Boy’s wrapped birthday gift is dad back from Iraq
DAYTON, Nev. – Gabriel Hurles’ sixth birthday party wasn’t a surprise, but his present sure was. The kindergartner was so engrossed in the cupcakes his mother brought to his class on Wednesday that he didn’t notice the enormous wrapped box off to the side.
“That’s one big, giant present,” a 6-year-old classmate told him. “See...

Scientists have just identified a 5mm-long jellyfish they call Turritopsis Nutricula, originally from the Caribbean but soon to be everywhere, which has the ability to “return to a juvenile state” after multiplying. According to the Smithsonian Tropical Marine Institute, this is the only known animal which is capable of quite literally reverting to its younger...

This world has so many hidden wonders; sometimes you just have to see things in a different way. Take a walk that you’ve taken a dozen times before, but this time notice everything. Notice the trash sitting on the curbside. Notice the...

Things that make me swoon
breannajai:
Boys that know how to dress well
Boys that are musically inclined
Boys that can make me laugh
Boys with pretty eyes
Boys that read books
Boys that wear glasses
Boys with pretty hair
Boys that are passionate about something
Boys with accents
Boys that actually understand the concept of sarcasm

There are times in all of our lives when living seems like too much to handle. The noises are too loud and the colors are too murky. But this life is all that we have, and it is truly dying one second at a time. No one will live forever, and that alone makes us equal. Nothing is guaranteed, except the breath which you are taking now. If you have things you want...

Our 44th President takes the oath of office. There was a trivial, momentary slip when Chief Justice John Roberts asked Obama to recite the first line of the oath in the incorrect order. Roberts said “execute the office of President of the United States faithfully,” rather than “faithfully...
