Take a Dip in The Largest Swimming Pool in the World
the San Alfonso del Mar resort in Algarrobo, Chile
It was listed officially as the largest swimming pool by area in the Guinness Book of World Records in December of 2006.
The pool holds a staggering 250 million liters (66 million gallons) of water and is the equivalent to about 6,000 8-meter long pools.
Located about 90 kilometers (56 miles) from Santiago, San Alfonso del Mar is a major tourist attraction and popular destination for tourists from around the world.
Darwin the Monkey Goes Shopping at Ikea
Over the weekend, shoppers at an Ikea in northeastern Toronto were greeted with a rather strange customer: a small rhesus macaque monkey wearing what looks to be a ridiculously comfy winter coat.
While his owner was shopping, the monkey, named Darwin, unlocked his own cage, hopped out of the car and decided to do some exploring. After being found derping around the front of the store, Darwin was turned in to customer services and is now in the care of Toronto city officials. His owner was fined $200.00 for owning an illegal exotic pet.
Poor little Darwin, and to think he only wanted a new coffee table.
