A bizarre video has emerged of two women twerking over a coffin as reggaeton music blasts out during a funeral. Mourners in the clip appear to all be on board with the seductive send-off, as one lifts a dancer's skirt to make sure her underwear is on display while another throws a cup of ice over her. Others can be seen slapping the girls on their backsides as they dance provocatively and a bucket of water is thrown over the pair, in the footage which is believed to have been filmed in South America.

On March 14, or 3/14, mathematicians and other obscure-holiday aficionados celebrate Pi Day, honoring π, the Greek symbol representing an irrational number that begins with 3.14. Pi, as schoolteachers everywhere repeat, represents the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter.

Standard Innovation Corp., the company behind the "We-Vibe" smart vibrator, has agreed to pay up to $10,000 to customers who used a smartphone app that allowed one partner to remotely control settings like vibration intensity... ...her vibrator was tracking information, including temperature and vibration level, and sending it back to the company's servers in Canada

No one had heard from Chandrayaan-1 since Aug. 29, 2009. That's when the pioneering moon orbiter — the first lunar probe ever launched by the Indian Space Research Organization — abruptly went silent just 312 days into what was supposed to be a two-year mission. The orbiter has been missing ever since. It's no bigger than a refrigerator and difficult for Earth-based telescopes to discern given the moon's nighttime glow, making the craft hard to track down. Plus, the moon's lopsided topography — riddled with mascons, or areas of dense material with higher-than-average gravitational pull — makes satellites' orbits incredibly...

Orangutans are dressed up and made to box each other to entertain visitors at a Thai zoo leading to animal rights activists demanding it is shut down A zoo in Thailand is profiting from 'orangutan boxing' where apes appear to fight for the amusement of locals and tourists. The supposed good-natured show - which takes place at Safari World in Bangkok - has been criticised by animal rights activists who say it should be shut down. One tourist who saw the display condemned the zoo for exploiting the incredibly intelligent primates.

My girlfriend, ex-wife, and younger daughter and I were playing cards this afternoon. We were playing double-deck contract pinochle. My daughter shuffled and my ex-wife cut the cards and dealt the first hand. My girlfriend bid and won the contract for the first hand. This is that hand she got, a once in a lifetime pinochle hand: Meld scoring in this game was handed down from both sets of double grandparents on my side and my ex-wife's side from the two different parts of the mid-west. It does not comport with the Las Vegas meld rules but I have seen...

While Mark Cuban said he sees some value in President Donald Trump's economic policies, he's not a fan of his social stances — or the president personally. "The economic policies of his that are pretty much traditionally conservative I like.... But in terms of him personally, he's the Zoolander president," Cuban said to a South by Southwest Festival audience in Austin, Texas on Sunday. Cuban spoke on a panel alongside car insurance marketplace The Zebra's Adam Lyons. Lyons scored Cuban as an investor in his company after cold emailing him a one paragraph pitch. Cuban, who called himself a libertarian,...

Both the Euro and GFS are showing stonger storms in closer to the coast, so this could well become reality.

Frightened immigrants are creeping into Canada through a quiet border town in northeast New York to escape Donald Trump. The families are fleeing through the town of Champlain which shares a border with Quebec. They make their crossing on Roxham Road which leads them directly towards the village of Hemmingford and in to the path of Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers who take them to immigration offices where they can apply for asylum. Since Donald Trump tried to implement a controversial travel ban stopping citizens from Muslim majority countries from entering the US, foot traffic on the road has increased....

The Washington Post reported a story on Saturday investigating counselor to the president Steve Bannon's legal residence, since no one really knows where he lives. But in the course of that investigation, they uncovered something that is even more disturbing: a hot tub at a house where Bannon claimed to live looked like it was filled with acid. The Post started looking into Bannon because while he claimed residency in Florida, he was spending most of his time in Washington, D.C., but his address was listed as his business manager's office in California. In fact, prosecutors in Miami have opened...

Comedian and left-wing activist Chelsea Handler took to Twitter Saturday and posted a vulgar message questioning the sex lives of Senator Ted Cruz, Senator Mitch McConell, and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan. “I can’t believe @tedcruz wife still fucks him,” Handler’s wrote. “Is anyone f*****g @SpeakerRyan ? Oh, right. @MitchMcConell takes care of that.” Handler has never been below attacking the wives of her political opponents, Cruz’s wife notwithstanding. In a January interview with Variety at the Sundance Film Festival, Handler said she’d never invite Melania Trump on her Netflix talk show because the first lady “can barely speak...

I’m dead. PRESIDENT OBAMA is at lunch w...

Mary Clancey thought she was overweight because of her penchant for French fries and other starchy foods. Her family doctor teased her about too much snacking at the Pottsville Boscov's fudge counter where she worked. Both were wrong. Inside the once-spritely grandmother was a cancerous tumor the size of, well, a whole other person — 140 pounds.

Everything that is good is more expensive than everything that is not so good, but usually good enough. If you can learn to live with good enough, you can save a lot of money and eventually buy the stuff that is very good. It is freezing cold here in the Northeast. Whatever happened to that much-ballyhooed "global warming" we have been hearing so much about from the leftist loonies? Last weekend was pretty cold too. I'm talking near zero at night and barely 20 during the day. Now there is talk of a "mega-blizzard" for Tuesday and everybody is at...

What is Johnny Depp really afraid of? Is he really under attack from El Chupacabra, a reptilian monster who sucks the blood from goats? That is what he told reporters in Tokyo recently. Why is Depp building a fortress from five Hollywood Hills mansions in a cul-de-sac in Hollywood Hills? Is Johnny Depp losing his grip on reality in the wake of his messy divorce from Amber Heard? Is he really spending money irresponsibly? Perhaps there is a more rational explanation. As negative reports roll in about Johnny Depp’s extravagant spending, odd purchases, and strange behavior, one has to wonder...

The burglars stole more than 100,000 pallets of Anastasia Beverly Hills’ Modern Renaissance eye shadow, which is worth $4.5 million.

Two high school students posed the question "what would happen if you wring out a wet waschcloth in space" and an astronaut aboard the International Space Station conducted the experiment which resulted in a rather beautiful moment in space. The experiment, called "Wring It Out" was designed by two 10th-graders in Nova Scotia. Kendra Lamke and Meredith Hatfield won a contest sponsored by the Canada Space Agency to come up with an experiment for an astronaut to perform in micro-gravity. According to the two students, they hypothesized that water from a wrung-out washcloth would not drip off but rather would...

Malia Obama has a secret (or not-so-secret) admirer! The 18-year-old daughter of former president Barack Obama has a new suitor in Swae Lee of the band Rae Sremmurd (who have made the Mannequin Challenge song “Black Beatles” famous). When recently questioned at LAX Airport about which artists he would like to collaborate with, Swae told TMZ, “I want to write for Adele. I want to do some crazy s–t I never did before, you know?” “Hell yeah,” he went on. “Malia Obama get at me. I know you’re on vacation.” Swae said he would take Malia to the Bahamas on...

They’re not gonna take it! Both Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb are taking off from their TODAY show post this month, and neither have plans to return, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned. While Kotb, 52, is on maternity leave following the surprise adoption of infant daughter Haley Joy, Gifford, 63, is celebrating her 26-year-old son Cody’s graduation from his master’s program in the United Kingdom for two weeks.
