This is a classic case of a dude who really wanted a phone. You'd have to to break through hospital security, go into the isolation ward and snatch it from somebody with the Ebola virus.
Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, passed away this weekend from complications caused by recent heart surgery. He was 82 years old.
It's a sad day for lovers of 'Sesame Street' everywhere -- Jerry Nelson, the puppeteer who gave Count von Count his voice passed away Thursday of unspecified causes at the age of 78.
Try not to get too depressed that the Beanie Baby guy is a billionaire -- at least he's using his money for good, rather than evil. Ty Warner recently gave a woman who was trying to raise money for a medical procedure $20,000 for giving him directions.
This isn't the first time baseball umpire Jim Joyce has been in the news. Two years ago, a famously blown call that cost Detroit’s Armando Galarraga a perfect game put him in the headlines. This week, however, he's better known as the hero who saved the life of a woman with a heart problem.
When the First Lady says she's serious about healthy food, the First Lady means she is serious about healthy food. Even the First Dog, Bo, is not beyond reproach, and, after packing on a few pounds, is now on a diet. Yes, the dog is on a diet.
Thank the merciful heavens! Now we can say "micropig" as much as we want without having to endure the crushing shame of using a word that isn't a legitimate word. Micropig is just one of dozens of terms that became official as part of ODO's most recent quarterly update of new words and definitions, which includes "soul patch," "hosepipe ban" and "vajazzle." Finally! Our Thursday night dinner conversation is legit!
It's not everyday that you get to see Mitt Romney smacked in the face with a hot dog or President Obama trounced with a balloon sword... Until now. Thanks to a new, free phone game called Vote!!!, you can see it every day. It might seem like they've lost sight of the point of democratic elections by making the two presidential candidates go toe-to-toe, but the folks at Epic Games could actually be on to something.
Tying a bunch of balloons to a house makes a really sweet, heartwarming cartoon movie. Tying a bunch of balloons to a turtle, on the other hand, just makes you a giant jerk. But that didn't stop some horrible person in California from duct-taping a massive bunch of helium-filled balloons to a box turtle and releasing it into the air. Fortunately, the turtle was rescued and an investigation is underway.
Remember Karen Klein, the upstate New York bus monitor who was viciously harassed by her middle school charges in a video that went viral in June? Her story had a happy ending, as an internet fundraising campaign to send the 68-year-old on a "nice vacation" raised over $700,000 from 32,000 people around the world.
That's more than enough money for Klein to retire from the yellow school bus grind. And she plans to. But she is also using a good chunk of the cash -- $100,000 -- to set up the Karen Klein Anti-Bullying Foundation.
