Grandma's Thanksgiving gift. Free falling Rubik Cube record and much more in your weekend edition of Good News!

1.  A grandma in Arizona is gearing up for her eighth Thanksgiving in a row with a random guy she accidentally invited to dinner as a teen back in 2016.  Now you could have dinner with them too

The grandma's name is Wanda Dench.  She's doing a thing with Airbnb, where up to two guests will get to have a Friendsgiving with them this month, because quote, grandmas "feed everyone."

You'll stay at Wanda's house for the night . . . play board games . . . watch movies . . . and get to be in their annual Thanksgiving selfie.

To go with it, Airbnb is making a big donation to the charity Feeding America.  (Here's the Airbnb listing.)

2.  There were multiple UFO sightings in Wichita, Kansas in the lead-up to Halloween, but it wasn't aliens.  A guy's wife told him she wanted a UFO in their front yard for Halloween, so he built one and didn't pull any punches.  It looks like it came straight off the set of a 1950s sci-fi flick.  (Here's a photo.)

3.  A guy's dog found a rare lump of whale puke on a beach in Scotland, and it could turn into a huge payday for him.  Whale vomit has stuff in it that's used in high-end perfumes.  The chunk his dog found could be worth thousands of dollars.

4.  A 17-year-old kid just broke a world record for fastest time solving a Rubik's cube while skydiving.  He jumped from 14,000 feet, and solved it in just over 28 seconds.  He said it was much harder than he expected.  (Here's the video.)
