The requisite post-Thanksgiving hangover took a toll on more than peoples’ bodies—the stock market experienced a wide-reaching drop on Monday, partly due to a 6.4% decline in in-store sales from last year. AAPL lost 3.2% and is now trading at the 0h-so-affordable price of $115.07, giving dads everywhere all the more reason to buy themselves an early holiday present. (Reuters)

While you were discovering new things about the relatives you haven’t seen in 10 years, or were discovering new relatives altogether, a famed Nazi hunter discovered that former Nazi Alois Brunner died four years ago in Syria.

WFP has said that its decision will be “disastrous.” Go put your leftover turkey to good use. (UK Telegraph)
