Sunday Overnight Open Thread - February 23, 2025 [Doof]

Howdy Hordelings, and welcome to the Sunday ONT! Hope your weekend has been great and you are ready to close out your evening with us here. Thanks for stopping by - shall we step inside?

Don't turn your attention away from hockey now!

The NHL season resumed this weekend after the very exciting Four Nations Face-off concluded on Thursday night. Congrats to team Canada on the win.

This afternoon, Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin scored 3 goals to put himself 13 goals away from breaking Wayne Gretzky's record of 894 career regular season goals.

Ovi is a big kid. His love for the game is infectious. Here he is being interviewed after today's game.

Connor McDavid, arguably the NHL's best current player, scorer of the OT goal on Thursday which won the Four Nations championship for Canada, poses with Ovi's kids after today's game.

Hockey is an incredible sport. Its players are among the toughest and most skilled athletes of any sport. Ovi's chase for the record adds a new level of excitement to this season. He's on pace to tie and break the record before the season ends. Don't sleep on hockey now!

New Upside Down House Opens – Take Fabulous Photos And Walk on the Ceiling

A quirky tourist attraction has popped up in another seaside town that lets visitors tour a building where all the furniture is flipped 180-degrees.

‘The Upside Down House’ in Bristol, England, is the 12th one to be erected—or should we say inverted—around the UK since the success of the first one opened in Bournemouth in 2018.

Painted in cheerful colors, the homes look like they’ve been flipped on their heads. With two floors of furniture attached to the ceilings, visitors might feel dizzy from the alternative perspective of life upside down.

There are plenty of places to take photos on the two floors, including a kitchen, living room, bedroom where striking fun poses can really take advantage of the anti-gravity views.

Paying guests walk on the ceiling as tables, chairs, beds, toilets and more hang above them.
