As the poster says, 2016 is the year of the monkey. Do you see the monkey in this minimalist design? The little ears, kind of a long face but it's pretty clear. Some people have pointed out that it looks like something else... though it's hard to place it.
What is it...

No that can't be it.

How rude!

Yes, that's it! Exactly what I was thinking...

Los Angeles is well known for the terrible highway traffic so if you're about to tell the people of that city that construction will cause MORE traffic jams, you better have a special way of doing it. Mayor Eric Garcetti's slow jam will soothe and charm you, even if your weekend plans have been ruined.
He also has this amazing quote about slow jams and planned traffic delays:

Is this cool? Is it not cool? It should be on the level of your high school teacher "rapping" about chemistry but the smooth sounds of saxophone have me all confused.

Were you in Lakeview, Chicago recently? Did you happen to see someone dropping a deuce on a brand new Tesla Model X? Perhaps you might be able to help this guy, who is seeking the perpetrators of this hilarious prank (but beware: he may ask you for a sample of your poop to rule you out as a suspect). Here's the Craigslist ad he posted about the incident in full:
I am writing this message to anyone that might have been in Lakeview Thursday night around 9pm.
Obviously I have a large degree of humility when writing this because I am seeking people out here to see if anyone has any information about who may have taken a gigantic s**t on the windshield of my brand new Tesla Model X.
Specifically I am looking for anyone who was by Stratford and Broadway, which was where my car was parked.
This is not a joke.
I was on a date with a girl, one who was very conservative. It was our third date and when we walked out, sure enough we saw that someone had taken a very large s**t on my windshield comprised of two sizablle logs and smaller ball which rolled down to my wipers. Pee was not visible, leading me to believe that perhaps someone had s**t in a container at home and then threw it on my car later.
Now I know a lot of people might find this funny but my date was really traumatized by the whole thing and I have zero leads. What’s more, the CPD “absolutely refused” to help me, a tax paying citizen, clean the s**t off of my car. But they obviously didn’t hesitate to tell me I could not drive with the poop on my windshield because it would obstruct my visibility. I had to use a redeye magazine and a bottle of water to clean it off and that sucked.
I am looking for solid intelligence in regards to anyone who might have seen anything. Do not reply with a car type you think you saw or a suggestion. I am writing this to someone who saw something in particular or perhaps, someone who indeed knows the person who pulled this stupid joke on me. As for the latter, if you were willing to leak the name of the person who did this, I promise you that I would spare you of all legal charges and physical retaliation. However I will plan on ruling you out with DNA for I have kept a sample of the s**t for I can see someone trying to pull another fast one on me. And trust me, that is not going to happen.
If you have any information about whoever pinched a loaf on this guy's expensive car, you might want to figure out a way to reach him, provided you're willing to provide a DNA sample. Hopefully he'll be satisfied with a cheek swab. Unfortunately, his Craigslist post has been removed, but where there's a will, there's a way. I'm guessing if he's wealthy enough to afford a Tesla, he can afford a little ransom on your information.

Noela Rukundo lived happily in Australia with her husband Balenga Kalala until she left to visit her the country of Burundi where she grew up for her stepmother's funeral.
In Burundi, she stepped out for some air after finishing a phone call with her loving husband to meet a man with a gun pointed at her. Under the threat of death, she did what he told her to do and was taken to a secluded place where her kidnappers met with other gang members. Fortunately for her, the hitmen her husband sent to kill her were principled.
They told her they don't kill women and children so after some theatrics over the phone, during which she heard her own husband command them to "Kill her" and the hitmen demanded more money and told him that she was dead.
With evidence from her would-be killers she headed home to crash her own funeral. She showed up right as mourning friends and family were leaving her husband's home.

What kind of thing would you say to the person you love who tried to have you murdered? Rukundo told the BBC she just said, "Surprise! I'm still alive!"
