Take A Tour Of The Garbage Man Museum
Who doesn’t love going to museums? There is always so much to do and so much to learn. All of my favorite field trips as a child were to art and science museums and I wouldn’t trade those memories for the world. The cool thing about museums, though, is that they can be about anything. You can go to the Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C., the Spam Museum in Minnesota, or the Waffle House Museum in Atlanta and learn something at all three. Nathan Molina is a garbageman by trade, but his passion lies in collecting items for his own personal museum. What’s in his collection? Garbage … literally. Nathan works in New York, and for the past 29 years he has taken home items that he found interesting. It started small at first, but pretty soon, he had enough stuff to fill an entire room. Eventually, he had collected enough items to house a mini-museum. Anyone who visits Nathan’s museum will tell you that his collection is way more than just trash. Every item in his museum is valuable or holds a special meaning. In the video below, Nathan shows off everything from Christmas decorations to historical artifacts, like a relic from 9/11. As of now, Nathan’s museum is not open to the public, so make sure to take advantage of this rare glimpse into the beautiful world of New York City’s best garbage. Don’t forget to SHARE this amazing story with your family and friends. H/T: Guardian Culture Read more: http://www.wimp.com/take-a-tour-of-the-garbage-man-museum/

Watch Stephen Colbert And Steve Carell Be Funny Way Before Anyone Knew Who They Were
Before “The Colbert Report” and landing his new hosting gig on “The Late Show,” Steven Colbert was a young comedian trying make it in Hollywood. His big break hit in the summer of 1996 on the short-lived “Dana Carvey Show,” alongside other up and comers like Steve Carell and Louis CK. With “The Late Show” starting soon, let’s take a look back at one of the earliest examples of Colbert’s comedy available online. “The Waiters, Who Are Nauseated By Food,” also featuring a young Steve Carell, showcases the brilliant comic timing and overarching silliness that has made Colbert a star in the years since. Almost 20 years after it aired, it’s amazing to see how far these stars have come. Sit back, enjoy, and don’t order the bread.

Song Explains How To Make Latke
The seasonal holidays of December are usually associated with Christmas, but millions of people across the United States will instead be celebrating Hanukkah. One of the most celebrated holidays of the Hebrew faith, Hanukkah commemorates the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem during the Maccabean Revolt. The celebration lasts 8 days and nights and starts on the 25th day of Kislev in accordance with the traditional Hebrew calendar. This year’s celebrations start at sunset on the 6th of December and last until nightfall on the 14th. It isn’t uncommon to hear new Christmas music each year, but it is strangely rare to hear new Hanukkah songs. Just in time for the season, the a cappella group known as The Maccabeats has released a new hit song for people celebrating Hanukkah everywhere.

Angel City Chorale Covers Toto’s “Africa”
The Angel City Chorale, a non-profit community chorale based in Los Angeles, is known for riveting performances that make good use of their 160 members. However, they don’t limit their music-making to just singing – snapping fingers, clapping and even jumping are all part of the game when creating that perfect sound. Which is exactly what makes this cover of Toto’s “Africa” so amazing. Even if the song title sounds unfamiliar, you’ll probably recognize the beat once it gets going. In February 1983, it was America’s number one hit song, and in the years since, it has continued to enjoy radio playtime on classic rock stations. Maybe it’s the heartfelt lyrics about a continent full of wonder, the beat of the drums or the explosive chorus, but either way, “Africa” always keeps people coming back for more.
