Beautiful Noise: A Cappella Group Delights Crowd at Ritter's Diner

Warning: This video will leave a popular Beatles tune stuck in your head.

Friday’s breakfast at Ritter’s Diner included something extra. Member of the Kenyon College A Cappella Choir were finishing up their meals when a group at a nearby table, realizing the young men were part of a choir, requested a song.

The guys didn’t hesitate and delighted diners with their rendition of a Beatles classic. Warning: This song will be stuck in your head for the rest of the day, which we think is a good thing. The group was in Pittsburgh for a series of performances at Shady Side Academy.

#Aww: Pittsburgh pig slides on sidewalk, becomes an online star

Thanks to the presence of freezing rain and snow, we've all been walking around very carefully of late. "Slippy" roads add a dash of complexity to our commutes and walks. That extends to our four-legged friends as well.

Locals Ricky Phillip Gindlesberger and Aaron Staranko witnessed their adorable spotted pig, Phineus, attempting to walk down an icy sidewalk. They had the foresight to capture it on camera in an 11-second clip that has garnered more than 1 million views to date — and made it necessary for him to have a Facebook fan page.
