The US National Debt & Budget Made Easy [Humor]

100 Years Of Significant Events In 10 Minutes [Video]
We are rapidly wrapping up the year, and magazines, websites and columns are trying to fit all the significant events into some kind of order.

Work Alongside Nature: An Inspiring Office Building In The Woods
If you are like me, you spend the majority of your day and night in front of your computer. It's very common for me to sit down at my computer when it's dark outside, and not stop working until it's dark outside again. Then I take a quick bike ride or walk, and before I know it, I'm sitting in my be ...
Elephants Play Soccer & Enter Beauty Pageant In Nepal
Whenever I hear about a festival that celebrates animals, it always pulls at my heartstrings. I love when people find new ways to interact and include animals into our lives. This particular way might be a little odd, but after reading about how well cared for these elephants are, I give it a high-f ...
Avoid Those Awkward Moments: Dinner Conversation Starters
I'm always fascinated when I hear about families who still have dinner at a dinner table each night. That seems so foreign to me since I haven't done that in years. As a matter of fact, a few weeks ago I was reading some information about what people look for most in a house. It said that in most ne ...
Re-Wine Classic: Stack Your Wine In Lego Style
I don't claim to be much of a wine drinker, but I do appreciate the taste every now and then. There are people out there who are far more knowledgeable than me in this area, and quite frankly, that's not such a hard feat. However, I don't hear a lot of people mention storing wine when they talk abou ...

The only way he would be able to keep his store was if ...
Droid To The World: A Creative Robot Nativity Scene
If you celebrate Christmas, you might have a nativity scene displayed in your home. Some of the churches here in Atlanta used to put nativity scenes outside, but last year someone stole all the baby Jesus' from around town, so now they don't do that much anymore. I still giggle when I think about th ...

Learn About Yoga From 10 Gingerbread Cookies
It occurred to me today that even though I've written about Toilet Yoga, Star Wars Yoga and Yoga For Dogs, I don't know much about yoga. I've tried it before, and it's much harder than it looks. I'd rather hit my bike for exercise than twist my body up like a pretzel. However, I may be changing my m ...

How To: Celebrate Festivus With The Rest Of Us [Infographic]
Seinfeld is such a classic, and I think I have seen every single episode at least ten times, if not more. I didn't become a Seinfeld fan until after the series ended, and it started airing in reruns. If you are a big Seinfeld fan too, you know that if someone says even one Seinfeld word, you instant ...

10 Of Life’s Simple Truths Illustrated With Words On Pictures
Words on pictures are always fun. Looking at them is completely brainless, well, sort of. I had to look at the 3rd picture on this list about ten times to find out what the mistake was. Maybe these require a little more brainpower than I thought.
The weird thing is, most of these are true. Every ...

How Social Media Is Ruining Our Minds [Infographic]
Before I get into the specifics about this information, I want to ask you a question. Do you ever feel your brain hurt or strain when you are working during the day while keeping up with your social media sites at the same time?
