Thou shalt not pass: We may sound like a broken record (if anyone remembers what a record is) but some things bear repeating: winter wildlife closures on certain public lands in Durango go into effect starting Dec. 1. The closures will remain in effect through the end of April to protect wintering deer and elk who have a much harder time surviving than you with your down puffy, warm house and stocked fridge.

Winston Churchill was born in Blenheim Palace, but now it’s mostly a museum. One of its most famous pieces is a full-sized toilet made out of solid gold that’s titled “America.” You don’t have to be an art critic to get it.

See, the toilet was actually connected to the plumbing, because as it turns out, you can pay a small fee to crap all over America.
