Sometimes, people have been around for so long you forget they’re still with us, and when you realize they still are, it’s a pleasant surprise. There are loads of people out there who are way past their heyday, who still manage to keep on trucking along. I mean, Keith Richards?! How? It turns out that...

Kids say and do the darndest things – in fact, waiting to hear what’s going to come out of their mouths next is one of the best things about parenting. But sometimes those darndest things must be punished, no matter how funny and/or awesome they are. Doling out punishments is one of the hardest things...

In Ireland, a 17-year-old girl accused a 27-year-old man of raping her. In the course of the trial, to prove that she actually “wanted it” and that the act was consensual as he claimed, the defense paraded her lace-front thong around the courtroom. As evidence. Really. He was acquitted, even though a witness testified he...

I waited tables for the better part of a decade, and, for me, anyone ordering an expensive steak cooked more than medium deserved a secret eyeroll – especially when they then proceeded to ask for steak sauce because their meal was “a little dry.” When you take a nice piece of meat and ask the...

If puns are your thing, these jokes probably aren’t for you – but if you like all things literal, then these 15 funnies will be right up your alley. #15. Isn’t it? #14. I’m going to give this a try. #13. All smartasses welcome. #12. First and last day. #11. Um, duh? #10. I lol’d....

There are plenty of stories out there about people’s pets saving their lives, but that kind of makes sense. We have relationships with our pets, after all, and one would assume that they care about our well-being similarly to how we do about theirs (or maybe that’s just anthropomorphizing?). Not to mention that animals like...

We all get stuck in a rut sometimes, or simply stay within our own little circles in our own little worlds. But thanks to the internet, it’s easier than ever to get tips and advice from strangers who’ve tried different things, and can therefore offer some pretty savvy advice when we’re looking for a change....

Stereotypes aren’t always appropriate, but it’s also important to know when and how to laugh at yourself, right? These 15 Canadians are 100% sure the moments below stopped them in their tracks, and made them laugh and think, “Damn, I am such a Canadian right now.” #15. Sorry for the mess “Got tooth knocked out...

Recently we’ve lost a number of high profile human beings to depression, and there are millions of anonymous people who battle the illness every day – with so much public exposure to what used to be a private issue, many in our society have educated themselves. They are aware that it is no more of...

Coincidences are kind of strange things. They range from the mundane and slightly odd to the totally unbelievable. The 12+ below fall into the last category. If you’re like me, you’ll be doing double takes all over the place while reading them. #15. It turned out to be my father “Went on a vacation to...

We all have our little quirks, and that extends to worries about what we might need in the case of any type of emergency. Chances are there’s something you can’t leave the house without even if you’ve never used it…because on the day you leave it behind, you will inevitably need it. After reading through...

Some people dislike (or fear) raccoons because of their tendency to destroy property and then stare at the indignant human while they rail on about the mess. Raccoons don’t give a single f*ck, but I don’t know, that kind of makes me like them more. Think about it, you guys — aren’t they cute with...

If you’re a parent, you’re probably already playing with your kid’s LEGOs. Let’s face it, they’re fun, it’s a way to connect with your kids, and your reward for picking the damn things up before stepping on them later in your bare feet. So LEGO is taking the idea and running with it. The toymaker...

Let’s just get this out of the way right up front — I absolutely detest everything about Frozen and therefore am grumpy about the fact that so many people in America love the princesses from that movie above all others. I mean, Elsa isn’t even a princess, she’s a queen, but I’m guessing that she’s...

If you’re a Disney lover – and honestly, who isn’t (even if it’s deep down) – then you’re going to love the facts below. Some of them might even surprise the most savvy among you! #15. Beyoncé refused to audition for the role of Tiana, thinking she would be offered the role anyway. I mean, she is...
