“Signs, signs, everywhere there’s signs. F***ing up the scenery. Breaking my mind. Do this, don’t do that. Can’t you read the sign?” Listen folks, I love a good church sign, and I’ve noticed that churches in all different parts of the country are getting in on the action, which is great news! I think that’s...

McKamey Manor is an extreme haunted house with two locations, one in Tennessee and one in Alabama, and, as of today, over 94,000 people have signed a petition trying to get the haunted house closed down. Why? Petitioners are claiming...

Tell me if you’ve experienced this situation before: you hang out with someone for quite a while, you’re intimate, it feels like a relationship…but then it never quite goes anywhere. Sound familiar? It’s called being in a “situationship,” and a lot of us have been there at one time or another – maybe you’ve even...

Chances are that you know at least a couple of people in your life who are adopted. It could be friends, family members, co-workers – anyone really. There’s also a good chance that you know people who are adopted, but you don’t know it because they haven’t told you. Every adopted person is on their...

We’ve all had those moments in life when we were so embarrassed or humiliated that a little part of us died. A lot of them come in our younger years when we try to ask out the popular girl or guy or act cool in front of our peers. Or, sometimes, incredibly terrible or sad...

Every once in a great while, a meme grabs the public the throat and refuses to let go. Kind of like the guy ignoring his girlfriend meme, or the girl grinning in front of the fire. Remember those? Well, here’s another one that people are fascinated by for one reason or another. Heck, one guy...

As you’re well aware, trends come and go throughout the years. What’s hot one minute is considered pretty lame a minute later. It can sure be hard to keep up, am I right? Well, here’s one trend I hope sticks around for many years because 1). It’s pretty hilarious, and 2). It’s quite festive! A...

Okay, here’s the story. A lot of cars were jumping a particular curb in a parking lot, and people in Omaha, Nebraska, were fed up. So they decided to put a rock – a really huge rock – on the curb to deter drivers from taking that little shortcut… And now there is a Facebook...

I have a few quality scars on my body. One is from when a kid on the school bus in 8th grade (he shall remain nameless) cut me on the hand with his homemade wooden knife. Another is from getting burned by a piece of plastic that melted onto my right-hand ring finger. That was...

Are you a cat lover? If so, you know that our fuzzy feline friends have a lot of personality and they like to play by their own rules. Well, in Japan, there’s a shrine where the cats are in charge and us mere humans are just there to admire them…and pet them, if they are...

It’s a fact that as people get older, they become more isolated. After all, it’s just harder to get out an about, and the people you know have the same trouble. It’s also a face that often times aging people exercise less, if at all. So how do we solve the problem? Playgrounds! I have...
