2.  Since lots of people went for long stretches without driving their cars, there’s been a big increase in RATS and other animals making nests under their hoods and causing serious damage.

3.  A distillery in Australia had to recall one of its brands of gin after they realized the bottles were actually full of hand sanitizer.

4.  A video is going viral on Twitter of a guy at a casino in Vegas smoking a cigarette while wearing a mask.
