Polar Bears May Become An Exhibit Of The Past At The Buffalo Zoo

Centipede Finds Its Way Into Brett’s House [VIDEO]

Doors stay open longer this time of year.  If you have kids, then you know that this is true.  But it's not always their fault.  I mean, when I'm grilling and I'm in and out of the house, I tend to leave doors open too.  But I'm thinking I'll be more careful now that I found what comes in when you leave doors open.

Looking for something to keep you busy for a little while.  Try this one out with your kids.  It's pretty simple to do.  Press play and then stare at the dot.  It doesn't get easier than this.  But it's pretty cool to see.

Ok...the title needs work but yesterday as I was leaving Walmart, I did something that would make some people feel uncomfortable. I don't even know why I did it. While I was doing it, I kept asking myself why I was doing it. But when I was done, I was glad that I did.

Incredible Catch In Ultimate Frisbee [VIDEO]

Ok, first of all, I had no idea that there were actually Ultimate Frisbee teams.  I thought it was just a game where a bunch of guys get together and start tossing around a frisbee.  It turns out that I was wrong.  Not only are there teams, but they have highlight reels.  This play has to be included on that reel.
