she shows there's no need to call it quits. Apparently, you don't get too old to do sports, you get old because you don't do sports. Now that the arguments have settled over the best way to carve a turkey, and everyone wants to lounge and slowly digest the food they gorged themselves with, just remember you never have to slow down:

Thanksgiving weekend is a big one for movies, but here's a seven-second blockbuster that will leave you as impressed as most of what Hollywood puts out these days: cartoonist and Internet person Heather Christianson posted this video titled "My List of Favorite Movies" a few years ago, but for some reason it's going viral today. Well, the reason is that it's awesome, but why it took this long to explode is unknown:

And then there was the other twist? Man, that was awesome. Oh, there's also something about #LNPPdating profiles but whatever that was clearly wound down years ago and seems unimportant.

Kendrick Lamar and J.

Oops! Sis! Well, you can't blame a girl for being proud of her brother and excited for his success (plus if you noticed, she did a small part at the end of Kendrick's song, below). She apparently edited it later to remove the reference to the collaboration and the date, before finally deleting it altogether because commenters kept bringing it up. If those fire emojis aren't enough to get you pumped, here are the two artists' remixes of each other that came out yesterday, Black Friday:

Consummate social media pranksters Hope That Helps have a simple but effective ruse for cranky customers complaining on brands' Facebook pages—they pretend to be customer service in order to give America's rudest consumers the answers they deserve. Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year, and thus also one of the biggest days of the years for customer complaints—making it a perfect opportunity to troll those customers whose complaints were weird, stupid, pointlessly angry, or just plain nonsense. Here are 11 of their best scoops from Black Friday:

1. Kelly, who neither got a TV nor learned the true meaning of Thanksgiving this year.

2. Jeff, whose son growing inside his wife's womb will now be deprived of crucial prenatal exposure to "door buster" televisions.

3. Jordan, who just found out turkeys are birds.

4. George, who saw a donut one time.

5. Kim, who reminds us all that there are truly needy people during the holidays.

6. William, who learned the hard way that time moves forward, as does technology, as does the economy.

7. Ryan, who seriously better be kidding right now.

8. Christopher, who really wants everyone to know he's spending a lot of money this year.

9. Heroud, who was ahead of his time.

10. Ina, who is Ina real emergency without these impossible-to-obtain items.

≪ Previous: Christmas Season

Hafthór Björnsson, the 6'9", 420 lb. behemoth who portrays Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane on Game of Thrones, has had a pretty good week—he turned 27 on Thanksgiving (which he probably didn't care about, since he's Icelandic), and then he shattered the world record for hurling a keg in the air. Yup, you read that right. The keg wasn't full, but at 33 lbs, it's a bit more than twice as heavy as a full-sized shot put. This isn't his first strength record by a long shot. He is the current champion of the Strongest Man in Europe contest, he broke a log-carrying record in Iceland that had stood unbroken for 1,000 years, and whether or not it's a record, you can also watch him dead-lift 994 lbs. Oh, right, but here he is hurling a keg over a bar 8 meters up in the air. He then picked up the event hosts for good measure:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdcnUdzab7E

The old record was 7.4m, and Thor (as he's known) and another competitor first beat that and then threw the kegs over successively higher bars until only Thor's keg cleared it...by a lot. Did we mention he just turned 27? He also seems really nice. Considering strongmen usually hit their peak in their mid-to-late 30s, The Mountain's reign at the summit of his sport could just be beginning. Happy birthday, Hafthór! Keep on crushing it (records, that is...not people).

The biggest new movie star to come out of Ireland is a man named Ivor Noyek from Cork, who uploaded a photo of himself wearing a denim jacket with rolled-up sleeves and sunglasses, walking along a road while visiting upstate New York as his new profile picture—a profile picture his friends found irresistibly hilarious due to what can only be described as "hipster swagger" and "being really, really reminiscent of indie film posters." Here's the original.

Ivor accidentally achieved his "effortlessly cool" look so well that his friends wasted no time photoshopping him. Here's the first effort, which began him on his way to glory.

Another image following soon after clinched the deal: Ivor was going to be a meme, #IvorIsComing, and soon an entire Tumblr sprang up devoted to the photoshopped images.

From there, like a horde of the frozen undead, except awesome, the photoshops just kept coming and coming. Here are 17 of the best ones so far:

1. There's no way anyone's topping "Reserivor" when it comes to title puns.

2. Ivor, uh, finds a way.

https://twitter.com/twe1ve1/status/670026102509727744

3. Furivorious 7.

4. Mrs. Robinson, I think you're trying to #IvorIsComing.

5. Clear Ivors, full hearts, can't lose.

6. Ivorth by Ivorthwest.

7. "You can't even hang an Ivor!"

8. "Ivors...why did it have to be Ivors?"

9. Ivor of the Tiger.

10. It's been a hard day's Ivor / and Ivor been walking / like an Ivor.

11. Ivorff to see the Wivor, the ivorful wivor of ivor.

12. "Ivor the need. The need for a moderate walking speed."

13. "Come with me if you want to livor!"

14. "One of you will betray me. Not you, Ivor. You're cool."

15. The Fastest Man Alivor.

16. "I don't wanna close my Ivors...Ivor don't wanna miss a thing."

17. Where's....uh...OK, a pun is tough for this one, but it's definivoritely the best.

Fortunately, Ivor was not only cool with his newfound fame, he embraced it.

Congratulations, Ivor! Usually, to achieve this sort of accidental fame, you have to be Adele's hunky bodyguard.

When he was first introduced to Amur the Siberian tiger, Timur the Goat had no name, because he was supposed to be lunch—but now they have to call him something, because he's here to stay. Instead of running from Amur and getting eaten, Timur was the one who chased Amur out of his pen. Now Timur sleeps in the tiger's old spot, and the tiger sleeps on the table.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6dZs1SvzlE

According to the Russian zoo, Timur is named after a children's book character, "It's a fitting name for such a fearless animal." This, however, is bullcrap, because Timur was one of the bloodiest and most successful Mongol conquerors in history. Now that's a fitting name.

Nobody tell Sisqo, but thongs are out and huge ass underwear are in. If you don't think granny panties are sexy, then explain how The Golden Girls were seeing so much action? Week after week, those lovable grandmas were getting plowed more than a Midwestern cornfield. Now you too, can harness the raw sexuality of four senior citizens living in Miami in the 1980s by purchasing Golden Girls granny panties on Etsy.

Thank you for being a friend, thank you for being a thin layer of material between my crotch and pants.

If you love The Golden Girls and hate money, then these underwear are the perfect purchase. This set of four sells for a whopping $160.00. If you can’t afford the set—or only want the Blanche cause she was the most horny—you can buy them separately ($38.00 to $52.00).

Fun fact: these panties are as tall as the actual Sophia.

This is how we treat our national treasures.

What's the opposite of Viagra? Dorothy's judgmental face.

The Blanche panties are crotchless, naturally.
