Most people who inhale helium talk for a few seconds, laugh and then get over it, but rapper Mac Lethal (previously featured) decided to do something a little more productive and entertaining with his helium use. This rap is pretty impressive and incredibly fast. There might be some NSFW language, but if there is, I couldn't tell with the speed and high pitch of his voice.

Idris Elba is helping to raise money for the W.E. Can Lead charity by giving donors a chance to win a Valentine's dinner with him. To promote the contest, he starred in this adorable video where children tell him what makes a good Valentine's Day date. As always, the kids' answers are simply adorable -and you can finally learn whether you should be a bad boy or a good boy, or whether you should or shouldn't eat beans on your date.
There's no doubt that otters are adorable, but who knew they could eat at a table like civilized people as well? Or at least he does... until he just gets tired of it and then he goes back to laying and munching. Ultimately, this otter is all of us, playing our part to be "polite" until we get home alone and take off our pants so we can eat a tub of ice cream while sprawled out on the couch.

These days Valentine's Day cards are exclusively positive things, even if they're just between friends. But back before we ghosted and unfriended people, the Victorians had a special kind of card for people to say exactly how little they though of someone.
The cards were incredibly popular once though we never see such nasty messages these days, but not everyone was a fan even back then. At one point 25,000 vinegar Valentine's were held in a Chicago post office because they were considered unfit to send.

Lady and the Tramp's pasta scene is one of the most classic scenes in animation history. But while it's cute to see dogs roll meatballs with their noses and suck on a string of pasta, it's kind of weird (and hilarious) to see humans do the exact same thing. It's even funnier when those humans are total strangers who are trying to be polite and not creep each other out while still trying to slurp a noodle together. It's surprising how hard it is to find a shared noodle without breaking it, but then that's exactly what makes this video so fun.

There have been comic book tv shows since the 1960s, but there's never been more than there are now. So which ones are worth watching? Depending on who you ask, all of them or none of them. And no one really agrees on which ones are the best. But if you're the debating type, you'll want to check out this list on Complex ranking 20 of the best comic book TV shows. Personally, I think Agent Carter and Luke Cage should be way higher on the list -but then, by next year there will probably 20 more shows that can be ranked on a list like this.
So check out the full list over at Complex and feel free to argue your favorite show's case here.

Are you tired of seeing posts about Trump and congress in your Facebook feed every day? Do you miss seeing cat videos and videos of your friend's babies? Don't worry, you don't need to ditch the social network all together, just check out this CBS article.

Whether you want to go local or make a big romantic trip out of state, the article is filled with fantastic travel ideas.
There's something fun about his-and-her towels in a bathroom -but why should the concept stop there? Now you can really class up your bathroom with a his-and-her toilet paper holder designed to hold both wine and beer. It's also a great gift for those heavy drinkers who don't want to commit to either a can of beer or a glass of wine.
You can pick up this excellent Valentine's Day gift at SOLIDink3D's Etsy shop.
America's a big place and it's also kind of weird in some ways. TopTenz has collected ten strange things about the US that might actually seem normal to Americans, but seem very odd from an outsider's perspective. For example, beastiality is still legal in nine US states but premarital sex or co-habitating before marriage is still illegal in four states. Also, 30% of Americans would rather save money than get necessary medical treatment.
Perhaps most strangely, the American government has official advice for those who want to report Elvis sightings.
So check out the whole list at TopTenz.

Big tattoos are great and all, but sometimes a small one is just as good. These Star Wars fans may not have big ink, but their love of the series is certainly unquestionable.

The small designs are a subtle way to fully align yourself with your favorite characters without having to announce to the world that you support the Light or Dark Side.
