There are endless treasures to be found in our grandparents’ attics. While digging through these family heirlooms and artifacts, we’re lucky if we come across a few tattered photos from the war, or a chipped teacup from an old collection. Although substantial finds may be few and far between, these relics help us piece together the stories of our lives. But one man hit the jackpot one day while rummaging through his grandparents’ things. What he discovered sent him on a stunning journey back in time. He found a perfectly preserved film of his grandparents’ wedding that dates back to 1944. Vimeo / Bliss Productions Although this footage was captured decades ago, the affection shown by these two lovebirds is timeless. My Grandparents Wedding :: 16mm from 1944 from bliss* productions on Vimeo. Grandparents are often viewed as the pillars of the family. They’re seen as sage, wizened monuments to everything that younger generations stand for. It’s rare that we get to peek behind the curtain and marvel at who they were before we were born, and now that this man has stepped back in time, he will be able to move forward with a whole new perspective on who he is and where he came from.

Unless you have long hair (and patience), you probably don’t have much use for a hair dryer. …until now, that is! By blasting anything with cool, warm, or hot air, hair dryers actually make pretty effective tools for use around the house. Here’s how you could be using a hair dryer in your day-to-day life (aside from the obvious). You probably have a hair dryer in your home. This is how you should use it!

Mufasa was a mountain lion who had known nothing but a life full of misery. He spent 20 horrible years chained to the back of a pick-up truck in a Peruvian circus, but when kind rescuers from Animal Defenders International heard about his struggle and found a way to free him, they changed his life forever. The day Mufasa got his first taste of forest life is a moment that can’t be missed. Sadly, Mufasa passed away in late December of 2015, just a few months after he found freedom. His chained-up life in the circus irreparably damaged his health, and he was suffering from kidney failure. As sad as it is that he didn’t get to enjoy more time in his new forest home, never experiencing life in the wild at all would have been the real tragedy.

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTAT_ATF’); }); Animals absolutely despise the torturous summer heat just like humans do. Take this baby deer, for example, that was trying to cool off in Lake Buchanan. Although the little one was probably trying to follow its mother into the water or take a refreshing dip, the poor thing became totally stranded. Luckily for this lovable critter, two men were boating on the lake and happened to stumble upon the baby deer bobbing up and down and struggling to tread water. In a cinematic moment straight out of “Baywatch,” our David Hasselhoff stand-in jumped into the water and saved the day. Take that, Hasselhoff! Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/deer-lake-rescue/
Learning to tie your shoes quickly won’t change your life… …but it is a small improvement that you’ll remember forever! The Ukrainian Knot Method, as explained by Dave Hax on YouTube, shows you how you can tie your shoes in about two seconds. Basically, you need to lace your shoes up backwards so that you’re only tying two loops together. It’s genius (and something most people would never think to try). Not that tying your shoes takes a long time, but this is awesome. Take THAT, shoelaces! Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/ukrainian-knot-method/

In just a few easy steps you can transform your average necktie into its close relative, the bow tie. Go from drab to dapper with this cool bow tie hack.

Yes, this food is on fire. And it looks awesome. YouTube This is called The Bomb Pizza and it’s from The Place restaurant in Seoul. It might look just like a ball of dough that was caught on fire, but it’s actually a shell surrounding typical pizza toppings. After it’s lit on fire, the heat cooks the pizza toppings and melts the cheeses. You can eat it plain, or you can use any of the dipping sauces The Place provides. It might be worth traveling around the world just to eat this pizza. LOOK AT IT. Watch them serve up The Bomb…it’s totally hypnotizing. This one is red because it’s filled with gorgonzola and cranberries (and it’s perfect). (via BuzzFeed) Now, I’m not saying Americans couldn’t think of an awesome pizza creation like this, but it’s no surprise that The Bomb is being served up in Korea!

For one group of mourners gathered at an Irish pub for a wake, the passing of a dear friend wasn’t about shedding tears. Instead, it was all about honoring his memory by rocking out in style! To mark the passing of Ger ‘Farmer’ Foley, the customers and staff of Falvey’s Bar in Killorglin, Ireland, decided to send off their friend in joyous fashion by singing his favorite song, “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers. What started innocently enough with one man, Brian O’Sullivan, climbing onto the bar counter to get the sing-along going, quickly became an all-out party. I might not have known Farmer Foley, but judging by the people he left behind, he clearly was a joy to be around. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/mr-brightside-pub/
It turns out that you and I aren’t the only ones who love belting out our favorite tunes as we drive down the highway. Whenever this adorable bulldog hears “You Raise Me Up” playing in the car, he just can’t help but sing right alongside Josh Groban.
