Pretending to call your parents from jail and asking for bail is more than risky. This girl did it anyway to her dad and his response was 15/10. You’d hope that your parents would react like this if you had to make this phone call from Cook County jail. Not only is he understanding, he’s also ready to find bail money. She needs to get him an extra nice gift for Father’s Day now for putting him through that.

Sometimes all you need is a few minutes of sleep when you’re dead tired. But who can do that? You’ve heard your grandpa say he would take a 10 minute power nap, but he didn’t have the noise in his head that we do today. Or did he? There is a way to nap really quick that’s actually used in the military. This Navy Seal breaks it down , take notes, and get some much needed Z’s! You only need 8 min!
In 2019, the national average of life expectancy was about 78.8 years. Not bad. Hawaii had the highest, with 80 years and Mississippi was the lowest at 74.4 years. A lot of the lower rated states are in the south due to economic factors. Illinois falls into the second highest category at 78.4- 79.5. We can live with that!
Michael Scott was not the originator of “That’s What She Said.” In fact, it’s first documented use was with Chevy Chase on SNL in the 1970’s. Then it was used again in the movie Wayne’s World, and made popular again by our favorite TV boss, Michael Scott. He made it so popular you probably can’t get through the week without hearing it once… especially if you’re friends are immature.

China has the most rolls per year as to be expected given their population, 4 billion miles of the stuff each year, whoa!

“It’s hard to understand the appeal of this product,” Cuomo told MTV News. “Obviously it’s a giant hit, but I don’t really understand why. But as soon as we came up with the idea, we were like, ‘Yes! This is it!’ Cultural critics are going to have to go back and figure out what was going on here. It was genius, but at this moment we don’t know why.”
If you’re hoping to snag a Snuggie at the merch table this Tuesday during Ahoy! with Weezer, I wouldn’t bet on it. Perhaps eBay can be your savior? — [eric]
"Not a cold case, just some cold fries": Family finds an old McDonald's bag with two hamburger wrappers and a remarkably well-preserved order of fries in their wall. https://t.co/zayHezXOEF
The Jones family say their home was built in 1959 and a franchise of the popular fast food restaurant opened up around that time. As to how those fries survived the test of time?
“My thoughts are that it was likely the salt that dried out and preserved the fries, not actual preservatives,” said Grace Jones, “Or at least that’s what I’m telling myself.”
A woman was on Tinder recently and matched with a cute guy. Instead of trying to get to know her right away, or even say ‘hello’, he sent her a dating application filled with weird questions.
