Donald Deane — Thu, 09 May 2013 20:27:09 +0000

If movies and TV have taught us anything, it's that all mothers are NOT created equal.

Think about that the next time you forget to call your mom on Mother's Day.

Oh, moms. A generation of “digital immigrants,” our moms have a real love/hate relationship with technology.

12 People Who Did an Excellent Job of Quitting

Emerald Catron — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 20:16:11 +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.

If you don’t watch ‘Jeopardy!,’ then you don’t know that Alex Trebek can be a just a *touch* condescending to the contestants.

13 Tattoos That Make Us Go 'Whaat!?'

Cameron Simcik — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 14:25:34 +0000

Of course we know tattoos are permanent, which means the tattooed should usually opt for a design they wouldn’t mind having well into their twilight years.

Sterling Whitaker — Sun, 31 Mar 2013 14:30:43 +0000

AC/DC guitarist Angus Young may be one of the unlikeliest guitar heroes in rock music, simply for the fact that he's not trying to be a guitar hero at all.
