Jimmy Fallon asked people to share their best last-minute Halloween costume ideas

[1]( [Jimmy Fallon asked people to share their best last-minute Halloween costume ideas]( Most of us have been there—receiving a last-minute invite to some type of [Halloween]( shindig, only to find ourselves without a costume. Maybe it’s due to being too busy to buy one, or from being habitual procrastinators, or maybe we initially felt a bit of holiday malaise and assumed we’d spend spooky season on the couch with Netflix instead of socializing. Whatever the reason—occasionally life forces us to get a little resourceful. The great thing is—sometimes having to scramble makes for some truly out-of-the-box ideas, whether that’s a bonkers hodgepodge of whatever recycled costumes can be found in the closet or the use of household items and some really clever wordplay. Either way, it brings out the delightfully [playful spirit of Halloween](. “Tonight Show” host [Jimmy Fallon]( asked folks to share their own["last minute Halloween costumes]( and you really can’t help but applaud the creativity that arises out of sheer desperation. He even had his own to share, one that was quite brilliant.

Sure, sometimes they sort of get the essence of a job, but a lot of the time the interpretation is downright cartoonish. One glance and it becomes abundantly clear that for some careers, we have no freakin’ clue what it is that people do. [Dr. Kit Chapman]( an award-winning science journalist and academic at Falmouth University in the U.K., recently held an impromptu contest on [Twitter]( where viewers could vote on which [photos]( were the best of the worst when it came to jobs in scientific fields. According to Chapman’s entries, a day in the life of a scientist includes poking syringes into chickens, wearing a lab coat (unless you’re a “sexy” scientist, then you wear lingerie) and holding vials of colored liquid. Lots and lots of vials. Of course, where each image is 100% inaccurate, they are 100% giggle inducing. Take a look below at some of the contenders. [Read the story]( Did a friend forward this to you?

Maybe they're looking for their own cut-off on who to give candy to or maybe they're asking about their own kids. Halloween is just around the corner and my 14-year-old asked me to take him to get a costume for trick-or-treating, and I'm happy to do so. Mom groups are often encouraging people to give candy to the big kids too, and while I personally don't believe 14 is too old, I do know some people do. My older son stopped trick-or-treating around 15 but he still walks with the family while we take the youngest out. If he decided that he wanted to dress up and go knock on doors, I wouldn't stand in his way. It's not because they need free candy, they don't. In fact, one year I was too exhausted and pregnant to take them out so I bought several bags of candy and dumped them in the middle of the bed so they could divvy it up. Trick-or-treating gives them a chance to just be kids.

His appointment is seen by many in the U.K. as an important step toward representation in a country that is [7.5% Asian.]( Sunak’s grandparents [migrated to the U.K](. in the 1960s from India and his maternal grandmother was born in Africa. However, this issue is a little more complicated from an American perspective where people of Indian descent are rarely referred to as Asian. We reserve the label for people of the Far East such as Japan, China, Vietnam and Korea. To complicate things further, if you go by what the [U.S. government]( has to say, Asian refers to people “having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam.” [Read the story]( [5]( [Viral video of rival baby beavers and their human minder is the best dam news around]( There's something about [baby animals]( that makes you want to pick them up and squeeze them, and Nibi is no different. She's a 5-month-old baby beaver who seems to have a bit of a sore spot for her roommate Ziibi, according to the [Newhouse Wildlife Rescue](. The two beavers share an area in the rescue and Nibi was getting free time outside of her enclosure after displaying "good behavior" toward her roommate. Turns out having two beavers is similar to having two children that share a room, someone always wants the other out so they can have the room to themselves. While Nibi was waddling around the room at the [wildlife rescue]( Ziibi was enjoying her time at the semi-aquatic enclosure unaware that her sassy roommate had devised a devious plan. Nibi got to work as soon as the coast was clear and started piling sticks up in front of the door that Ziibi just left to ensure the equally adorable roommate couldn't get back in. The chubby little beaver was extremely proud of herself when she managed to get the last stick in place after she dropped it on her way to build the dam of solitude.
