This cat was showing off his flexibility at home, but had a little slip up during his bar routine.
While this cat was in the middle of its gymnastics routine, he got stuck on the bar. Instead of dispatching himself off the bar, just like a gymnast dismounts in their routine, he had a small fumble and became stuck in the air.
It was absolutely hysterical to watch. He just hung in the air swinging, and his owners were hysterical laughing.
This dog doesn’t care if he looks silly, he just loves to play patty cake!
The dog’s owner has trained him to play the game, and he is loving every minute of it. His favorite part about the game might be when he gets a yummy treat when the song finishes.
The dog plays through the whole song, and doesn’t get tired or stop. He keeps going actually, as his owner plays the game with him many times.
This video is so cute to watch, and now we wish all our dogs would play patty cake.
Some of the best moments in college are shared with your roommates. They are the people you come home to every night, who witness every up and down, and who encourage you to skip the books and make memories instead.
These ten conversations may have been had in various level of sobriety, but are ones you’ve come to be very familiar with.
10. “Do you have my jacket?”
The not so sly way of saying “I’d like my jacket back.”
9. “Wanna go to the gym?”
The roommates who workout together stay together, right? When one roommate starts working out or eating healthy everyone starts being healthy. It may only last for one day, but for that one day the apartment was the pinnacle of health.
8. “Did you eat my chips?”
This is another one of those not so discreet ways of saying I know you ate my chips, I’d just like the validation. Chips don’t just eat themselves after all.
7. “Do you have any tampons?”
Or pads, or whatever else you use for that time of the month. When the panic sets in after realizing you’ve used your last tampon, it’s always comforting to know that when you live with other girls, it’s almost guaranteed that someone will have extra.
6. “We’re out of toilet paper again.”
We all knew it was coming, but did nothing about it. Yet again. And we all ignore the issue until one of us finally brings it up in the roommate group chat.
5. “How does this top look?”
Even if you’ve worn the top a thousand times already, you still wonder how it looks on that particular night and need your roommates approval.
4. “So where did you end up last night?”
If you and your roommates managed to never ask this questions than you deserve a round of applause. For most, this question will come up at least once after a night out. No matter how hard you all try to stay together, people start disappearing one by one like a horror movie.
3. “I don’t have any clothes. Want to go shopping?”
You have no more hangers in your closet or room in your dresser drawers, yet can’t find anything to wear. Thankfully your roommate is having the same dilemma, and is always up for some shopping.
2. “I have no money.”
Budgeting has never been a strong suit, and the aforementioned shopping might not be helping. But that doesn’t stop you from complaining about your desolate bank account.
1. “So what are you doing after school?”
The question we all dread, but can’t help but ask. You have no idea what your plans are after school besides moving back in with your parents, and are just hoping that someone else is in the same boat as you.

Weddings are notoriously expensive affairs, however you don’t need to be a bridezilla to rack up a big wedding bill.
According to the wedding website The Knot, the price of weddings in 2014 were at an all time high. The site surveyed about 16,000 brides, and it turns out the average American wedding, not including the honeymoon, costs about $31,000.
However, The knot points out that weddings cost more in urban areas, and some (very lucky) brides and grooms have weddings thrown for them that cost upwards of $40,000. Both of these instances bring up the average cost.
Check out the most expensive states to get married in:

And here’s the breakdown of how that money is spent, for those of you who are curious:

If you live in South Dakota, Wyoming, or South Carolina, it turns out you’re among the top three states that reported having the happiest relationships according to the 2014 Hallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, which was published this year.
The index reports using a variety of elements to asses well-being including a social aspect, which was described as “having supportive relationships and love in your life.”

Tritan, the male all-white lion is the best soccer player around.
Other lions take note- Tritan was raised at Johannesburg Zoo by his keeper 11 years ago, where he learned to play soccer.
The curator who now watches Tritan at the zoo says that he really enjoys the sport, and although you hardly see the lions doing anything, once you throw a ball into Tritans enclosure, he goes crazy chasing the ball around.
He’s the best lion soccer player they’ve seen so far, and believe me, they haven’t seen many.
Other lions can learn a thing or two from this star player. Watch the amazing Tritan playing soccer below:
Watching this man swim with his 800 pound polar bear will amaze you.
This man named Mark Dumas is an animal trainer that has been working with Agee the polar bear since she was a cub. Agee grew up in Dumas’ household, where she was bottle-fed and even played with the family’s pets!
In this video shown below, Dumas hugs and kisses the bear as if he’s an oversized toy, and they even wrestle on land.
Dumas points out that over 40 years of experience working with bears has taught him how to interact with Agee and read her body language, but she is still a dangerous animal, and should never be kept as a pet.
Dumas says anyone else would be dinner for Agee- she only calms for Dumas and his wife.
These safari animals get a little too up close and personal with people and their cars!
A leisurely day at the safari drive-thru is not so leisurely.
These visitors soon realize that the safari animals are really hungry, and want to get into their cars. They either stick their heads in the window of the car, the roof of the car, or break the window if it’s not open!
In this hysterical video you will see: a bear break a mans window, two monkeys having sex on a car, a giraffe with an extra long creepy tongue, and an animal salivating over a little girls piece of bread that she is not willing to give up.
Wait until you see the last bear- you will be on the edge of your seat wondering if he’s going to rip off the side mirror on one woman’s car.
The faces on these people are hysterical, they are scared out of their minds, and their screeches go through the roof just like the animals:
Game of Thrones is arguably the most successful HBO show of all time. People from all walks of life love the show–probably because of the gruesome deaths, the complicated plot, and the nearly-constant nudity.
But despite the fact that more than 14 million people tune in to every episode live, not to mention those who DVR, buy the DVDs or stream illegally, there are a bunch of things about the beloved show that people don’t know. We’ve rounded up a list of the craziest, funniest, and most random facts from behind the scenes to hold you over until next Sunday night.
1. Gwendoline Christie (Brenne of Tarth) does not know her birthday.
2. Rose Leslie, who plays Ygrette, grew up in an actual castle in Scotland.
3. Jerome Flynn, otherwise known as Bronn, was in a 90’s doo-wop group called Robson and Jerome. They had three #1 singles in the UK. Including this one:
4. You might know that the Dothraki language was created just for the show, but there are some fun easter eggs in the language, like the word for “eagle” being kolver–after Stephen Colbert.
6. There is a severed head of George Bush in the background of one scene.
7. Bet you didn’t notice this: there have actually been 13 different intros to the show, because the locations in each episode keep changing.
8. The average episode costs $6 million dollars to make. If that sounds like a lot, each episode of Boardwalk Empire and True Blood each cost $5 million, while each episode of Friends cost $10 million in it’s final season.
9. The show is filmed over six countries: the United States, Croatia, Morocco, Malta, Iceland and Northern Ireland.
10. Allegedly, Gandalf’s sword can be found in the center of the Iron Throne. So is the sword of Robin Hood. Who knew the Iron Throne could be any cooler?

11. There is a rare species of sea-slug named after the Mother of Dragons: Tritonia khaleesi.
12. Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, who plays The Mountain, is the third strongest man in the world. And because of his crazy strength, the show’s most gruesome death (RIP Oberyn) would actually be possible.
13. The CGI effects for the three dragons was based on movements of geese and bats.
14. There was almost a Game of Thrones movie instead. But the author, George R. R. Martin, thought that a movie couldn’t do the story justice, and would only sign on with HBO.
15. Martin tries not to let the show affect the books (since they are still being written). The one exception: Osha, played by Natalia Tena, who was originally intended as a “throw-off” character, but after seeing the show, Martin decided she had more depth.
16. The idea of killing off so many of the stories heroes comes from a comic book character: Wonder Man, who was killed tragically in his first appearance in the “Avengers” comics.
17. George R. R. Martin has revealed his story’s ending to the producers of the show, just in case he never gets to finish the books. Which is both amazing and incredibly disappointing. Finish the books, Martin!

It’s the eternal struggle for wine drinkers: Do you choose the expensive wine that tastes great, or the cheaper wine you can afford, but tastes much worse?
It’s a choice that all wine-lovers have faced while standing in the liquor store aisle. But now there’s a way to have both great taste and a great price, and it’s all up to the marketers.
It may be confusing until you hear about the latest study, which proves that we think wine tastes better when we think it’s expensive. The study, published in the Journal of Marketing Research, explains that often, it isn’t the actual taste of the wine that we detest. It’s another story of the placebo effect, and it proves that we like things more when we think they are expensive, whether they are or not. Author of the study, Hillke Plassmann of INSTEAD, wrote,
Studies have shown that people enjoy identical products such as wine or chocolate more if they have a higher price tag. However, almost no research has examined the neutral and psychological processes required for such marketing placebo effects to occur.
For the study, a group of people were given five glasses of wine at five different price tags–or so they thought (there were really only three types of wine and two different prices). After tasting the wines at $5, $10, $35, $45, and $90, the MRI brain scans of the participants showed that “price prejudices” definitely made a difference in how people viewed each glass.

But the study doesn’t only apply to wine. A second test was done using milkshakes, and was used to test “taste” variables in addition to price. When milkshakes were labeled “organic” versus “regular,” and “regular” versus “light,” the results were the same. “Taste prejudices”–i.e. the fact that we assume organic things taste better, or that light products have less taste–make a difference in how we like the actual taste of a product. We gravitate towards what we assume will be better, and that thing usually has organic labels or a higher price.
The prejudice is hard to avoid, but it actually affected some people more than others. Certain personality differences left some participants more susceptible to the taste and price prejudice. For instance, those who tend to “seek rewards in life”, or had “little self-awareness” were more likely to fall prey to the price tag.
So what does this all mean? If we are tricked into thinking something is more expensive, or better for us, then our brains will believe it is better. Marketing plays a huge role in this, and is why advertising and labels are so important. And it also leaves companies with a lot of responsibility; they may even be able to make foods that people generally don’t like, say, vegetables, taste better to an unsuspecting audience.
Next time you’re at a party, if you want to impress the guests on a budget, make sure to buy the cheap bottles with the classiest labels. And, if you want to enjoy your cheap bottle of wine, you should consider sending a friend to buy one for you (and never asking them what the price was).
This video of dogs and cats meeting babies for the first time is so precious it has to be watched.
As you will see soon, the pets approach the babies so slowly, and with great caution.
It is said that most dogs and cats don’t really have a concept of gestation or pregnancy in humans, however they do sense that something is different, so they respond to it.
In this video, when the dogs and cats are first introduced to the babies, they stiff them and begin to lick their entire face extremely gently. They treat the baby like the precious being that they are, and it’s beautiful to watch.
While people may be scared to introduce their dog or cat to their newborn baby, this video will show you that you have nothing to be afraid of.
We’d love to hear your experience with introducing your newborn to your pet. Please share in the comments below.
It’s been a favorite pastime of every girl group of besties to assign themselves to each character of the most famous TV shows. Which girl in your group is the Samantha or the Carrie? Who is the Monica and who is the Rachel?
Watching girlfriends on TV shows often shape your #squadgoals and bring you closer together. And in 2015, there’s no better group of girls than ones on Girls, the HBO show staring Lena Dunham, Allison Williams, Zosia Mamet and Jemima Kirke.
While Hannah, Marnie, Shoshanna, and Jessa all have their serious quirks and issues, they each have redeeming qualities that make you love them. But what does your favorite “girl” say about you?
HANNAH

You are the awkward girl in your group. You might be a hipster, a writer, or someone who’s just very clumsy. You are definitely clumsy, and have no filter when you speak. But your friends always come to you for advice because you’re the most honest person they know. You tend to be very impulsive, especially when something bad happens in your life. You have a lot of baggage, but instead of letting it define you, you let it inspire you. But despite all your issues, you’re the definitive glue of your group.
MARNIE

You’re the “chill girl,” in the sense that you work really hard to make other people think you’re cool and collected. You’ve been called “basic” at least once, because you tend to follow the crowd in terms of things that are popular. You put up a wall all the time, even when you’re breaking down inside. Because of this, it’s hard for you to make friends, but once you do, you’ll stay with them for life. You can be a little self-centered, but that’s because you’re so worried about being hurt. But you are the one that will always be chasing her dreams, whether other people think it’s a good idea or not.

You’re the baby of the group, but that doesn’t make you an idiot. You just insist on seeing the best in everyone. It might make you a little naive, but you refuse to let anything get you down. You can spin any bad situation into a good day, although you can often get in over your head in your attempt to seem more grown-up. You may not wear a lot of pink, but you want to. You’re a little anxious, but you try to seem comfortable by talking a lot. You hate awkward silences more than anything. You can be a bit overwhelming to strangers, but you have a heart of gold, and once people get to know you, they love you.

There’s a picture of you in the dictionary next to the phrase “free spirit.” You’re the girl who always has a tale to share about her crazy travels and experiences with strange men. You may never win “never have I ever,” but that’s because you’ve been lucky enough to experience everything. You are indecisive, but passionate about whatever thing is holding your attention at the moment. Your restless nature makes it hard for you to stay in one place, and harder to keep a relationship strong. That means you are very particular about your friends, because you don’t let any baggage hold you down. You only keep in touch with people who really mean something to you.
Abandoned places always have a way of unsettling us. From amusement parks to underwater cities, the places on our list are sure to leave you feeling creeped out, at least a little.

We found out that cats giving massages is actually called kneading, which is a generic behavior for them-they will do it when they are happy, and will do it on anything soft, including people.
This kneading is a pleasant motion for cats, and it’s more like them giving themselves a massage than the thing they’re kneading on, which in this case is dogs.
The dogs don’t seem to mind it however, in fact they appear to be really enjoying themselves. One cat even gets really into it, and climbs on top of the dog, putting her whole body into it.

Rumors are flying about Apple’s newest product: a self-driving, electric car to compete with Tesla. But are the rumors true? Some sources say “yes.”
Right on the tail of the Apple watch selling out in preorders, fans of the technology company are excited about the newest possible venture: a self-driving car. Back in February, an auto-industry source revealed that Apple was interested in branching out to creating an entire vehicle. Although they already make products such as CarPlay, which places iPhone functions like Siri into the screen of a car, but now they hope to help evolve the auto industry to include automated driving.
The source tells Reuters, “Fully automated driving is an evolution. Carmakers will slowly build the market for autonomous cars by first releasing connected and partially automated cars…Apple is interested in all the potential ways you can evolve the car; that includes autonomous driving.” But Apple spokespeople have declined to comment, calling the statements “rumors [and] speculations.”
Sources told the Wall Street Journal that Apple is already beginning to work on their newest product, setting up a secret lab late last year, and that they have met with manufactures such as Magna Steyr, a Canadian auto supplier that has clients such as BMW and Mercedes.

It also seems feasible, based on the fact that the star designer recently hired by the company, Mark Newson, has experience creating cars in the past, being the designer behind the Ford 021C concept car that was shown back in 1999.
So can we add an iCar to our growing collection of Apple products? Probably not any time soon. Professor at Ross School of Business, University of Michigan told Fox News,
Apple has had trouble with the contract manufacturing of its phones. How is it going to get cars manufactured? Will its software for connected and autonomous vehicles give us cars that drive into each other until Apple sends out a patch fixing the bugs?
He makes a great point, seeing as the technology and software behind a self-driving car is obviously more complicated than that of your iPhone 6.
Self-driving cars aren’t predicated to appear on the scene until around 2025 or 2030, analysts at Exane BNP Paribas tell Reuters. But with the technology that Apple has behind this project, it’s entirely possible that their version will be the first.
