4. Teenage boys wear skirts to school to protest a dress code rule
A number of boys from Isca Academy in the UK wore skirts to school on Thursday. The school’s dress code says that boys can’t wear shorts to school and the area is dealing with a significant heatwave, so the boys donned skirts to both beat the heat and protest the silly rule.

5. Packers fan marries a girl with the last name Packer, so he took her last name
A man from Wisconsin, who by no surprise is a diehard Green Bay Packers fan, just got married and he took his wife’s last name for the best possible reason. Her last name is Packer, meaning that the man, who was previously named Ryan Holton, is now Ryan Packer. If anyone doubts his fandom he can tell them that his name is Mr. Packer.
