Watch a woman older than women's suffrage in the U.S. pledge Arizona's delegates to Hillary.

Jerry Emmett is the 102-year-old honorary chairwoman for Arizona's state delegation, and she cast 51 of Arizona's electoral votes for Hillary on Tuesday evening. Emmet was born in 1914, and is therefore older than a woman's right to vote in the United States. She cast the votes with a booming enthusiasm and joy that sounded nothing like you'd expect from a woman who's lived longer than a century.

Emmet toldThe Arizona Republicthat she remembers the first time her mother was able to vote in an election:

All the little old ladies, with their gloves and everything, were so excited. Most of the men were, too – a lot of the women would tell their husbands how to vote. This way was just … right.

She said also told The Republic that while she could die happy seeing Hillary clinch the nomination, she has "a dress ready to wear to the inauguration."

We regret to inform you that the tree from 'The Shawshank Redemption' has died.

Diehard Shawshank Redemptionfans, it's time to mourn: your movie's iconic oak tree cracked and fell in the midst of high winds in Lucas, Ohio last week.

Owners of the private property on which the tree once resided, it's time to rejoice: tourists will no longer invade your privacy to pay homage to a tree.

At the close of The Shawshank Redemption, Morgan Freeman's character lets his legs sprawl under the now-dead oak and reads his friend's iconic letter: "Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies."

Except the tree.

The oak had become a rallying place for fanatics of the film, thousands of whom visited its location on an Ohio farm each year and snapped photos from the road. Owners of the private property did not let tourists get any closer.

Now they're finally free.

Larry Sanders, a Green Party politician in the United Kingdom, returned to the United States to take part in the DNC's traditional roll call to officially cast his vote for his brother, Bernie. In a sweet, tearful speech, Larry tells the crowd that their parents would be very proud of "Bernard" (aw) and all of his accomplishments. Turns out Bernie's bro is a total Bernie Bro.

Doesn't that just warm the icy cockles of your heart that have frozen over as a result of bitterness from this horrifying election cycle? Well if you thought Larry Sanders giving Bernie Sanders his vote was adorable, check out Bernie Sanders reacting to Larry Sanders giving him his vote.

What a nice moment in a generally very poopy election cycle.

5. Lady Gaga, because China is mad she was hanging out with the Dalai Lama.

On Sunday, Tibetan spiritual leader Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, met with American spiritual leader Lady Gaga in the holy city of Indianapolis, Indiana to discuss kindness. Their conversation, which was broadcast live on Facebook, was very popular and received a lot of positive press. But there's one group of fans who didn't like it: the Chinese government.

China's ruling Communist Party has feuded with the Dalai Lama for years, because of his whole "autonomy for Tibet" thing. China owns Tibet, and has been hoping the region (formerly nation) would grow out of its Buddhist phase for decades. But the Dalai Lama, who has been exiled from Tibet since 1959, makes that very difficult for them, especially when he's constantly jet-setting around the world talking about peace and kindness.

"Kindness is a free currency from a well that will never dry up" - Lady Gaga on why every city can afford kindness. Go...

Posted by Lady Gaga on Sunday, June 26, 2016

To make things even more complicated, Lady Gaga is extremely popular in China. This whole situation is the Party's worst PR nightmare come true. Some Chinese citizens who shared Gaga's Instagram post of the event have been censored by the government, and now, many people are wondering if Gaga will be banned from performing in China. If that seems far-fetched, remember that that's reportedly what happened to Selena Gomez and Bon Jovi after they posed with the Dalai Lama.

The Dalai Lama: good for Tibet, bad for musicians' touring schedules.


4. George W. Bush, because Kanye got a weakling to play him in his video.

Yeezy won't let anyone be more muscular than him in his videos.

If you haven't seen Kanye West's music video for his new track "Famous" yet, get ready to be creeped out. The video features Kanye and his wife Kim Kardashian lying naked together in an enormous bed (probably no bigger than their real bed) along with a number of naked lookalikes of various public figures they've interacted with in the past.

The roster is a real "who's who" of naked celebrities, including Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Amber Rose, Ray J, Donald Trump, and even Bill Cosby. (This would be the world's most uncomfortable orgy.) Former President George W. Bush was also there, the man who put Kanye on the map by allegedly not caring about black people.

He may not care about black people, but apparently he sleeps naked with Kanye.

A rep for President Bush was asked for comment by TMZ, and had this to say:

In case there was any doubt ... that is not President Bush … He [W] is in much better shape.

Nice quip, rep! So any other musicians who want to imply they had sex with President Bush in a music video: make sure you get a ripped guy to play him.


3. Justin Timberlake, because he got blasted for racial insensitivity on Twitter.

He's bringing privileged back.

Grey's Anatomy star Jesse Williams accepted the Humanitarian Award at the BET Awards on Sunday with a fiery speech about the oppression of African-Americans and the appropriation of black culture. It immediately ignited a lot of support and controversy—even a short excerpt will demonstrate why:

This invention called whiteness uses and abuses us. Burying black people out of sight and out of mind while extracting our culture, our dollars, our entertainment like oil — black gold, ghettoizing and demeaning our creations, then stealing them, gentrifying our genius and then trying us on like costumes before discarding our bodies like rinds of strange fruit.

Meanwhile, Justin Timberlake was watching the show at home. He thought he would tweet a simple message of support for Williams, not realizing all the baggage that would come with that:

Immediately, the Twitterverse pounced on him. People accused him of being a hypocrite, of appropriating black culture for his own gain while not using his fame to bring awareness to the problems affecting black people (which is exactly what Williams's speech was about). Even worse, Timberlake's own style history was used against him:

JT should know better than to comment on race while pictures like that exist.


2. 50 Cent, because he was arrested for saying "motherf**ker."

Wait till they hear what other words he uses.

Speaking of controversial artists, 50 Cent has never shied away from negative publicity. Even in his old age, he's still willing to be arrested for his gangster image. That's exactly what happened to him on Saturday. The crime? Saying cuss words.

Fitty was performing in St. Kitts, in the Caribbean, a place where it is still literally illegal to say the word "motherf**ker" for some bizarre reason. He was warned before his show, but decided to keep it 100 anyway and drop the M-bomb during his set.

#50cent #PIMP #stkitts #stkittsmusicvestifle

A video posted by Samantha Stowe (@yayysamm) on

Sure enough, the cops were waiting for him when he got offstage. He was hauled off to the Caribbean clink overnight, and only released when he paid a fine. Now he's back in the States, enjoying his Constitutional right to say "motherf**ker" in every other sentence. God bless motherf**king America.


1. This anti-gay protestor who was burned by Jesse Eisenberg.

Jesse Eisenberg, star of Zombieland, Adventureland, and Batman v. Supermanland, is in London performing in a play he wrote called The Spoils. He happened to be biking through London's Pride festival on Sunday when he came across some homophobic protestors. One man, looking like a stuffy extra who would gets pantsed in a Benny Hill cartoon, tried to hand Eisenberg a flyer. When the actor refused, the man condescendingly said, "Is your mind closed?" Then it was Jesse E.'s turn to burn him, mumblecore-style.

In case you couldn't hear his famously low-key delivery, Eisenberg said, "Dude, you're so f**ked up."

Take that, you old bigot! You just got served by The Social Network!

Mariah Carey reveals her secret to staying young—no birthday.

It's a known fact that Mariah Carey is ageless, so it's not surprising that she doesn't celebrate her birthday. She does technically have an age (46) and a birthday (March 27, 1970), but none of that matters in Mimi's World. She is a goddess, and as such, she doesn't adhere to the normal conventions that weigh us mere mortals down. She told People in November, "I think I have to remain eternally oblivious to age. Honestly, when you put a number on it yourself, it’s just like, Why? Why do that?" Seriously, why?

😘⚓️🍾

A photo posted by Mariah Carey (@mariahcarey) on

Nothing else about Carey is normal—her voice is absolutely legendary (and so is her rider), she has her own (wonderfully awful) movie, she basically lives in lingerie, she's rumored to have had her legs insured, and her fiance, James Packer, ​is a billionaire. So when she told Complex, whose August/September cover she graces, "I don’t have a birthday. I was just dropped here. It was a fairyland experience," it's almost believable.

Lorde's Uber driver had no idea who she was so she live-tweeted the ride.

Celebrities are just like us. Singer-songwriter Lorde is so much like us, in fact, that her Uber driver on Tuesday night had no idea she was famous. Much to the delight of the internet, Lorde live-tweeted the whole hilarious ride.

It all started with the driver freaking out about a "celebrity passenger" who was in the car before Lorde, completely unaware of the famous singer currently in his backseat.

We never find out who the first famous rider was, but it must've been someone great. The poor, brokenhearted Uber driver was so focused on his last celebrity encounter he couldn't even see what's right under his nose.

What can we say, Lorde? He was just too smitten with whoever his previous passenger was. The heart wants what it wants. Don't take it personally.


'Bracelet nails' are a new fashion you may actually want on your fingers.

Ready for a nail trend that works for nails of any length or shape, with any nail polish color, and will probably hold up through a few days of work (provided you aren't digging ditches)? Check out "bracelet nails," a cute new idea started by nail goddess Eunkyung Park at her Unistella salon Seoul, South Korea.

BOHO CHIC 😽 #beadsringnail 💋 #braceletnails

A photo posted by 유니스텔라 네일_박은경 (@nail_unistella) on

Park told Cosmopolitan, "I got the idea from an actual bracelet. Suddenly I just envisioned my arm as a nail."

#braceletnails ❤️💋

A photo posted by 유니스텔라 네일_박은경 (@nail_unistella) on

If you aren't able to make it to Seoul to have your nails did by a master, don't worry: this is one you can totally pull off on your own. All you need is thread or striping tape (if you don't know, now you know), nail glue, a pair of cuticle scissors (or any small scissors), and a good heavy-duty topcoat.

Nail jewelry is a great addition if you have some, but it's not necessary to make the look work.

Cut the thread or nail tape a bit longer than it needs to be to fit horizontally (or at an angle) on your nail. If you're using thread, apply nail glue to it and place it where you want it on the nail. If you're using striping tape, that already has adhesive on it.

Loving my bracelet nails 😍😍😍😍 #braceletnails #cnd #shellac #nailart #nails #mani #blinkingorgeousbillericay

Once the piece of thread or tape is perfectly placed on your nail, snip the ends to make it fit perfectly, and then do a few more on the same nail, creating a stacked bracelet look.

If you want to add bits of nail jewelry, glue those on so they look like charms on a bracelet. Then cover it with a good topcoat and you're all set.

After a rocky weekend, it looks like Selena Gomez may be back together with Selena Gomez. On Saturday, the star worried her fans when she posted a cryptic message saying she was feeling “extremely unauthentic, unconnected to both myself and my music.”

But just look at her now!!!!!

Here's hoping that whatever was coming in between Selena and herself was just a boring old hairstyle and a bang-less forehead. Long live Selena and Selena!

10 people share the perfect, brutal comebacks they thought of way too late.

$

There's nothing like a great comeback. A precise, witty retort that absolutely destroys the person who said something insulting and puts them in their place. Of course, that comeback is significantly less effective when it’s thought of minutes, hours, or days later. Here are some people on Reddit who thought of the best thing to say—just not at the best time.

…because it wasn't.

1. Dremora_Lord knows that the key to an insult is swiftness. Well, now they do.

This must be like a year ago.. It was during my I.T. lecture, I was hitting refresh again and again, It's something I do when I'm in front of a PC and not doing anything.. So the lecturer walks near me and yells "Why are you doing that? What exactly do you get from doing that?" I just sat quietly back then.. This morning when I was refreshing my PC I remembered the exact scene, and suddenly came up with a brilliant (at least I think it is brilliant) reply..

My reply should've been "Because it's refreshing"

Thanks brain for coming up with a reply after almost a year..


2. Lyrical_Myrical was getting mugged, which is a pretty good excuse for not coming up with a suitable reply.

When I got mugged, the mugger said to me “what you got?” I should have replied "a black belt in karate, bitch!" And then proceed to beat him to a pulp. Instead I said nothing and let him fish my phone wallet out my pocket.


3. The context of this story from 2muchcontext is that it's about a text, and then there's also some subtext.

We just finished up PE and as we were waiting for the locker rooms to open I'm on my phone. A dude who was fresh out of juvy and likes to fuck with everyone comes up to me and says, "You texting your girlfriend there, bro?" And everyone snickers at how unlikely that would be.

What I should've said?

"No, I'm texting yours."


4. It's truly humbling when one has to compare themselves to George Costanza, like staircasehmm had to do.

Was being insulted by an old friend… about joining his business and he was being a sarcastic prick about it. Felt super Costanza thinking of this 18 hours later.

"I don't think there's enough room up your own ass for two heads in this company."


5. User moaningpilot actually went back and delivered the comeback, which is way more awkward than the initial encounter.

I went one joke too far once and ended up insulting most cancer sufferers at school when I was around 14. Someone called me a 'cancer hater'. Took me about 4 hours to come up with "Does that mean you love cancer?".

Childish response but I was proud of it and had to go back to the guy, remind him of the argument and deliver my comeback nearly 5 hours later.


6. Too soon, Johnnycockseed. Too soon. (About the One Direction news, we mean.)

Driving with my friend to visit family recently, the new One Direction song came on. I asked who was playing, and she said the following: I'll give a hint: they only have four members now." Since she had been lamenting What's-His-Face's departure earlier, I knew the answer.

But later in the day, I came up with the better answer: "The Jackson 5?"


7. Brace yourselves for this story from Oiknn.

Was walking up the stairs at school and was passing a…girl who was in a neck brace because of a recent car accident.

I tripped a little while passing her and in her weird, human/pig crossbreed way, she snorted out

"Walk much?"

I didn't respond, but later realized what I should have said

"Drive much?"


8. I_Fly_Airplanes sure has a lot of arrogance and nerve to bring this up.

Someone asked if I know what “hubris” means. “Yes, of course I do. My vocabulary is unrivaled!” is what I should have said.


9. Actually, kennysui, it wasn't your browsing history. It was your search history.

“Oh God! You saw my Chrome browsing history! Is what i should've said when this girl who worked at google said she doesn't want to date me.


10. As michaelharrison shows, whether now or later, a dad joke is always the way to go.

I work at a retail store that sells electronics. A customer came in and asked if we had any Sharp TVs. I said yeah, and pointed them in the direction of them. Right as they were walking away, i realized i should've touched the corner of the TV right behind me and said, "OW! (pretending my hands in pain) This ones pretty sharp"

10 people shared the bizarre workplace stories that became legends at their job.

$

Like every school with a story of a senior who, like, totally pantsed the principal, every office has its own private mythology. Maybe it was the boss who got caught sleeping with his assistant—by the other assistant he was sleeping with; maybe it's Katherine in sales who got fired for having a shrine to the company VP; maybe it was that guy who, like, totally pansted the CEO. We asked our readers to share their best office legends, and like they did with vacations, bad dates, and creepy bosses, they delivered.

1. If there is one office story that's truly universal, it's "the day someone screwed up on a company-wide email." This person wished to remain anonymous.

I used to work for a very large engineering firm. We would get emails with "safety tips." One day the safety tip was about choking with the attached image. This went company wide. It was never acknowledged or apologized for. Everyone still agrees that it was the best day ever. ​

2. Here's a story Kayla sent us on Facebook from the "nerdy" side of the United States military. A good reminder that even if our armed forces are the greatest in human history, they're still made up of a bunch of humans.

I was stationed at the Defense Language Center for my initial Army training.

One fine day, during the longest and most boring Persian grammar class of my fucking career, a tiny but very recognizable CRACK! sounded through the building, shaking us all from our fantasies of going AWOL.

As it turns out, a Second Lieutenant in the next class over decided that rather than live in (very safe) Monterey, CA, he would live in the shitty town down the road to save his housing allowance. Because this town was essentially one big-ass shooting range, he bought himself a handgun and decided to chance it.

30 seconds later, a notice pops up on our computers that privately owned weapons are prohibited on post, especially if they're loaded. Now, DLI is a primarily military-populated institution, but you're talking about the nerdiest, pimpliest members of America's bravest. Usually the worst that happens is an out of wedlock pregnancy or wild underage drinking.

Not that day. This warrior decided to load the weapon, toss it in his cargo pocket and bring it to work. As he went to stand up, the weapon discharged. The bullet went into the wall, and after 15 seconds of processing, he screamed, "FUCK, I'M GOING TO JAIL!" And ran out of the classroom.

Far from incarceration, he received a small fine and a regulation spanking. HOMEBOY DIDN'T EVEN LOSE HIS COMMISSION! He basically got off on, "He's a brand new Lieutenant, what did you expect?"

So next time you wonder why the defense budget is so high, it's because we're putting people like this in positions of authority.

(Edit: This was in 2010. The general state of our armed forces has deteriorated since then. Odin help us all)

3. This person also wished to remain anonymous, perhaps because they don't want to be put on more lists than their idiot coworker already landed them on.

I worked at an advertising agency for several years. We were based at a municipal airport near downtown of a medium-sized, Midwest city. When politicians and celebrities came to town, they often arrived and departed from the airport so we watched all the comings and goings from our desks.

It was common, especially during election years, for the President, First Lady, VP, or other government bigwigs to land right outside our windows. On one such occasion, the President arrived on Air Force One. One of my more dimwitted colleagues thought it would be hilarious to prop a gun-wielding Star Wars storm trooper cardboard cutout in the window overlooking the Tarmac.

He was swiftly detained and fired. The Secret Service ain't playin'.

4. Every office has a story about someone loading printer toner in wrong, but it's touching that this office made it a memorial to a late coworker. Our reader Karen went above and beyond to send in actual photographic proof:

About seven years ago, one of my co-workers was going to replace the toner in the copy machine. She was so sure she was doing it right. . .she pulled the rip cord on the toner cartridge without inserting it into the copy machine. Boom! Huge, billowing mushroom cloud of toner caked the about a 10' x 10' area of the office floor and walls. Had to cordon off the area and have hazmat come in to remove.

Our beloved co-worker passed away two years ago, so we put a picture of an angel above the copy machine in her memory to commemorate her handiwork (that still remains on the wall)!

5. This story from Janel is the perfect example of the terrible co-worker story. We've all worked with a Linda at one point or another. She's a nice person, deep down.

I once worked for a very small company of about 15 employees. Most of the staff were young twenty-somethings fresh out of college but we had one coworker who was an older woman in her late 50's. She was a very sweet, lovely woman but you could tell she wasn't always quite mentally there. Let's call her Linda.

One day, I showed up to work early and was back chatting with the office manager in the back office. "Linda" comes rushing in and then out of the office. I thought it was strange but she had some odd behavior so I didn't think much of it. After chatting with my coworker, I walk up to the front of the office and see what looks like mud leading out the front office door. I think to myself, "Who would track mud in here?" But again, I am not alarmed and I head to my desk.

A few minutes later, my phone rings and it is my coworker telling me to go to the front of the office. I tell her I was just up there and someone had tracked mud in the office. She proceeds to tell me that it's not mud. When "Linda" had come rushing in and out, she ran straight to the bathroom. Apparently, she had an "accident" and it was all over the walls and bathroom floor. She tracked it into the office and it was a trail leading right to her desk. The worst part, she didn't even realize it. She was walking around with it running down her leg. Our boss came in and flipped out and started cleaning her up, literally wiping the shit off her leg. (side note: she and the boss used to boink).

6. Kari on Facebook would like to remind everyone that having women be the majority in the office is no barrier to any truly determined creep.

I worked for a healthcare quality analytics company. Lots of statistical programming. Despite that both statistics and programming are "male dominated" fields, only 2 of our ~30 analysts were male (and only 1 male on the project management side).
About a year after I had stated, our VP of Informatics (my boss's boss) was put on administrative leave as he was being investigated for sexual harassment.
Complaints included:
Alleged dick pics, late night texts to female employees, knocking things off of desks just so he could see ladies bend over, inviting everyone out for happy hour and then making out with the employees (my sister, who also worked for the company, witnessed this AND also relayed that he said he wanted to fuck me but I seem too prude), asking girls what kind of guys they're into, commentary on employees' bra sizes...
Classy dude.
He resigned from his position only to be hired as a consultant so the company could distance themselves from his behavior.
All females were warned about him within a week.

He had some comeuppance though...
He told a dude that one of the interns was cute and could get the dude into her pants. The dude said, "I have a wife." Creepy boss said, "That doesn't matter. You can still have some on the side." Creepy boss's nose got broken (kudos to the dude for his bravery-- creepy boss was 6'2" and a former competition-level body builder).

7. Country clubs are very exclusive about what living people they let in—dead people, though, according to this anonymous reader, they'll just put anywhere.

Worked at a private country club and during a wedding reception one of the guests died. Instead of disrupting the party, the mother of the bride asked us to just put the deceased in another room and close the door.
We also had a chef that had a heart attack and fell face first into a pot of soup.

8. Elcasey would like to give horny workers this helpful bit of advice: drive out of your security cameras' field of vision.

When I was working at a health care insurance company, an employee got in trouble for having sex with another person in his car. Security was reviewing footage of the parking lot video camera for something unrelated and apparently the camera caught everything — and then some — in high definition.

9. You might want stronger Non-Disclosure Agreements if everyone in the office still talks about what happened, Gina. (Also, we're capitalizing Penis from now on.)

A guy was once put on administrative leave because he allegedly put his Penis on his keyboard to show a coworker. The story goes that he originally admitted to it, then changed his story and denied it. Either way, he was allowed to return to work. All parties involved had to sign a nondisclosure agreement, but the whole office knew what had happened.​

10. Finally, Courtney wins for... everything. People say getting on welfare is easy, but her coworker proves it takes a lot of determination.

I work in a cube farm with a bunch of other personal assistants...

Heard a story about a girl who used her time to audibly call sperm banks in hopes to get pregnant to apply for welfare. She was also heard saying " I can only talk during business hours, as I can't afford long-distance."

Remember the Ice Bucket Challenge? The money from it actually did something amazing.

Good news, everybody who withstood having a bucket of icy water dumped over their heads—2014's big Ice Bucket Challenge raised more than $100 million for the ALS Foundation. That money was put to use helping scientists identify a gene that was found to be one of the most common in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Your wetness was not in vain!

Bernard Muller, an entrepreneur who suffers from ALS (which affects neurons in the spinal cord and brain, and can be fatal), and who aided in starting the research project, told ABC:

The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge enabled us to secure funding from new sources in new parts of the world. This transatlantic collaboration supports our global gene hunt to identify the genetic drivers of ALS. I'm incredibly pleased with the discovery of the NEK1 gene adding another step towards our ultimate goal, eradicating this disease from the face of the earth.

Former Boston College baseball star Pete Frates, who also has ALS, was a big part of getting the challenge trending around the world. Here's a video about him explaining how the challenge started and how, with the help of athletes and other celebrities, so many people came together to help.

This shirt was pulled for being 'too offensive' in '95, but is definitely fitting for today.

Back in August of 1995, a Walmart in Florida pulled an "offensive" shirt off the shelves after getting a complaint that the T-shirt didn't represent "family values." The shirt in question featured the character Margaret from Dennis the Menace and said "Someday a woman will be PRESIDENT!" Advert your eyes, offensive shirt below.

Now, almost exactly 21 years later, the democratic party has elected the first female ever to run on a major party ticket for the presidency. So HA.

According to an article run by the Associated Press entitled, "Wal-Mart Pulls 'Offensive' Shirt," the company stopped selling the shirts at the only store that had them after one customer complained. By the time the "offensive" apparel was removed from stores, they had already sold about two-thirds of their stock of 204 shirts.

"It was determined the T-shirt was offensive to some people, and so the decision was made to pull it from the sales floor," Jane Bockholt, Walmart spokeswoman said.

I'm offended at the stupidity of the offended people.

Ann Moliver Ruben, the 70-year-old psychologist who designed the shirt, said that after Walmart stopped selling her shirts, the case became a national controversy and she saw a huge influx of customers ordering directly from her. Eventually Walmart agreed to sell the T-shirt again after people started boycotting their stores.

GIRLS.

So much has changed in 21 years. We don't even hyphenate Walmart anymore!

UPDATE 7/28/16 2:39pm: A spokesperson from Walmart has requested we provide this statement.

Wow, it still pains us that we made this mistake 20 years ago. We’re proud of the fact that our country – and our company – has made so much progress in advancing women in the workplace, and in society.

Today, Donald Trump looked directly into a television camera and told Russia to hack into Hillary Clinton's emails. “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” he said, staring into the lens. “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.” He doubled down in tweet form:

This wasn't even close to the only weird thing he said—he said Putin calls President Obama the n-word (how would he know?), confused Tim Kaine with someone else and confirmed he would never, ever release his taxes. Today. Welcome to the Thunderdome, let's take comfort in funny tweets.

Gag warning: There's a poop-themed restaurant coming to Toronto, Canada (based on another poop-themed restaurant in Taiwan), where you can eat all the poop shaped items your little heart (or whatever) wants. And you do it all on toilets!

Lien Nguyen, the owner of Poop Café Dessert Bar, has a mission to make poop less gross. Good luck with that, Lien! She said to The Toronto Star:

[It’s] considered very disgusting, [something] you can’t talk about when you’re eating... I’m trying to make poop cute.

Besides the poop-themed cafe in Taiwan, there are other spots throughout Asia that really like poop. There's also a toilet-themed cafe in Los Angeles (with poop-themed dishes), and Disney is offering treats inspired by animal droppings.

If you've made it through this article, you're probably thinking what we're thinking.

Dude makes a music video while his very patient mom drives him around.

This video by a YouTuber named Motoki (account name Moretoki) is a good illustration of when you're in a music video in your mind, but your body is in a car with your mom. Only he's actually in videos for like 10 different songs—the "hottest bangers," according to the video description.

So much editing! It's funny, but a little goes a long way. And that's the end result—imagine the making of! Playing the song over and over again, just to get it right? He's lucky she didn't drive them both straight off a bridge. That is a patient mom right there. Good on her.

What these 5 women who didn't know they were pregnant said when they went into labor.

What would you say if you were going about your normal day and suddenly an infant came shooting out of your lady parts? Maybe "OW" or "HUH?" or a string of expletives so intense they'd make Christian Bale blush? I know it sounds like a horror movie, but studies show one out of every 7,225 pregnancies are undetected until delivery. It's called cryptic pregnancy and these five women actually lived it.

What baby bump?

1. "Something fell out of me."

I'm tired of these mother f'in babies on this mother f'n plane.

23-year-old Ada Guan told Global News she'd been having stomach pain, but both a home pregnancy test and doctor's visit came back negative. (What doctor did she see, Dr. Dre?) Obviously, Ada was shocked when she got sick on a flight from Canada to Japan and told her boyfriend, "Something fell out of me."

Her chill AF boyfriend said, "I lifted up her pants and I saw a head and then I heard, 'Waah!' I thought, 'Oh my god, I think we have a kid.'"

If you're looking for an upgrade to first class, be sure to give this terrifying experience a try.


2. "Oh my God."

All mother's feel guilty, but toilet baby mothers feel the guiltiest.

When 25-year-old Gaynor Rzepka woke up in the middle of the night with cramps, she assumed she just needed to use the bathroom. While on the toilet, she pushed and holy cow, a baby boy popped out. "My first words were just repeating: “Oh my God," she said.

I didn’t have any signs, no morning sickness, no pain, no heartburn, nothing at all. I had periods all the way through. I didn’t really put on very much weight until Christmas, and I just thought that was a Christmas belly.”

Hot tip: Make sure your food baby is not an actual baby.


3. "No, no, that's impossible."

If running leads to surprise babies, I'm glad I never leave the couch.

Trish Staine was stunned to learn the pain she was in after a nine-mile run was actually labor. Trish already had two kids, so she definitely knew what pregnancy symptoms felt like. Also her husband had a vasectomy, so needless to say, they did not see this coming. When she realized she was giving birth Staine told CBS News she freaked out, "I said 'no, no, that's impossible.'"

They named the little surprise Mira -- short for Miracle. Much better than Whatthe -- short for What the Hell.


4.“It's a baby, oh my God! It's a baby.”

Talk about a surprise birthday party!

Starting a new job is super stressful, now imagine going into labor on your first day. That's what happened Klara Dollan. The 22 year-old said she had no morning sickness, no baby bump, no pain or cravings, and was on the pill. She told The Daily Mail about her shocking experience.

The pain suddenly became so bad I said to myself: “I don't care, I'm going to have to scream.” Then I had this extremely painful urge to push: that's when the head came out. I was screaming: “It's a baby, oh my God! It's a baby."

When Klara called her Mom to tell her she was now a grandma, her mother said, “How is that possible? I saw you this morning and you weren't pregnant.”

Wow, the phrase "anything's possible," just went from inspiring to terrifying.

5. "This cannot be happening to me again."

That face you make when you had two dang surprise babies.

You read that right, she said, "again." Tawanda’s story was featured on the TLC show I Still Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant because she has had not one, but two, surprise babies. The first time she gave birth was in a cab after a night of partying in the club. She told the horrified cab driver there's "something coming out of me." Who among us hasn't screamed that after a night of heavy drinking?

13 years, and four normal pregnancies later, Tawanda had a second freaking surprise baby at her friend’s BBQ! Hey Tawanda, when the host asked you to bring something, she probably just meant potato salad.

Since Tawanda had already been pregnant five times, the fact that she didn’t know she was pregs the sixth time is even more surprising than a surprise baby. She now has six healthy kids and a TV credit. Not too shabby.​
