'Mr. Yo' is a millionaire investor with a very peculiar habit – for the past 11 years, the Korean businessman living in Bahrain has been waking up every morning before dawn to clean up the streets of his city. He even takes the time to sort out and recycle the garbage that he collects. Asked why he has been doing this for 11 years, he simply answered “because I want to!”

Korean-born Yo has earned himself the nickname 'Boss of Cleaning', thanks to his diligent morning habit. He seems genuinely interested in keeping the streets clean, and making sure that everyone enjoys a healthy neighborhood. "There is a lot of garbage, and this makes people sick," he explained. "It causes problems."

Cool Patch Pumpkins corn maze, in Dixon, California, is officially the biggest corn maze in the world. The gigantic 63-acre Halloween attraction is the creation of brothers Matt and Mark Cooley, who personally hand-cut five miles of winding paths, twists, turns and loops. This year, the maze finally broke the Guinness Record for the world's largest maze.

The maze might appear easy to navigate when you first set foot in it, but visitors soon realize it is far more complicated than they originally thought. Believe it or not, a few visitors have actually resorted to calling 911 for help! "When it's dark, all you see is corn," Matt said. "A lot of people have been telling us that it has taken them a couple of hours to get through the corn."

"There's a concern; there's a bit of fear involved," said Deputy Daryl Snedeker from the Solano County Sheriff's department. "I think they are overwhelmed. You can get a little worked up when you can't get out of a place and everything looks the same. We don't laugh, it's not a comedy to us, and our dispatchers have a very serious job, and they take every call to 911 seriously."

If your name is Elizabeth Gallagher, you might just be the lucky winner of a free three-week vacation around the world. The generous offer was made public by 27-year-old Jordan Axani, from Canada, who broke up with his girlfriend after all the plans for the trip had been finalized. Now that his girlfriend won’t be joining him, he's searching for a Canadian woman with the same name, so she can use her ticket.

"In March I booked a fairly wicked trip around the world for this Christmas for my ex and I," Jordan explained on Reddit. "While our relationship has come to a close, I am still planning on going on the trip and she is not (naturally). And because I hate the idea of a ticket around the world going to waste, I am looking for a Canadian named Elizabeth Gallagher who could use the ticket."

The itinerary for the epic trip – starting December 21 – includes cities like New York, Milan, Paris, Bangkok and New Delhi. "The tickets were frankly so cheap and on so many different airlines that they're not worth the headache or money to cancel," he admitted. So he thought it best to share the ticket with someone who is "sane, smart, and (hopefully) interesting", who has "always wanted to travel" and is "ready for a rather spontaneous life experience."
