Generally, when we think of beetles we imagine something black and vaguely menacing, slowly crawling towards our foot. GAH! It turns out, not all beetles are that way. Don’t get us wrong, a lot of them are, but some of them are super cute. Like, we might even swallow our pride and say the word [...]

Jeremy Taylor — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 01:45:41 +0000

Having your picture taken and taking a picture both require a certain degree of concentration. So when you’re taking a “selfie” (and performing both of these tasks at once) you tend to be pretty oblivious to anything else going on around you. Baseball reporter Kelly Nash almost learned this lesson the hard way while she [...]

Who Says Nothing Original Comes Out Of Hollywood Anymore? ME!

Craig Russell — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 05:03:44 +0000

It's possible they have ran out of ideas in Hollywood. Not only have they rehashed movie after movie and idea after idea, now they are remaking old TV shows into movies. That sentence makes it sound like they haven't been doing that for years. NOW they are taking shows that really were not all that successful and making them into movies. "Good Times" is an example.

Emerald Catron — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 00:00:11 +0000

We saw this amazing resignation cake and got inspired. Not to quit our jobs, but to admire the ways others have in the past. Our most "creative" quit was telling the owner of a Chinese buffet over the phone that they couldn't yell at us anymore, because we quit so there. Compared to these, that just isn't that impressive.

Emerald Catron — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 21:55:14 +0000

Well, the dogs don't seem particularly unhappy, so we guess this is okay. As long as dogs don't understand what dignity is, they'll probably be fine.

Owners in China have been stuffing their dogs into stocking and high heels, taking pictures of them, and putting them on the internet, because this is the world we live in now. Since you know you secretly want to see more of these, here you go:

Costumes and makeup played an important and often-overlooked role in making the six 'Star Wars' movies sensational sci-fi masterpieces that, even today, nothing has really matched.

It all started with Zeddie Little, who remained ridiculously photogenic while running a marathon.

Emerald Catron — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 21:12:39 +0000

As far as internet photo trends go, this one is certainly more fun than planking, Eastwooding or milking (don’t Google that one at work). Hadoken-ing, for lack of a better name, is a trend gaining popularity among Japanese students. Basically one person reenacts the “hadoken” attack from ‘Street Fighter,’ and everybody else plays along by [...]

Cassandra Rose — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 19:17:06 +0000

Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn and pro-golfer Tiger Woods have finally admitted they're dating (yes, even though she initially denied it). In our minds, their relationship was pretty much already confirmed when they lived on his yacht and Lindsey borrowed his private jet after she was injured a while back.

But now it's Facebook-official, you guys. And to celebrate their coupledom, they had professional portraits taken. Which, if you ask us, is ... well, kinda weird.

Cameron Simcik — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 04:59:49 +0000

We have no idea why, but animals are like, super talented when it comes to photography. Remember how they're master photobombers? That's just the beginning.
