Emerald Catron — Fri, 24 May 2013 17:08:44 +0000

Let this video be your inspiration/motivation for the day (or perhaps the rest of your life). Scott was born with cerebral palsy. Despite doctors telling his mother when he was a baby that he would be a "vegetable," Scott works out at the gym, and can lift bigger weights than we can.

Yet another reason we are more than happy to just google something — Siri is a real jerk.

Oh, sure it sounds cute when a two-year-old says awful things, but let's be real -- basically anything a two-year-old says is going to be at least a little adorable.

See YouTube Through History

Emerald Catron — Wed, 22 May 2013 17:15:55 +0000

If the internet had existed in caveman times, we would build a time machine (because if the internet existed that long ago, clearly we would have time travel technology by now) and travel back and un-invent it. Sure, we would probably blink out of existence (can’t think about it too much — time continuum stuff [...]

Emerald Catron — Wed, 22 May 2013 16:20:54 +0000

Surely you remember that horrifying episode of ‘Kitchen Nightmares’ that took place at Amy’s Baking Company.

Improv Everywhere Turns Subway Car Into Talk Show

Emerald Catron — Tue, 21 May 2013 20:20:00 +0000
