  • An Alaska brown bear has a new shiny smile after getting a huge metal crown for a canine tooth - “Bear Dentist” isn’t a career path I was aware of

  • Woman distracted by Taco Bell rear ends patrol cruiser going around 60 mph: deputies - What could possibly be that interesting at a Taco Bell?

  • Wild orcas have been trying to feed people, new research shows - Well that’s downright neighborly of them

  • 1,000-year-old Sword Decorated with Spiritual Symbols Found in Dutch River Goes on Display - That makes the person who found it the King of the Netherlands, doesn’t it?

  • Goodbye Blue Screen of Death, Hello Black Screen of Death - I’m not sure that’s really improvement

  • Spider monkey captured in office building break room - It was lured in by the birthday cupcakes Lauren brought in
