Sure, he looks adorable while he's rolling around with this plastic straw, but he's not trying to play -he's trying to get someone's attention so they will bring him a milkshake already. Sorry Leo, I would help if I could.

Want to breakup with someone but can't devote the two seconds of mental energy it will take to breakup with them via text? As Apple once loved to say, "there's an app for that." Just select the circumstances of your breakup and the app will do the rest.

For some people, double stuff doesn't have nearly enough filling. For others, even regular Oreos have a little too much filling. That's why Redditor EternallyXIII invented the Moreo, the best innovation in Oreos since their creation. Seriously, someone get Nabisco on the line to get these things made.

There are plenty of TV dramas based on real people or real events, but comedy is largely more imaginative and therefore, more often fiction. Even so, you’d be surprised how many of your favorite characters and plots in sitcoms are actually based on real life people and events. Here are five such examples.
M*A*S*H
Obviously the setting of M*A*S*H is the very real Korean war, but the TV sitcom was based on a film that was, in turn based on a book by Dr. H. Richard Hornberger, a military surgeon who served in Korea. Corporal “Radar” O’Reilly was based on company clerk Don Shafer, who served beside the doctor in the war and also had the nickname “Radar.” Major Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan was based on two different nurses that served in Korea, Hotlips Hammerly and Janie Hall. Hammerly had a similar disposition and look as the fictional version, but Hall played a direct role in the character’s development, regularly contributing to the show with her real-life stories.
Not only were a few of the characters inspired by real people, but many of the plots used in the early seasons are based on stories the production team got from interviews with real MASH surgeons.

Greendale may seem pretty over-the-top, but it is based on Dan Harmon’s real experiences at Glendale Community College, where he got involved in a study group and began a friendship with a group of people he otherwise had nothing in common with. Harmon based Jeff on himself, acknowledging that he was self-centered and excessively independent before the group made him recognize the value of connecting with other people.
As for the delightfully bizarre Abed, he wasn’t based on a member of Harmon’s study group, but a friend of his who is simply obsessed with pop culture. Of course, Abed Gheith, the real life version of the character is quick to point out that he’s not quite as odd as the highly exaggerated Abed, “I think I’m a bit more aware socially. I can tell when people are uncomfortable… It seems like the one on the show has no idea that he’s around other people. Like he's watching them on TV. So he's kind of a kid-like version of me.”

We had a few kids in our cosplay round up, but the kids in Mary Sue's collection are pretty darn amazing. I'm particularly in awe of the child wearing a Predator costume who is way too young to have ever seen the movie itself.

Sure Rube Goldberg machines are cool, but when you add in dogs to the equation, they are awesome. This might just be an ad, but when it's an ad this cute and nerdy, who are we to complain?

Sure, in the 1900s, people were more accepting of those with differences, but as Curtis Tiegs shows in this poster, if the X-Men took place in the 1800s, mutants would almost certainly be circus stars. Crime fighting circus stars... now that's a show I'd pay 10 cents to see.
Forget glass bowls, bread bowls or even tortilla bowls. The bacon bowl allows you to eat all of your favorite foods inside a tasty, crunchy, fatty bowl made out of bacon. Of course, you could just put your bacon inside a muffin tin and avoid buying another stupid gizmo.

Sloths are known for being lazy, but this little guy doesn't mind doing a little work around the house as long as it means he still gets to keep hanging around. You can get your own awesome sloth key holder from Etsy seller CuriousBurrow.
Yee haw! That is one cool dog complete with a mobile phone and sun glasses and if the dog is cool, then the cat riding him is even cooler. Apparently, these two are a common sight in Kunming, China.
Did you know the 23rd was National Hot Dog Day? I certainly didn't, but if I did, I'd certainly have tried my hand at making one of the many tasty dogs featured on Food Beast that day. I'm particularly interested in the poutine dog by Portland's The Daily Dog.
Even before this little one can start hearing Harry Potter stories before bed time, Cayden will be falling asleep with Harry Potter stories under him. Photographer Lindsey Lee Hartsell took this image of the angel, whose parents are serious Potter nerds.
We've all seen videos of skateboarding bulldogs before, but for owners who aren't quite sure how to get their dogs rolling, Ivan Juscamaita is here to help. His weekly school session in Brazil is the first organized effort to educate dogs to skateboard.
Excuse me while I book a flight to Brazil really quick...not to train my dog, but just to watch a class and die of cuteness.
Sure the pony is a little disfigured, but what more do you expect from a pony that lives in Middle Earth? You didn't really think they look just like our ponies did you?
I know we just posted a whole giant gallery of Comic Con cosplay, but it's hard to resist posting one this clever.
