Article Icon 187-Year-Old’s Party Invite Goes Viral 

In Bucks County, Pennsylvania, 87-year-old Doug Turner has become a local sensation after personally delivering handwritten invitations to his neighbors for a Celebration of Winter party.

The invitations, adorned with his own artwork, humorously noted the event would last "4 p.m. until the cops arrive."

This tradition began four years ago with his late wife, and despite her passing in 2022, Turner continues to foster community spirit. This year, he invited 24 guests, supplying all the food and drinks himself, asking only that attendees “bring a smile.”

His neighbor shared a video on social media of Turner's gesture, which quickly went viral, amassing over 2 million views and prompting supportive messages from around the world. Watch a video report here

Article Icon 1Miracle Backpack Saves Father and Son 

Lost in the rugged wilderness of southern Utah, Julian Hernandez and his teenage son faced a dire situation: freezing night with no supplies and temperatures plummeting—until they stumbled upon what they now call a "miracle backpack."

Left behind weeks earlier by 15-year-old Levi Dittman after his own rescue, the green pack was filled with food, water, and emergency supplies, helping the father and son endure until help arrived. 

Weeks earlier, Dittman had been stranded in the same spot, forced to abandon that very backpack. Never expecting to see it again, he was stunned to learn it had saved another family. Watch rescue footage.

Levi’s mother called it a “God fingerprint,” a reminder that small actions can have life-changing impacts. Levi simply said, “I’m glad it could help someone.”

Article Icon 1Penguin Who Loves Showers Returns Home 

A Magellanic penguin with an unusual love for showers is at the heart of My Penguin Friend, now streaming on Hulu. Watch the trailer here.

The film tells the true story of Joao Pereira de Souza, a retired bricklayer who was fishing when he found the oil-covered bird, rescued him from a certain death, and later named it Dindim.

After nursing him back to health, Joao often found Dindim waddling into his bathroom, waiting patiently for a gentle rinse under the shower—a ritual that became a symbol of their unlikely bond. 

Though Dindim eventually returned to the wild, he swam thousands of miles back each year, proving that some friendships, even between man and penguin, are worth the journey. Read a detailed account of their friendship here.
