Robot uprising nears and vandals destroy Girl Scout Cookies and little girls' dreams

Editor's note: There's so much that's beautiful, funny, smart and informative on the Internet. Problem is, there's also a bunch of garbage. Here's the best of the web right now:

1. Robot throws cinder blocks because Terminator is real. Boston Dynamics is conducting robot research for the U.S. Army. And it's just a wee bit concerning.

2. Seven sentences that sound crazy but are still grammatical. If you are one of those people who loves to point out egregious errors in the spoken and written word, then take heed of this post, lest you erroneously correct someone for employing the sentence Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo.

3. Online baby-name contest revealed as hoax. Remember when a woman claimed she'd won $5,000 for agreeing to the let the Internet name her baby? The story made the rounds on media outlets across the country before "winner" Natasha Lloyd was outed as an actress with no fruit in her womb. It's the happy ending no one saw coming.

4. Vandals destroy $2,500 worth of Girl Scout Cookies, teach little girls not to be all high and mighty. Unfortunately, this is not a hoax.

5. Fantastic photo captures the moment a UFC fighter breaks his jaw. Mark Hunt landed a solid left hook on Stefan Struve's jaw, knocking out a tooth and breaking his jaw in one fell swoop. Joshua Hedges of Getty Images caught the blood-flying action on camera.

6. A 400-pound sculpture of an armless nude woman confuses scholars. "Ginger is a total surprise," archeologist Cece Saunders told the New York Times. using a nickname for the mysterious stone maiden that was unearthed in Brooklyn last summer.

Meow Wolf Grapevine will debut the new interactive play Phenomenomaly on November 15.

There's a new show coming to Meow Wolf, the artsy immersive exhibit in Grapevine: Called Phenomenomaly, it's a full-scale performance in which spectators interact to become part of the story. It will be embedded inside The Real Unreal, the already-existing exhibit at Meow Wolf.

Meow Wolf is the Santa Fe-based arts and entertainment company known for creating immersive experiences in collaboration with local artists.

Phenomenomaly will be centered around a new Meow Wolf creature called the Flickerwerm. Actors, dancers, musicians, and giant puppets will tell the story of the worm's migration via spontaneous, interactive performances, with attendees encouraged to interact and join scenes.

Each show repeats across the afternoon, so visitors can step into the story from anywhere in the exhibition. Performances from organizations across north Texas will feature hip-hop dance offs, circus acts, lion dancing, and opera orations.

Among the local arts organizations participating will be hip hop dance group Battle Grounds, Prism Movement Theater, Fort Worth Opera, Zaara Bellydance, and more.

“Phenomenomaly invites our guests to become part of a story as it unfolds live,” says Meow Wolf Grapevine general manager Jamie Weaver-Garia in a statement. “You explore, you play, and you meet a cast of strange and friendly characters who bring this place to life. It’s a new chapter for The Real Unreal and an unforgettable way to experience Meow Wolf during the holidays.”

The show will debut on November 15 and remain through the holidays until January 4, 2026. it'll run on weekends only — Friday, Saturday, and Sunday — between 1 pm and 6 pm, with multiple loops each day. Access is included with exhibition admission to The Real Unreal.
