Beer pairings for all 18 holes at the Masters because we care

Why just watch the beauty of Augusta National Golf Club on television this Thirsty Thursday when you can drink it in? In honor of Thursday being #NationalBeerDay, we give you a brew (unmasterfully) paired with each of the 18 holes, all named after plants. Other (probably more important?) things about the Masters, which teed off for the 80th time at 8:05 a.m. Thursday (even though you can only watch it from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.) 1. The ceremonial tee shot was all about Arnie. 2. Jordan Spieth took an early lead. 3. Ernie Els seven-putted his very first hole. 4. A 16-year-old is making history. 5. Why this might be the hardest Masters to win yet.

I'd like to pay my taxes and also have an Airheads Xtremes Rainbow Berry Slurpee

This could be a real moment in your actual life. The IRS says taxpayers who don't have a bank account or credit card can now take care of their tax bill at one of 7,000 participating 7-Eleven convenience stores in 34 states, many open seven days a week, 24 hours a day. This means you no longer have to trek to an IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center, which honestly sounds worse than the DMV. Once you've paid, you get a receipt and the payment should post within two business days. Fingers crossed you can still afford a celebratory Slurpee.

Belgium needs your help

Belgian prosecutors released new video footage Thursday of “the man in a hat” seen before the Brussels Airport suicide bombings in March, and they need the public's help finding him. Photos released by prosecutors showed the man, who was wearing a dark hat, leaving the airport on foot, walking to the nearby town of Zaventem and then into Brussels, where all traces of him were reportedly lost. Eric Van Der Sypt, spokesman for the federal prosecutor's office, asked anyone who may have seen or inadvertently photographed the man to come forward.

We just found something that weighs 17 billion suns

File this under terrifying things you discover in remote parts of the universe. Astronomers have found a "behemoth" black hole weighing as much as 17 billion suns in the center of a massive elliptical galaxy. The observations, made by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and the Gemini Telescope in Hawaii, could indicate these monstrous objects are more common than thought. Oh, and apparently it's not the biggest black hole ever discovered. The current record-holder tips the scale at 21 billion suns. We're going to pick up the pieces of our brain now.
