The Quest to Save the Birthplace of DnD

🎲 When Yolanda Frontany and her husband bought this old house, she didn't realize that she'd find herself owning a piece of history. It turns out that her house was the one where Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson invented Dungeons & Dragons! But after taking critical hits from the elements for 100 years, the old house is in dire need of repairs, and Frontany has started a crowdfunding campaign to save it. Here's The Quest to Preserve the Birthplace of Dungeons & Dragons | Indiegogo campaign.

Sounds silly? You can't argue with the result: after the kids wrote the stories, 8 shelter animals were adopted right away.

🏠 This is a cross stitch that I can get into: May Godzilla Destroy This Home Last - now that's what I call a blessing!

💣 During the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863, Union soldiers were loading a canon when a Confederate shell hit the canon's muzzle and plugged it up! It's the perfect shot.

🦦 Lastly, here's a romp of otters being completely fascinated by a vacuum cleaner.
