Little Girl Seriously Cannot Say Banana
Is this video adorable? Or is this kid just not even trying? We're going to stick with adorable, since Christmas wasn't too long ago. She can say apple, but this little girl can't say banana. At all. We'd like to hear her try some other fruits, because if any of them are as bad as this, well, that will be a great day for the internet...
2012’s Dumbest Criminals Are Painfully Dumb
It turns out to make it onto a list of the dumbest criminals, you have to actually be pretty dumb. Granted, we can't all be masterminds, but it probably doesn't take much to know you shouldn't make a YouTube video boasting about the bank you just robbed. Or tweet about punching a guy in the face. Nor should you get into a fist fight over a piece of birthday cake.
Awesome Dad Builds Spaceship for Son
This guy's Dad Level = Outer space. With some donated old electronics and a master control board found in a TV station's dumpster, he built his son a spaceship. Then Redditor JeremiahGordon shared his results with the world. We must admit, we're pretty impressed. Take a look!
Young Cancer Patient Meets His Hero
Professional wrestlers may seem like tough guys, but underneath their shiny spandex outfits and long, flowing hair (clearly a sign of ultimate masculinity), they have hearts of gold. Daniel Bryan, for example, recently met with a seven-year-old boy who has had brain cancer for almost four years, and says he's Bryan's biggest fan. It's okay if you need to go grab some Kleenex before you look at the
See Over 800 Santas Running in Germany
Roughly 800 people put on Santa costumes for the Fourth Annual Michendorf Santa Run in Michendorf, Germany. The race is sponsored by Laufclub Michendorf (which translated means Michendorf Running Club, imagine that) and is 10 kilometers long. You can't quite tell from these pictures, but it actually began snowing pretty hard during the race, which probably makes these the most Christmas-y photos e
Chances Are This LEGO Video Will Make You Cry
Well, this is basically the perfect recipe for tears. A young boy with Asperger's Syndrome who plays with LEGOs to improve his social skills had a dilemma. He saved all of his money for two years to buy a LEGO train set, but by the time he had enough money, it was discontinued...
Conan O’Brien Offers a Senior’s Guide to Texting
Thanks to Team Coco for giving this educational guide to texting for seniors to the world. But you might not want to let your grandparents see it. Unless you want them to have constant, instant access to making you feel bad in that special grandparent way, that is...
The Wackiest Angry Tweets About the Election
Maybe not everybody is not happy with the outcome of the presidential election yesterday. In fact, definitely everybody is not happy with it. These tweets are (very entertaining) proof of that. Please stop crying, Victoria Jackson, you'll ruin your mascara and get dehydrated. Enjoy!
Mr. Burns Endorses Mitt Romney in New Video
It's the day before the election, and the Mitt Romney endorsements are flying in! The first came from Joss Whedon (who strongly believes Romney can jumpstart the zombie apocalypse). This one is from 'The Simpsons' bad guy Mr. Burns (who is the cartoon embodiment of corporate greed)...
Amazing Story of Survival During Hurricane Sandy
There have been a lot of awful or inspiring stories coming out of Hurricane Sandy. This manages to be both. A man found a note in his house scrawled by a person who had taken a blanket to keep hypothermia at bay. The author of the note was sure he was dying.
