It must take a special sort of person to take a job as a mall Santa during the holidays. For one thing, you have to look the part! Also, dealing with kids (and their parents’ expectations!) for hours every day can’t be the easiest task – especially when the season already has people stressed out....

Kids call things like they see them – and sometimes their youth, inexperience and innocence mean they see things far more clearly than the adults around them.. Like in these 15 instances, when they looked at an everyday thing and just knew it should be called something else – something better. Just scroll and see...

Most of us expect the news to be, if not impartial, at least revised and edited. When headlines like these 15 pop up, though, you almost hope the editors were out to coffee when things went to print – because that’s better than thinking they saw these and didn’t think there was a problem! 15....

Travel is one of those things people love to do even though the process can be tedious and best, and stressful at worst. We’re late, transportation is late, there are tons of rules to follow, and on and on – so maybe the best way to get through it is to be able to laugh...

I want to just begin by saying that receiving any of these things through a blood transfusion wouldn’t be problematic for most people, so it shouldn’t put you off receiving or giving blood. That said, the results of this Oregon State University study does offer some pretty interesting insights into what’s keeping many people in...

My best friend and I have been going strong for just over three decades at this point, and while neither of us is getting out of this friendship anytime soon, eight decades still seems like a long ways off. For Olive Woodward and Kathleen Saville, though, the decades might have seen them following their own...

Most people know the story of how the Grinch lived above Whoville and hated everything about Christmas but has a change of heart when he sees the real impact of his theft on the innocent, singing children (though the older I get, the more I sympathize with a guy who just wants to be left...

I know, I know, math, am I right? Some people like math in particular, some just enjoy a challenge to stretch their brains, and other weirdos thrive on both. If any of that describes you, you might want to give this “star-shaped geometry” problem a go. All you have to do is think back to...

There are circumstances when a person can legally bring an animal on a flight. Some airlines allow you to fly with your pet, either in the cabin or as checked baggage. All airlines are required to allow service animals to fly with their disabled humans. But in all circumstances, there are specific rules that apply,...

When it comes to one’s body, the person who lives in it knows it best. That said, there are some basic anatomy facts that you might think would be common knowledge across the board, whether you’re a man, woman, or gender fluid. Every adult should know certain, basic information, right? You would be wrong, my...

For literal centuries, most of the responsibility for long-term birth control solutions has fallen on female shoulders. And even though the side effects of non-barrier contraceptives range from annoying to life threatening, women have done it because being able to have some semblance of control over what happens to our bodies and lives is important....

No one likes to go to the doctor, and when you think about it, the experience is probably doubly uncomfortable for animals. After all, they don’t know why they’re there, they aren’t prepped (and can’t consent) for treatment, and the vet is a mostly-stranger who probably frightens them. So, it’s no wonder they put on...

Chances are that actor Richard Madden has popped up on your radar as of late, whether you were introduced to him as the ill-fated Robb Stark in Game of Thrones (The North Remembers), the handsome Prince Charming in Disney’s live action Cinderella, or the Elton John biopic Rocketman.  (Or in Bodyguard, which is SO good,...

Doctors are human. That means, among other things, that they are fallible, and they will make mistakes. Most of us try not to think about that fact too hard when they’re in charge of our lives, choosing instead to believe that the statistics are in our favor. Which they totally are, usually! And if you...
