Today is Monday, April 11, 2016.  A Burger King prank.  Rage Yoga is a thing.  Call a Swede.

Burger King Prank

A Burger King prank led to smashed windows in Minnesota and Oklahoma.

Calls came to the fast food restaurants claiming that there were high levels of carbon monoxide filling up the buildings.  So, the employees were encouraged to smash windows of the restaurants.

So they did.

When fire fighters arrived, there were no traces of any gas leaks.  But, the smashed windows left $10,000 worth of damage.

Rage Yoga

Don’t think you’d love a modern yoga studio, but want to give a shot?  Think you’re a little too edgy for a yoga studio?

Try Rage Yoga.  Feel free to swear and drink while posing.  You will also listen to Metallica and Black Sabbath.

Hey Sweden

Ever want to call Sweden?  To celebrate the 250th anniversary of Sweden’s abolition of censorship, the Swedish Tourist Association launched a phone number that will connect you with random Swedes.  The Swedish people answering the phones have no training.  They just download an app, register their number, switch themselves on, and wait for calls.
