‘Gangnam Style’ Has Now Killed a Man
It was really only a matter of time before the force of "nature" that is 'Gangnam Style' took a life. That time has come. A 46-year-old man's heart wasn't quite up to the task of horse shuffle dancing that the song requires, and he had a heart attack at his office's holiday party in Blackburn, Lancashire, England.
Google Makes Year in Review Video for Folks Who Weren’t Paying Attention

Artist’s 3-D Drawings Will Blow Your Mind
If you look closely, the hint that this is not an actual Rubik's cube in this amazing video is right in front of you. Two yellow center squares, good luck solving that! These amazing illustrations are so lifelike you might want to put some tarps down, because your mind will be blown...
Man Flies From Hong Kong to Give Family Thanksgiving Surprise
In this heartwarming video, a man bought a plane ticket from Hong Kong to fly home and surprise his family, who weren't expecting him. Basically unless you did this for Thanksgiving too, you've been outdone. Putting raisins in the pumpkin cake just doesn't seem like that big of a shocker all of the sudden...
Facebook Helps President Obama Pardon Two Turkeys
After a neck and neck online competition, President Obama today granted pardon to two turkeys, Cobbler and Gobbler. Cobbler, who likes eating cranberries and listening to Carly Simon, narrowly beat out Gobbler, the corn-eating turkey who loves bluegrass...
