"One reason I love the Wikipedia article for “high five” is that it’s one of
those entries about an utterly basic aspect of everyday life that reads like it
was written by a group of aliens observing human beings: “Its meaning varies
with the context of use but can include as a greeting, congratulations, or
celebration.”

But the high-five Wikipedia page is among my very favorites not because of its
writing, but because of its iconic photos — specifically the ones in the
section on the “too slow” variation"

Via Muse, who wrote "Cutest story EVAH!"

Share and enjoy,
