Finally, another long weekend has arrived, and this must've been the most lively, news-packed and interesting weekend in a long, long time. There were enormous stories brewing -- for instance, in space, a commercial craft docked with the International Space Station for the first time, and here on Earth, we heard rumblings of a Facebook phone in the works.
Besides all that hard news, fun stuff had its run of the site, including extravagant Instagram pics from the rich and famous, some of the funniest animated GIFs you've ever seen, an elaborate marriage proposal that went viral, and the cutest animal costume we've ever seen made it onto the top 10 most popular Twitter pics of the week.
