People who deliver mail often have a reputation for not exactly loving the dogs on their route – with good reason, perhaps, because I’m sure they see their fair share of pooches that aren’t exactly friendly. But UPS driver Jason “Jay” Hardesty is looking to improve working relationship between him and the dogs on his...

You know, if he were a real person and not a character. I’m not sure anyone is surprised by these findings – though the fact that the Medical Journal of Australia did a study on James Bond’s drinking habits probably raised a few eyebrows. The research does cast Bond’s sexy, devil-may-care, playboy image into somewhat...

If you’ve ever wandered through a Goodwill or other thrift shop, then you’ve probably got some pretty high expectations of this list. I mean, if that’s what’s on the shelves, what gets donated that doesn’t make the cut? Below are 15 solid examples. #15. The extra stuff inside. A grinder with weed still in it,...
