A Little Bit of Awesome: 10/24/19 Edition

A 76-year-old guy in Minnesota named Dennis Pederson was sitting in his house on Tuesday morning when the house EXPLODED, but he crawled out of the rubble unscathed. It’s still not clear what caused the explosion, but Dennis’ neighbors are just glad he’s okay.


A guy in Grand Rapids, Michigan put a sign in his office window about a year ago, asking people to send him beers because his office is right above a bar. And now people order them for him all the time. He’s gotten about 80 beers so far.


A subway rider was singing Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ On A Prayer” while wearing earbuds, and looking out a window. He had no idea the other passengers were into it. So when he stopped short of singing the high notes, one woman finished the verse for him.


This young man wants to skateboard so badly his mom made it happen.


Need some tricks for trick or treat? Here you go.
