I love Waldo, lol. Although I couldn't do those puzzles that often. It bugged me. Finding someone amongst the crowds. ROFL on the half sister Carmen SanDiego.

Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote "the Hokey Pokey" died peacefully at the age of 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in...and then the trouble started. Even though it’s not “real”, this obituary clip always makes me laugh out loud:
