Have you ever been so drunk that you became Celine Dion?

It seems unbelievable but a guy called Thomas Dodd from Staffordshire, England was so drunk that he went online and officially changed his name by deed poll to Celine Dion.

He just had to fill out an application form and pay 120 pounds and his name was changed. He didn’t have a reason to do this other than the fact that he was completely drunk and was watching Celine Dion videos on YouTube.

Then he went to bed and completely forgot that he had taken such a drastic decision but after a few days he received the documents that proved the change of name from Thomas Dodd to Celine Dion.

He has decided to keep his new name anyway, at least for the moment if it doesn’t have too many downsides. It’s good at least that he wasn’t watching any Peppa Pig videos at the time!

Now your dog doesn’t have to look at you with envy while your are eating your ice cream and you don’t have to feel guilty. Ben & Jerry have launched two flavours for their new line of ice cream for dogs:Pontch’s Mix and Rosie’s Batch, both names after two employees dogs.

Ben & Jerry started in 1978 founded by Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield allows dogs in the office and therefore they play a big role in this company.

Pontch’s Mix has peanut butter and pretzel while Rosie’s Batch has pumpkin and mini cookies. As dogs are lactose intolerant these ice cream don’t contain dairy products but use sunflower butter which is easily digested by our canine friends. The recipes were created with the help of vets and experts in dogs nutrition.

Unfortunately for the time being these dogs treats are only available in the US but hopefully they might come to delight British dogs soon.

The Kindle Challenge is a new initiative by Amazon to encourage people to buy and read Kindle books, it’s an interesting concept that Kobo started years ago but then abandoned.

Basically every month there will be some challenges and you will need to take part and complete them to gain badges. You can also earn credits to buy Kindle Books. The challenges so far has been easy like reading a book, buying a book or subscribing to Kindle Unlimited.

There is obviously a large marketing element but the Kindle Challenge can be fun for users by gamifying the experience users can be motivated to read more.

How do I take part in the Kindle Challenge?

So far it is at a kind of pilot stage and you must have an invitation, there will be more invites sent in the next few months. Sadly you must live in the United States to take part for the time being. The Challenge might be extended to other countries in future, although there are no details yet.

As we are not able to go to the Natural History Museum we can at least visit the Fantastic Beasts virtual exhibition thanks to Google Arts & Culture.

It must be said that despite everything this virtual version is quite interesting. There are different things to watch, strange animals to discover and different activities suitable for all ages.

There are articles about weird animals that look great but really exist, about conservation, about legends, There are fantastic animals to color, a quiz and you can create your own fantastic animals too.

We also find a gallery dedicated to the history of mythological animals and a puzzle. In conclusion, it is really worth taking a virtual trip to this exhibition at the Natural History Museum in London.
