Dads who enjoy spending quality quazy time with their kids are exemplary examples of manhood, especially when they embrace their child's geeky nature and go all out to impress their nerdy kin.
Nick Luciano's dad is one of these rare examples, and he is willing to do damn near anything to make his son smile, including making a fool of himself on video so his nerdy son can share his pride with the world.
When you feel like somebody is staring at you it's probably best to assume you're being paranoid, because if you could see how many times you were right about being watched you might not want to leave your house!
YouTuber TheSleeb was shooting some random street footage with his new camera while in Bilbao, Spain when he was spotted by this "dodgy looking fellow" who started walking towards him while staring straight into his soul.
It's crazy that the guy on the sidewalk spotted TheSleeb from so far away, but who's the bigger creep- the guy who's staring or the cameraman shooting footage of a stranger on the sidewalk!
In the early days of companies trying to sell us stuff we don't want by flooding our mailboxes with junk mail "spam" the seller's goals were typically much simpler.
They weren't necessarily trying to scam us out of our paychecks, they were just trying to get people to choose their company over the competition, and felt direct advertising was the ticket to success.
Junk mail "spammers" used the postmasters to help them pass along their "important messages" to people in town, in a time when most people were delighted to find
For a variety of reasons, the first junk mail (targeted mail, generic mail . . . take your pick) went to and through local postmasters. Small town postmasters knew anybody and everybody in town, knew their businesses, knew their interests, knew their foibles. Much such mail was addressed directly to the postmaster, asking him to pass it along to someone in town likely to be interested in the product.
Dick Sheaff posted an interesting historical article on Ephemera Society about how Junk Mail Is Nothing New, which includes a couple dozen endearing examples of what junk mail looked like in the olden days.
Massage therapy may not heal all that ails you, but when it comes to relieving those sore and knotted muscles through manual manipulation, and thereby relieving stress, massage actually works.
Our bodies carry the weight of our stress in specific places, knotting up the muscles in those locations which then pass the weight of the load off to other muscle groups, resulting in tightness, aching and, in extreme cases, loss of mobility.
By massaging five locations regularly you can really help to relieve the stress your body is carrying- start with the muscle in your palm next to/just below the thumb, as pictured above.
Next hit the point where the neck muscles attach to the skull, which can lead to shoulder pain and stress headaches when they become knotted and stiff.
And last, but certainly not least, is a point that can help keep your dogs from barking- the point right around where your phalanges (toe bones) meet the metatarsels (larger foot bones). Massage this point after walking all day and feel the sweet relief!
Kids and adults alike have grand ideas about where a toy boat will go when they set it afloat at the beach, but most toy ships simply aren't cut out for a sea voyage and end up either dashed against the rocks or sunk.
So when the fourth grade class from St. Andrew's School of Math and Science set the "Carolina Dreamer" free off the coast of South Carolina they had no idea how far it would float before sinking.
But that little toy boat proved it was made of the right stuff and somehow survived a 4000 mile trip to Wales, where it was discovered by a mom and her son who were walking along the beach.
"We were looking across the waves when it literally sailed right to us," Helen Hinks told the BBC."It was magical."
The class was able to track most of the ship's epic eight month voyage with an onboard GPS tracker, and now they're waiting to see if it will survive the return trip home.
When people hunt down a great new home to call their own they usually just have to do some straightforward renovations and repairs to make it livable, turning it into the
But where does a new homeowner begin when they're renovating a hoarder's house?
Sue and John Fogwell knew they'd have their work cut out for them when they bought an old ivy covered house in Philadelphia's Main Line neighborhood, since the hoarder owner had left all of his stuff behind when he moved out four years earlier.
"The first thing we saw was floor-to-ceiling containers that would usually be in a garage to hold nuts and bolts," Sue says. Next to that, endless piles of cassettes, tapes, magazines, and more. "It was just wild. Every inch of space was covered."
Luckily, the man wasn't a heap of trash kind of hoarder, but the man's "collection" was so massive it couldn't be contained inside the house:
"I was suffocating in the house, so I excused myself and went outside. That's when I saw it: what I guesstimated to be about 1,000 plastic bins. Full with junk and totally covering the backyard." Every fencepost had a spotlight, so Bill could keep an eye on his bins at night. There was a (working!) phone attached to a tree and wires hanging everywhere.
It took them nine months to clean out the house, but here's the kicker- the owner who had amassed the hoard had to watch over the entire process, making the clutter the least of their problems.
Most police chases end in an arrest or the perp's death, and if the lucky criminal makes it out of the ordeal alive they usually just rant angrily while being thrown into the back of a squad car.
But the guy in this video was born to be interviewed, and even though he had just led the police on an 100-mile-long chase he was extremely candid about the thrill of the chase and the weed in his pocket.
It must be nice to know that your mom's going to see you being interviewed on the news after a grand police chase, wait 'til she tells her Bridge club all about her famous son!
The pompadour hairstyle bridges the gap between royalty and street punks, since it was named after Madame de Pompadour but was later adopted by Greasers, Rockabilly kids and Zoot Suiters who were seen as lowlifes by mainstream society.
Nowadays many of the freewheelin' folks who sport a pomp like to take it as far as they can, their huge hair helping them stand out in a world full of shaved heads and droopy hairdos.
Pompadour peacocking has led to the formation of some epic level hair helmets, as exemplified by the Japanese greasers who like to go out dancing in the streets.
With any luck the younger generations will see the value of a classic hairstyle and carry on the pompadour tradition!
Don't you hate it when the big bad guy in your favorite video game keeps repeating some cocky line about how unprepared and weak you are, even though you know you'll be wiping the floor with them in a few minutes? Their epic level bragging doesn't strike fear into a gamer's heart, it just makes players want to say "wow" as they hit the big blowhard with everything they've got and watch its health bar drain to zero. We get it- you're a big demonic badass who will be tough to take down, but true MMO heads know that any enemy can be dropped so long as everybody in the party is doing their job!

Not all star systems are a result of cosmic radiation and galactic explosions, some are made by humanoids who wish to pay homage to someone great. In this case the subject of the homage isn't a someone but rather a something- that brave ball shaped droid BB-8. Without his help poor Rey wouldn't have made it off Jakku alive, and that friend of the force Luke Skywalker would have remained hidden, but thanks to BB-8's efforts we can all rest assured the First Order will get what's coming to them!

English is a fluid language, and therefore new words are being added to the dictionary all the time in an effort to keep the English language sounding fresh for new generations.
And now that the Bicentennial Babies born in 1976 are about to turn 40 it's a great time to look at an assortment of words that are turning 40 right along with Generation X.
These are the words that shaped our generation, like the Black Helicopters watching us from above that the Ditzy people didn't seem to notice.
We grew up with Chicken Nuggets, Jazzercise, Europop and Trekkies who write Fan Fic in our lives, and the term Meme was born in 1976 too, although it had yet to blossom into the obsession it is today.
Images of superheroes and sidekicks are likely to pop into your head when someone mentions that a duo has been going around foiling dastardly plans.
But in the case of DuckManBoy they're not really heroes, just a boy with a duck's body and a man with a duck's head battling an evil foodie hell bent on turning them both into duck puree.
Oh, and there's a ticked off platypus wearing a pirate hat too!
The winter chill will soon give way to the spring thaw, so folks who don't live in a place where it's freezing cold year round will be making the most of the last winter snowstorms.
Some will make snow angels, others will pelt people with snowballs, but a select few will use hard packed snow as a sculpting medium, creating some mighty dreamy snow sculptures to amaze and astound.
These skilled sculptors use tools and knowhow to transform a seemingly soft medium like snow into remarkably realistic, and surprisingly hard edged, sculptures that will someday melt in the sun.
Most cows just moo through life thinking of nothing else but where their next meal will come from, but Bessie was different. She understood the call of the wild, saw the merit in the savage life of a lupine predator, and dreamed of one day finding a pack of her own. Now the wolves saw old Bessie as a weeks worth of fine dining, but that didn't stop that crazy cow from baying at the moon in an attempt to prove her allegiance, but as she would soon discover the application process for joining a wolf pack is a real killer!

Those little blue critters who live in brightly colored mushroom houses can be mighty annoying, as they have nothing better to do with their day but prank humans who happen to be passing by. And although one of them has a beard and tells everyone to call him "Papa" he's just as immature as the rest of those little blue brats. So if you find your foot stuck in a tiny pit full of animal waste, or feel smurfberry juice running down your face as you walk under a tree, just remember that you're in Smurf country and try not to go full Gargamel on those pint sized pranksters!
