A young mother is sharing on Facebook heart wrenching photos of her daughter and father who both have cancer and the impact the disease has on families.

This is so cool. Approximately 600 men showed up for a “Breakfast with Dad” event at a Texas middle school when officials put out a call for assistance.

An unsuspecting visitor to the Chimelong Safari Park, located in Guangzhou, southern China, was on the menu wish list of the zoo’s white Bengal Tiger. And under normal circumstances, the poor guy would not have stood a chance. Unbeknownst to the man, he was standing in front of the tiger’s cage just lounging and chatting […]

I never understood the reason why Oregonians couldn’t pump their own gas. Why would there be a law stating that a gas station attendant must pump the gas? The more I thought about it, the more sense it started to make: people are idiots. They rarely act in their own self-interest and they usually don’t […]

Boston got slammed by this week’s blizzard. And no… it’s not from global warming. However, if you listen to the Weather Channel, you’d think it was. The storm dumped over a foot of snow and led to the most catastrophic flooding in Boston in over 40 years. If that wasn’t bad enough, the flooding froze. […]

This is every parent’s nightmare; accidentally harming their child. There are so many stories detailing the horrible things that can happen the moment a parent lets their attention wander for even a second and all of them are heartbreaking. In Louisiana, a mother accidentally ran over her 1 year-old son, who had somehow gotten behind […]

Normally these kinds of videos come from some other part of the world, but video of a snake the size of a small human being pulled from a toilet in Texas recently went viral and it has me seriously concerned. I am the queen of worrying about things that may never, ever happen to me, […]

Despite laser treatment, she was still seeing her body hair grow back at an astonishing rate. […]

Okay, can we talk about how this is my ultimate fear, for a second? I’ve seen a lot of horror movies and every time someone gets into an elevator I have to look away. I’m so afraid of walking into and out of elevator doors for this exact reason. Not that there is any realistic […]

As a child, I never understood the reason why Oregonians couldn’t pump their own gas. Why would there be a law stating that a gas station attendant must pump the gas? As an adult, it made a lot more sense to me: people are clueless idiots. They don’t act in their own self-interest a lot […]

When a woman finds out that she is pregnant, she is overwhelmed by one of two emotions: Dread or Joy. This depends on how much she wants the child(ren) in question. But what happens when you think you’re pregnant, only to realize that the situation is much more dire than you thought? Lauren Knowles of […]

The YouTube channel To Catch A Cheater is outrageously popular and allows suspicious mates to test their partner’s ability to remain faithful to them in the face of extreme temptation. One episode took an ironic twist as a woman, who is clearly cheating on her boyfriends, tests them both to see if they are loyal […]

This is the epitome of trust issues. I do not understand couples like this. You are supposed to love and trust one another. A woman came home from work unannounced during her lunch break at work to check to see if her boyfriend was cheating on her. Who does something like that? I guess she […]

Two teen boys ordered a pizza from Pizza Hut and in the “special requests” section they asked for the delivery driver to write a joke on the box. So he did, but he went just a touch too far with it. I didn’t even know you could request such a thing, but I guess it’s […]

Two teen boys ordered a pizza from Pizza Hut and in the “special requests” section they asked for the delivery driver to write a joke on the box. So he did. Not long after that, he found himself sitting in the unemployment line. Apparently his joke was a little too inappropriate, according to the mother […]

For all the parents out there, I want to ask you a question: Do you think you could love something as much as you love your kids? Now, do you ever see yourself loving something MORE than you love your kids? Most rational people would say “Absolutely not,” right? But in a story too bizarre […]

This is the epitome of trust issues. A woman came home during her lunch break to check see if her boyfriend was cheating on her. As you can probably imagine, this relationship doesn’t seem to be in the best of shape. “What are you doing?” The boyfriend asks as she walks in the room. She […]

Once again, Chick-fil-A rides to the rescue. There was a massive power outage and cancellations yesterday at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport. Chick-fil-A is normally closed on Sunday, but they called their employees and took food to the airport. This is the busiest airport in the world. They gave out yummy food to stranded travelers both in […]

There has been a horrific Amtrak derailment in Tacoma, Washington. The train was carrying 78 passengers and 5 crew when it went off the tracks at 7:30 am. The train was traveling at 81 mph.

Bethany Lynn Stephens took her two large pit bulls for a walk in the woods last week, as she was apt to do quite often. But this time she never returned. That’s because by all appearances she was attacked and mauled to death by her own two dogs. Her father reported her missing. Law enforcement […]

This is one desperate guy. Although he is pretty straightforward with what he is saying, do you think it goes a little too far? He just met this woman the night before at a bar and he has a lot to say to her. “Good morning Julia, it’s me Joe. I just wanted to say, […]

What a touching and inspiring act of generosity this is. Bernard Darty, who is an 83 year-old Holocaust survivor, just donated $1 million to help wounded veterans. I believe the donation is split between the Red Cross and the Wounded Warriors Project. The donation was made in memory of the American soldiers who saved his […]

I would simply hate to be at this guy’s funeral knowing how he died. How awkward for his family… how humiliating. I’m sure this isn’t the way that Lawrence LaFave, a veteran CBS engineer, thought he would go out. But he was kind of asking for it. I’m sure it came as a shock to […]

This sounds like an excellent way to wind up deader than a door nail. It would certainly qualify for the Darwin Awards and cleanse the gene pool. Mike Hughes is a 61 year-old moron from California who believes the Earth is flat. Yep, he’s one of those special people with stuffing for brains. He says […]

Remember that old, terrible Nick Cage flick “Face-Off?” Where they were able to surgically remove the face of Nick Cage and put it on John Travolta? Or something like that? It was an awful movie, to be sure, but it looks like the idea has come to life. Andy Sandness and Calen Ross are our […]

The world may be full of evil people doing evil things, but sometimes you run across a story like this and it makes your heart sweet with joy. Seeing someone who is in no position to give anything to someone do whatever they can to help someone who is in a bad situation is just […]

There’s a good reason hikers and outdoorsmen fear bears… they maul and they kill. In Montana and Wyoming, when I was a kid, we were warned to be very careful of grizzly bears. They like to hang around women’s restrooms and camps. This brings back memories of that. A man from Pennsylvania came face to […]

Fining homeless people who beg for money seems counter intuitive, but that’s not stopping people from trying. Some rich town in the UK has decided to fine anyone who approaches another person for money. This would include hanging out on the street with a sign and a tin can. The town in question is Royal […]

An 11-year-old-girl from South Carolina turned into another statistic when she tragically ended her life with a rifle. Toni Rivers is the girl that is reported to have spoke with her friends, indicating that she ‘couldn’t take it anymore’, referring to the bullies she had been experiencing at school. She told them she was going […]

Just when you think that everything in America is falling apart, something happens in the rest of the world that makes you think, “Wow, things aren’t all that bad here.” Yes, the entire world is a dumpster fire economically, socially, morally and politically, but you have to admit that there are some lines that simply […]
