I almost fell off my chair when I saw the latest Twitter trend: ‘Otters Who Look Like Benedict Cumberbatch.’ It highlighted the brilliance of social media once more, and the beauty in uniting one world behind a very important discovery. It scares me to think that only a decade ago, we wouldn’t be aware of the fact that Benedict Cumberbatch looks like an otter, or, perhaps, otters bear surprising resemblance to the Sherlock star.

It would appear that millions of people across the UK, some even perhaps further a field, are divulging in the enjoyment of a stark comparison between creature and man. And now we are united in singing its praises, glorifying a momentous occasion beyond compare.

Admiration for the trend: Alice X. Zhang ‏ @alicexz “Otters Who Look Like Benedict Cumberbatch = literally the greatest Twitter trending topic ever” BBC Comedy ‏ @bbccomedy “Otters who look like Benedict Cumberbatch. Thank you, the internet”
