Everyone loves a good bedtime story, and this week’s hot topics seemed to pour right from the pages of our favourite fairytales. Harry Potter murders, anti-Barbie bills, and a bubblegum-pink dolphin? No fiction in these facts. However, not everything ends with a happily ever after– the dark details of a not-so-picture perfect romance have finally emerged, but the couple still seems to be in lalaland. Book it, Rihanna!

Whoa Whoa Whoa - Pink Dolphin.

It’s a popsicle! It’s a cupcake! No, it’s just Pinkie the albino dolphin, spotted for the first time in a freshwater lake in Louisiana. Weird, sure – but would we adopt it, feed it sprinkles, and ride it through waterfalls in our superhero pajamas? Hell yes we would.
