• Hybrid Animals – Imgur
A gallery of some of the more impressive animal hybrids. There are two things to take away from this: 1) Most of these animals, no matter how silly they look, can still kill you just as easily as either parent, and 2) Lions can mate with just about any large cat and produce some impressive offspring.

• Festive party food hacks and the return of the Egg Master | Life and style | The Guardian
What happens if you try to host a Christmas party using the right ingredients but the wrong utensils? This, this is what you get. Though I’m intrigued by the idea of making champagne with a sodastream, and the gravy fountain sounds like fun, I think there might be a kernel of a good idea in the sausage lollipops.

• GALAVANT to Save the Day With a Full Soundtrack Release (Finally) | Nerdist
Way back in days of old
There was a legend told
About a hero known as Galavant
But seasons one and two
Had ratings down the floo
Alas we’d never see more Galavant

Ah! But good news comes at last
from producers and the cast
Yes! The lyrics we can’t forget
Will feature on this two disc set
Of all our favorites songs from Galavant

• These Public Libraries Are for Snowshoes and Ukuleles – The New York Times
  I’m fascinated by how libraries have transformed themselves in the last couple of decades. They’ve always been places of learning, so it makes perfect sense to me that they find themselves transitioning from warehouses of books to warehouses of other learning tools.
