Germany always been good to us. We mean, who doesn’t love wienerschnitzel or Leo DiCaprio (word has it his mom was a German immigrant)? We rest our case. Except, when we saw that people in Berlin are discriminating against Americans, we got a little confused. See, they’re not hating on just any Americans; they’ve targeted hipsters, which is quite odd, considering the city just hosted the Hipster O

Lots of folks are up from a romantic island getaway filled with sand, sun and fun. Who wouldn’t be? Even so, there are plenty of island destinations that offer up some pretty bizarre and unique experiences, which contrast strongly with a typical island beach holiday.

There's a valuable lesson to be learned from this video -- a bison is an enormous wild animal that will charge if it feels annoyed or threatened.

You know how they say you just can't get out of Texas fast enough? Well, it appears the state agrees, which is why they're building a highway with an 85 miles per hour speed limit. Finally, we stand a chance to get the heck out of that state before succumbing to an intense case of road rage.

Few things are as aggravating as screaming children on cross-country flights, or the ones who remain quiet all the while booting your chair with rhythmic incessancy. A couple with 14 week old twin boys was more than aware of this fact and as a pre-emptive measure when flying cross-country from San Francisco, they handed out plastic bags of candy to fellow passengers to placate them in anticipation

It's not an official record, but if this isn't the world's lowest limbo, we frankly don't want to see what is, because this is mind-boggling enough. If this guy isn't nicknamed Ol' Rubberlegs, then his friends are missing an excellent opportunity.

The open road offers up a lot of possibilities. You’ve got adventure, new and strange destinations, gorgeous scenery, and the opportunity to escape the humdrums of your normal life, plus all of the interesting characters you’ll meet along the way. All you have to do is decide on a route, get into the car and drive.

David and Charles Koch are known for their enormous financial contributions to conservative politicians, so naturally their brother William is known for building an entire Old West town out on his Colorado ranch. Wait. What?

Seriously, if we were on a road trip with Air France, we'd be pretty miffed -- these pretzels are dry, and you said you'd cover the gas! Recently, passengers found themselves being asked by the airline if they had any money to spare, because they were looking a little cash poor and needed fuel to get out of Syria, where there is currently a civil war, and into Beirut, where they were supposed to l

Daniel has something going for him that makes him the envy of any would-be world traveler: Since he has a close relative who works for an airline he can get on any flight with open seats and just pay the departure taxes. So when Daniel set off on a trip around the world this summer he decided to pay this good fortune forward.

Nearly two years after Steven Slater's epic freak-out in which he rode an emergency chute to freedom after an altercation with a passenger, another flight attendant has allegedly gone off the deep end.

The federal government's no-fly list is meant to deter terrorism aboard domestic and international flights. But the system failed massively earlier in the week when a passenger was mistakenly pulled from a JetBlue flight. Oh, and did we mention that the person in question was an 18-month-old toddler? Duh. Way to keep the skies safe, guys.
