Mystery Creature Washes Ashore in Wales
Peter Bailey, 27, was taking his dog for her evening walk along the beach in Tenby, Wales, when he came across this unusual sight. He snapped some pictures of it, because he had no idea what it is, and now it has earned the name The Beast of Tenby.
Rude Girl Flips Off Judge, Gets 30 Days in Lockup
Left on her own without legal representation, this girl (who was awaiting arraignment for a first arrest) was in over her head. It probably also didn't help that she didn't get the sobering reality of being physically present in court to knock some sense into her, since this is a video arraignment taking place from jail, where she is nervous and surrounded by other inmates. Oh, and it doesn't help
Man Nearly Gets Hit by Plane in Nerve-Racking Video
You are going to want to turn the sound down for this one. It's a person nearly getting run over by a plane. Obviously they're going to scream. And swear. So, NSFW. Also it's terrifying. Enjoy!
Watch Sandy Hook School Children Perform a Moving Rendition of ‘Over the Rainbow’
It's Tuesday, so you probably need a good cry. Here, watch this video. It's children from Sandy Hook Elementary performing 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' on 'Good Morning America.' The kids recorded the song, with folk musician Ingrid Michaelson, at the home of former Talking Heads members Tina Weymouth and Christ Frantz.
Young Basketball Player Lands Most Amazing Last-Second Shot Ever

Video of Drunk Plane Passenger Restrained With Duct Tape Surfaces
Hey, remember this picture of the drunk guy on a flight from Iceland to New York City who had to be restrained with duct tape and zip ties? Allegedly he started screaming on the flight and tried to choke a fellow passenger after drinking a bottle of duty-free alcohol. The crew had to get a little...inventive to resolve the situation. Their solution certainly restrained him, but didn't do much to s
Virginia Resident Mistakes Labradoodle for Lion, Calls Police
This is Charles the lion dog. He does look pretty lion-y. It must be even more astounding in person, because one Norfolk, Virginia, resident saw him on the street and called the police, saying there was a lion on the loose and it was potentially looking for food.
Remembering Huell Howser, California TV Legend
For those outside the state of California, Huell Howser, who passed away late Sunday night, might be something of a mystery. There's a chance you saw him on 'Tracy Takes On ... Hollywood,' or heard his voice on an episode of 'The Simpsons.' Southern Californians, however, are surely familiar with his self-produced travelogues of the state, which aired on KCET in Los Angeles, in all their incarnati
SodaStream Bringing Banned Commercial to Super Bowl 2013
Getting banned in the UK for "denigrating" bottled drinks won't stop SodaStream from bringing their message to the biggest advertising opportunity in the world -- Super Bowl 2013. The advertisement shows people carbonating water with a SodaStream and making the bottles the beverages are contained in instantly disappear. Apparently other soda manufacturers were upset and the ad was pulled
Dad Gets Surprise Puppy, Reacts Adorably
You might think that children are the only people capable of being delighted to the point of preciousness at the sight of a new puppy, but you would be wrong. Look at this manly dad, for example. He bangs on a car, covers his face with adorable fists, and does a little dance...
