A hot button topic in the news these days, Supreme Court nominations – and the justices themselves – have come under increased scrutiny in recent years due to the fact that once approved, they serve for life. With increasing life spans for both men and women, justices can now be expected to serve an average...

One of my favorite things that happens is when you spot a pretty amazing optical illusion in an otherwise normal photo – bonus points when the illusion is a total accident. Let’s just say, you might think you know what you’re looking at in these 15 photos, but…take another look. And then take another look...

Who would have thought we could compile a list of hilarious tweets about produce? Not me, but then again, the internet (especially Twitter) never fails to surprise me in both good and bad ways. These are definitely a good surprise, so settle in and have a laugh! #15. And yet, it’s always a disappointment. #14....

I am a sugar addict. I didn’t used to be, but something about getting pregnant with my first son flipped a switch, and now my day doesn’t feel complete without a fix. But while I love diving into some tasty cake, I’ve never given much thought to how it might look if I ordered it...

It’s not a well-kept secret that our smartphones were designed to be addictive, and phone companies’ success at achieving that has many people calling smartphone addiction a growing threat to public health. You probably know this from your own usage, even if you don’t want to admit it. Maybe you even try your best to...

Facebook is a great way to stay connected …especially for older generations. When it’s tough to leave the house, social media allows you to check in on what your relatives are doing and write them nice notes. The downside is that something is always “not working.” Grandma’s been hacked multiple times, and often she sees...

It can be hard to think on your feet, which is one reason that game shows aren’t a surefire way to make a million…or even win a few bucks and pay back your travel expenses. In fact, just based on the outcomes of these types of shows (aka 1 winner), very few contestants leave with...

Most of us consider ourselves to be relatively well-read, educated, and, well…at least marginally bright. However, as bright as you may think you are, these 5 seemingly simple questions just might leave you questioning whether you really know as much as you thought you did. I, personally, choose to believe that these random facts have...

The four-fer of artistic talent awards is affectionately – and sometimes reverently or covetously – known as an EGOT, and only a handful of artists have managed to take home all four during their careers. That said, three more were added just this year, so maybe we’ll see the list begin grow more quickly as...

Whether you’re on a budget, love a good deal, like feeling as if you’re getting away with something, or all of the above, finding a loophole you can exploit – for however long – can feel as good as hitting the lottery. These 13+ people reveled in the moment, and you never know…maybe their experience...

If you’re not familiar with Jimmy Fallon’s hashtag game, you’re totally missing out. And when he asked his viewers to share some of their best (worst?) epic fails in a variety of categories, well…people really outdid themselves. It’s okay to laugh, you know. Because it didn’t happen to you. #15. Dad, no. #14. This should...

I love it when celebs jump on a meme like regular people. This one, where actors and actresses are sharing their first (or old, at any rate) headshots, is pure gold. It reminds us that everyone went through an awkward phase, that we all took photographs we thought were a good idea at the time,...

When you see a parrot in a movie or television show, chances are high that it’s going to play some kind of comedic role. The bird will often say something funny and/or inappropriate at exactly the right moment, winning laughs for itself and its poor, hapless human victim at the same time. But parrots don’t...

It’s no secret that chivalry is…well, if not dead, it’s certainly lacking. As a woman who has been pregnant twice in the past three years, I can confirm that people pretend not to notice unless they want to a) insult your weight or b) ask questions that are none of their business. I don’t have...

For most people, traveling is an amazing and joyous experience. But the more you travel, the more likely you are to run into the dark sides of the new streets you’re wandering. And that’s exactly what happened to these 15 people. #15. Incredibly lucky “I was traveling in Nicaragua several years ago when I got...
