  2. The winner of the men's downhill race in the annual cheese-rolling contest in Gloucestershire, U.K., is a German YouTuber called Tom Kopke. It's a third consecutive win for the 24-year-old known online as Tooleko, who will take home a wheel of Double Gloucester. The first written record of cheese rolling dates back to 1830, but the tradition is believed to date back centuries, to a heathen spring festival. Nowadays, the event is classed as an extreme sport. Here's more from @BBCNews.

  6. 3) This is...quite the headline (fyi, everyone's fine). The quotes in the article are pretty great too:

    "Another big cheese was Ryoya Minami from Japan, who was among the winners. Asked why he entered the race, he replied: 'Because I love cheese.'"
