Funnies: company giving employees a day off for the Game of Thrones premiere, and more

Let’s have one last rush of funny Game of Thrones stuff before the Season 6 premiere. First up, if you feel the company you work for doesn’t respect you, this probably won’t make you feel any better. According to the New York Post, tech company +rehabstudio is giving employees in its UK office the morning off on Monday, April 25, so they can stay up late to watch the Season 6 premiere. The premiere episode, “The Red Woman,” airs at 9:00 p.m. in the US, but won’t air in the UK until 2:00 a.m., so the workers will need the extra sleep.

The company has an office in Belfast, where much of the show is filmed, so it only makes sense that many of the employees want to watch the premiere. “We’re always trying to look after our guys and make sure we’re giving them the best work environment and social life as well,” said Tim Rodgers, the company’s founding partner. “They are massive fans.”

Predictably, the employees are pretty happy with this, and it’s been good for business, too—job applications to +rehabstudio are up 20% since the news broke.

Are we all cheered back up? Okay, next story.

Detroit restaurant Dime Store is preparing for the premiere with a menu of Game of Thrones-themed delicacies. Behold:

You’d figure they’d be able to work lemon cakes or Davos the Onion Knight on there somehow, but I’m not a restaurateur.

Meanwhile, back on the internet, Ranker solicited opinions and put together some stats about characters on the show? Agree? Disagree? Care in the slightest? Here are its findings:
