Watching this video of a squirrel water skiing is giving me all the motivation I need today. That squirrel is living its best life out on the water! My lizard saw the video and now refuses to walk, only accepting rides on a miniature skateboard – who knew reptiles were into extreme sports? Did you know that the shortest war in history was between Britain and Zanzibar on August 27, 1896? Zanzibar surrendered after 38 minutes.
