The law is a funny thing. Many states have outdated laws on their books that involve antiquated social issues like women holding hands with men in public and where you’re allowed to tie up your horse downtown.

When you think of flooring options, what comes to mind? Carpet, tile, hardwood, maybe a nice laminate.

Follow the link after the jump.
Jumping on the bed is one of the carefree rites of childhood that you probably stopped doing long before you started paying rent or a mortgage. Reuben Reynoso, an adult, makes his living jumping on mattresses.
Happy Halloween all you Halloweeners! Aside from the whole boatloads of candy thing, there are two awesome things we're excited about today: it's socially acceptable to dress up like a disgustingly gruesome zombie in public, and we get to nerd out over jack-o-lanterns.
