Earlier tonight we told you about Alyssa Milano’s “Handmaid’s Tale” protest that looked more like something out of “Strawberry Shortcake,” but she made an even bigger mistake than the costume. Rule No. 1 on the Internet is to never, ever pose in front of a white board or else photoshop magic happens.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) -- A Virginia Beach woman has been charged with threatening to blow up a 7-Eleven near the Bayside area.

To celebrate reaching 2 billion serfs...ah, users...Facebook has been encouraging people to share videos made with a generator called "Good Adds Up." While I was initially skeptical, I tried the generator, and I have to admit: With just a slight bit of tweaking, the video did indeed capture the real me.

RANDOLPH, Mass. (AP) — A bizarre scene of a group of wild turkeys walking in a circle around a dead cat was caught on video by a Massachusetts man who perhaps best described it: an attempt to give the feline its 10th life. Jonathan Davis came across the fowl play in the Boston suburb of Randolph Thursday. He posted a video on Twitter that he says was viewed a half million times by the late afternoon. The recording shows what appears to be 17 turkeys circling the cat.

Glawe said the Ball Python snake, named Bart, was too big to fit all the way through her lobe, and she was unable to extract it on her own. Glawe further explained that she wears gages in her earlobes but had taken them out. ... A friend informed concerned commenters that doctors at Portland Adventist Hospital made a slight cut in Glawe’s ear and used Vaseline while further stretching the lobe with a plastic tool so that the snake could wiggle out. Glawe told another commenter that her ear was numbed before the procedure and that the experience hurt “a...

The beautiful thing about the internet is that there's always that weird corner somewhere where all the gems live. You can find actual treasure when you least expect it. This video is a gold mine from the weird corner of the internet. In it, Spanish disco dance troupe Ballet Zoom shimmies and dances and exercises (if you can call it that) like cats with cats. The absurd video from the 1970s surfaced this week, and I personally cannot get enough. Check it out to see what I mean — I think you'll be glad you did.

A man in India spent two months swallowing knives and had 40 of them surgically removed from his stomach, according to the doctor who led the operation. "He had a wild urge to consume metal. Even for us, the experienced surgeons, it was frightening," Dr. Jatinder Malhotra told CNN. "We were so nervous... a small mistake could have taken the patient's life. In my 20 years of practice, I have never seen anything like it." Malhotra said it took his team about two days to form a diagnosis and surgery plan. ... Malhotra said they found foldable knives, which when...

While there is no doubt that Harvey Milk died in the service of his country, his contribution to American history pales in comparison to the Silverback magnificence that was Harambe. Harambe who gave his life in a volley of friendly fire. Harambe. It also offers a strategic advantage: the name Harambe — even whispered — will demand respect, obeisance, and awe. A USS Harambe will strike fear in the hearts of our enemies in a way that the name "Milk” never could. USS Harambe will remind the world that America never forgets its heroes. USS Harambe, this who we are.

A naked collegian apparently high on PCP jumped into the hopper of a garbage truck and fought with cops trying to extract him, according to a police report. Benjamin Abele, a 22-year-old University of Georgia senior, was arrested last Sunday morning after police had to tase him twice during a scuffle. When Abele was finally detained, he was drenched in a slippery, malodorous liquid that had pooled inside the truck’s hopper. As detailed in an Athens-Clarke County Police Department report, an officer spotted Abele running naked on a downtown Athens street around 2:30 AM. The student then dove into the...

A month after slithering into the ceiling of Washington’s Tacoma General Hospital, a white ball python is back with its owner. Sources say a visitor brought the snake to the hospital in a cat carrier full of stuffed animals. After the owner went home, he realized his python had escaped and notified the hospital, according to KCPQ.

The snake was found, “when it came out of the ceiling ventilation on April 30,” said Marce Edwards with MultiCare Health System. Edwards confirmed that...
