Baby falls 3 stories; saved by mattress Earlier this week in Burbank, CA a child fell 3 stories but was luckily saved by a stranger and his box spring mattress. Konrad Lightner spotted a toddler hanging from a third-story window and called the police. Miraculously, Lightner happened to have a mattress with him and placed it next to the apartment complex. He waited for the child to fall, caught him, and both collapsed onto the mattress. The toddler is doing fine with now, with apparent signs of trauma. Lightner explained,

For those in the polar vortex, this warm stuff could not come a moment too soon. But for the next two weeks, let’s return to the great indoors for some special hardwood madness. Whether you attended a division 1 powerhouse or took one class at a community college, we all appreciate the NCAA tournament. It’s the closest thing we have to magic, only it’s real. And so is this
Read MoreThe Malaysia Airlines flight that disappeared en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing has now been missing for over a week. Flight MH 370, with 239 passengers and crew on board, vanished the morning of Saturday, March 8. What was initially assumed to be a tragic crash or accident has now developed into a real-life version of the TV show Lost. There are now increasingly credible signs that someone on the jet deliberately diverted the plane only about one hour after departure. The passengers were mostly Chinese and Malaysian, including

Read MoreWoman Microwaves Cat for Attacking Goldfish Laura Cunliffe from Northern England was sentenced to jail after microwaving her kitten because she believed it attacked her goldfish. Cunliffe claims she put it in for 5 minutes but removed it after one minute when she realized what she had done. The kitten died soon after. Apparently Laura has been suffering from psychotic depression and sectioned under the Mental Health Act 20 times. No statements have been taken from Cunliffe but the courts seem furious and her family is blaming it on poor
Read MoreI read an article the other day from Elite Daily regarding a new app from Spritz that allows you to read a novel in 90 minutes or less. I love books and reading and words and everything that has to do with any of those thing. Hence, this automatically caught my attention. According to Spritz, their program formats words to line up with the eye’s natural movement while reading. This involves something called the “Optimal Recognition Point” (ORP) which refers to the precise point where our brain deciphers all of the
Read MoreWe think about it every day. Total strangers pass us on the street and we think maybe they could be the one – or at least wonder what it would be like to kiss them. Thanks to filmmaker Tatia Pilieva, we don’t have to wonder anymore. Her short film First Kiss took the internet by storm last night, featuring twenty strangers in gorgeously simplistic black and white making the instant jump to first base. Moments after meeting, each “couple” was asked to engage in a little game of tonsil hockey. As you can
Read MoreMassachusetts Rules ‘upskirt’ photos legal This week, the state of Massachusetts declared upskirt photos totally legal. For those of you who do not know, an “upskirt” photo is one where someone takes a secret photograph underneath another person’s clothing. This often occurs to women wearing skirts. The high court ruled that this did not violate the law because the women photographed were not nude or even partially nude. The case that took this issue to court involves Michael Robertson, who was arrested in 2010 for taking photos on his cell
Read MoreI think it’s time we give some much needed appreciation to the best radio station there is: NPR. Or for you newbies, National Public Radio. First off, they won’t play that annoying JBiebs or Miley Cyrus song 6 times in one hour. NPR is all about giving you relevant, worldly knowledge. Whether it be current events or the latest in gardening, I’m always learning something new from NPR. They tell me the news, quirky facts, and touching stories; they talk about debatable topics, and so much more. This is a
Read MoreWe all know that Sarah Jessica Parker looks like a horse, and there’s plenty of consensus that Taylor Lautner looks like an alpaca. But they aren’t the only celebrities that have some interesting doppelgängers. Here are some of the best celebrity lookalikes you may not have noticed: Nate Ruess and Lou Lou Who Ron Perlman and an angry baboon Marshawn Lynch and Predator Colin Kaepernick and a proboscis monkey Lena Dunham and Homer Simpson Miley Cyrus and Simple Jack
Read MoreWhen I was a kid, my mom always knew to save the newspaper the day after the Academy Awards. It was my prized possession; pieces of paper documenting all of the happenings of the night before—opinions on the dresses, the dates, the scandals, the letdowns, the surprises, the not-so-surprises. There was always a splash of judgment across the media, claiming what went wrong that year. But for me, it was the memory of who stood there on stage, in front of their peers expressing sheer gratitude of acknowledgement. Year after
Read MoreIn somewhat of an upset, after J Law took home the Golden Globe in January, “12 Years a Slave” star Lupita Nyong’o won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar at last night’s ceremony. Before Christoph Waltz called her name, many of us hadn’t heard of Miss Lupita, daughter of Mexico City and graduate of the Yale School of Drama, but since she took the stage we can’t wait to see what she does next. Check out her show-stopping acceptance speech here: Not since Jennifer Lawrence tripped on her way to the
Read MoreFor years he’s been known as the millionaire in blue jeans, a hero for the working class. So maybe it’s fitting that Bruce Springsteen paid humble tribute to Lorde’s diamond-in-the-rough hit “Royals” at his show in Auckland, New Zealand two nights ago. While not the best cover of the teenage superstar’s calling card, it makes a moving acoustic ballad that could easily have been recorded in the Boss’ early days. “Long ago I was the next big thing,” he adds in his trademark rumble. And it’s true. Big things have
Read MoreJapanese Cat Food Restaurant…For Humans! So leave it to Japan to start the most obscure trends. Earlier this week the Nestle Purina PerCare Company opened the Restaurant Mon Petit in Tokyo (can someone please translate that website for me? I’m really curious as to what it says). Feb 22 was Cat Day in Japan, which is technically an unofficial holiday, but clearly a big deal if they opened a whole restaurant for the occasion. Anywho. For you cat lovers out there this restaurant is only open for a limited time so hurry
Read MoreThe Hollywood Forever Cemetery may be known for its late-summer screenings and concerts among the dead, but tucked away in one of its many offices sits an unsung hero of the movie industry. Scott Johnson, proprietor of Scott’s Lookalikes – Hollywood’s premiere agency for actors who want to make a living resembling someone more famous, sits behind his desk (really, just a circular table in the conference room). The “office” is decorated with knock-off award statuettes and framed photos of his clients (I could swear one looks just like Jack
