Greetings! Some bad news: Our advent calendar videos aren’t going to be up this year. (For what it’s worth, the Hot Wheels advent calendar, while featuring some fun cars, has also featured days where we open a door to find a ramp or a traffic cone, so it may not have made for the most thrilling viewing experience.)

However, here’s something fun: Behold, Russians recreating famous artworks. Come for the gorgeous models, stay for the unexpected goats and babies!

Also: Someone in Vegas is putting tiny cowboy hats on pigeons. While we at Spooky Librarians HQ do not condone imposing headwear on wildlife*, we have to admit this is hilarious.

*A Reddit poster asked “how would you feel if someone glued a whimsical hat to your head?”
