Happy Friday! It’s Oktoberfest time here, which is a big event. Yesterday I actually got to see the Running of the Wieners (i.e. dachshunds), which was chaotic and adorable. Here’s a photo gallery! 

From Cassandra: What do animals think about? Maybe Jainism is on to something.

Via AI Weirdness: Mushrooms, as named by the neural net! 

Did you know that a rural Kentuckian took on the world of fancy croquet and won? It’s true! I had never heard about this before, and it's a great story.

Have a safe and spiffy weekend, everyone. See you next week.
