Therapy dogs have a tough but vital role: They help people.

Optical illusions can play some really weird tricks on our brains. We think we're looking at one thing and then... sike! It's something else. Honestly, what the heck. But you know the best type of illusions? The photograph kind, because they can be all sorts of awesome, strange and funny...

Almost one year ago we told you about the family of Aaron Collins, who were trying to respect his final wishes by giving a "$500 on a f------ pizza"-type of tip to a waiter or waitress. The Collins family did so, and that one tip has turned into so much more.

A very grateful tip of the hat to the Daily Dot for turning us on to artist James Kerr. Kerr takes works of Italian and Medieval art and animates them into amazing GIFs.

Based on the classic comic-book character, the 1996 film 'The Phantom' starred Billy Zane as a seemingly immortal superhero who used his powers to fight crime. Sounds a lot like most of the superheroes we love these days, but comic-book movies of the '90s were definitely a little (okay, a lot) sillier.

Yesterday was the 97th annual Nathan's Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest, held on the Fourth of July in Coney Island. Joey Chestnut managed to not only win the championship title for the seventh straight year, he also set a new world record by eating 69 hot dogs in just ten minutes.

Roland Emmerich's 2000 film 'The Patriot' starred Mel Gibson as a South Carolina man swept up in the American Revolutionary War in order to protect his family. The hit film also starred the late Heath Ledger in his second high-profile role. With the Fourth of July in mind, we thought it'd be fun to look back at the cast of this film 13 years ago, and see where they're at now.

What separates a villain from a supervillain? It's simple: the scope, ambition and sheer, unbridled lunacy of their evil plans. A villain is practical and smart, and thinks ahead. A supervillain is dramatic and insane, and wants everyone in the world to acknowledge his or her demented genius...
