According to BuzzFeed, a senior from Meredith College named Maigan Kennedy decided to forego traditional graduation photos in exchange for a shoot that will better reflect what she will really be getting out of her college experience—a crushing amount of student loans to pay back. ​

Because graduation season is again upon us, the class of 2016 is embarking on their adventure out of collegiate life and into what is only known as "the real world." They will bring with them knowledge, wisdom, and never-ending mountains of crippling debt. 

Kennedy is receiving her BA in theatre from Meredith College in North Carolina. She told BuzzFeed  she was inspired by the scene in American Beauty where Mena Suvari is covered in roses for her "Drowning in Debt" photo shoot. Employing the talents of friend and photographer Areon Mobasher, she to make it happen.

Mobasher told BuzzFeed news, “I initially expected them to be the standard series of graduation photos, similar to the ones I’ve been taking for seniors at my school these past few weeks. Knowing Maigan… well, I should have expected these photos were to happen.”

They also took some more traditional pictures for her family, but nothing can hide that "I am so screwed because of these stupid student loans" look in her eyes.

A ten foot statue of the Greek hero Heracles stands in Parc Mauresque, France, but it's missing one big part. According to Hyperallergic and multiple news outlets, over the years Heracles' glorious marble penis has been repeatedly stolen by vandals.

Town officials have finally decided they have had enough of the castrations, and made the decision to largely leave the poor guy standing out there without a dick for most of the year. But they did make an exception; Heracles will be fitted with a removable prosthetic penis that will only make an appearance during special occasions like ceremonies and festivals. 

The statue was made by Claude Bouscau and "erected" in 1948. After its initial reveal, apparently women were shocked by the size of Heracles' marble member, and Bouscau had to shave it down not once, but twice.

The town's mayor Yves Foulon told Sud Ouest, “I wouldn’t want anyone—not even my worst enemies — to go through what happened to this statue." 

After all that this statue's penis has seen, it would seem the prosthetic is a pretty big deal.

Will the real Good Hair Becky please stand up? One day after speculation ran rampant that designer Rachel Roy (not chef Rachael Ray) was the "Becky with the good hair" Beyoncé was singing about in the song "Sorry" from her visual album Lemonade, people are wondering if said Becky might actually be British singer Rita Ora. All right, Beyhive, Becky witch hunt—GO!

This hypothesis was not reached through complicated detective work on the part of the fans—Ora threw herself into the mix on Monday by posting a Snapchat photo of herself in a bralette (for people who don't know: a bralette is basically a bra, but without any actual support) decorated with lemons and a necklace with the initial J (for Jay Z? Jezebel? Jazzy Jeff?).

Ora signed to Jay Z's record label Roc Nation in 2008, but in December she filed a lawsuit against the label, seeking to be freed from the contract and citing Mr. Z's developing interests in other endeavors, like sports management and the music streaming service Tidal. She also claimed that Rihanna was offered hit tracks before her, and that her "relationship with Roc Nation is irrevocably damaged." In February, Roc Nation sued Ora right back, claiming that they'd already spent $2.3 million on her second album, which never materialized.

So is Rita Ora Becky? Or is it Rachel Roy? Could it be Becky from Empire? Becky from Roseanne (she had some pretty great hair)? Who will wear the lemons and hold the Becky sceptre next?

Now that people have mostly made it through the initial shock of Prince's death, everyone can start to share stories about how intimidated they were by his mystique. On The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon recalls the time when Prince challenged him to a private ping pong match at Susan Sarandon's New York ping pong club, which Fallon felt obliged to accept even though he'd just had a newborn daughter. It sounds like a bizarre dream, just like nearly everything Prince did.

The match apparently ended as mysteriously as it had begun, with Prince quite literally disappearing and leaving a defeated Jimmy Fallon alone to wonder what the hell just happened.

On top of being a prolific musician, the Purple Messiah was also apparently quite the sportsman, having previously demonstrated his affinity for ping pong on New Girl.

And of course, his love for basketball is the stuff of legend.

Beyoncé released a brand new album on Saturday, and an hour-long musical presentation to go with it. Have you heard of it? Lemonade? You might've seen a few tweets about it. Then, ineffectual British Andy Rooney impersonator Piers Morgan wrote a column this morning complaining that Lemonade suffers from Beyoncé's "political mission," despite its main topic being infidelity.

Arguably, Morgan was trolling for clicks, but Twitter had fun roasting him all day long nonetheless. These are the 21 funniest clapbacks to Piers Morgan's Beyoncé thinkpiece!

In honor of National Lingerie Day (did you forget to celebrate?) on April 25, model Ashley Graham went out in public in her undergarments, according to Interrobang. It's a steamy video, because subways are permanently filled with the gross bodily heat of passengers.

Graham wasn't feeling herself up on a train car for fun. She was working for Addition Elle.

A couple weeks back, the model posted a different video of herself gathering subway germs onto her half-naked body.

That video is much less likely to induce vertigo in a viewer than her newer one.

Bring on the Lemonade parodies! First in what will inevitably be a barrage of spoofs of Beyoncé's visual album, here is Lemonjames. The Late Late Show's James Corden wore the braids and the fur and did the monologueLemonade-style ("I try to write a monologue for you night after night. Even when we don't have a show, I write a monologue, but you don't see that.").

Lemonjames features a few Donald Trump jokes, a reference to "Jimmy with the good hair," and, of course, Cordoncé​ smashing some old TV sets with a baseball bat.

Okay, very nice. Next!

It's tough to imagine a mating ritual more awkward than Tinder, but in the not-so distant past, humanity reached Peak Cringe with "video dating." Instead of swiping through a bunch of photos of dudes with tigers or women's mirror selfies on one's phone, people would watch these reels of dating pitches to meet Hot Singles in their Area. Doing the equivalent of reading their Tinder bios out loud, these dudes look straight into the camera and make their best pitches to potential matches.

Highlights include:

• "Hi, I'm Maurice. I'm an executive by day and a wild man by night."
• "Hi, I'm Mike. If you're sitting here watching your video smoking a cigarette, go ahead and press the Fast Forward button, because I don't smoke and I don't like people who do smoke."
• "I'm looking for the goddess. Are you the goddess? Who's the goddess? A goddess is a woman, the woman, it's all women."
• "I'm a 25-year subscriber to both Playboy and The New Yorker magazine."
• "I seek a person that is childlike."

As if the pitch video isn't embarrassing enough, each person got a title card flashing on screen with their most pertinent information.

The old video resurfaced a couple of years ago, and frequently goes re-viral. Ellen DeGeneres brought three of the guys onto her show, and two of them were still available. 

There's nothing like the painfully awkward dating of the past to make you appreciate the painfully awkward dating of the present. 

Privates is a secure messaging app that allows users to protect pics, texts and videos sent between users. It has many features, but two of the most promising are preventing screenshots and allowing users to retract a message after it's been sent. This has natural appeal to those that send text messages to exes or nude pics that they would never want anyone else to see.

The app claims that "users can feel safe knowing Privates keeps your data not just encrypted away from the reach of hackers but also protects against screenshots." They talk an awful lot about hackers on their site and in their YouTube video, but hackers generally aren't after everyone's drunk texts. 

This app is clearly for people who want to send nudes to each other, or those that want to avoid getting busted for cheating. Being able to retract a text message you might regret is great; but it has to be with someone else who uses the app. Chances are you're not going to ask an ex or your boss to sign up for this app so you have the option of avoiding regretful texts.

This app seems to be just what the name promises: a way to protect your privates (nude pics). And for that purpose, it's fantastic, since the sender can determine the security features the recipient must use to view their message. The strongest security setting requires the recipient to have the camera on their phone scan their face. Not bad.

Privates is perfect if you're looking for some app security that feels like it's from a Mission Impossible movie.

Ex-teen bride Courtney Stodden posted another no makeup selfie on Sunday, proving to the world that yep, the heavy makeup she usually wears still comes off. The 21-year-old wore a bikini and captioned the Instagram "No makeup by the pool kinda day #nomakeup#bikini#blonde #picoftheday."

Here's the thing though—is this really a no makeup selfie? No, it is not. Look. No, look up. That's not her face, look away from the boobs, up, up, okay, yup, there you go. The skin on her face is suspiciously matte (foundation and/or powder), her brows look very well-groomed (filled in with brow pencil), she has no undereye circles (color corrector/concealer), and her lips are awfully shiny for someone who is not currently drooling (lip gloss). Maybe she meant "light makeup" (although for her "light makeup" would still entail about 26 different products and at least 45 minutes prep). Whatever. You're looking at her boobs again.

The reality television star (lol) has actually posted pictures of herself completely makeup-free before. Like this one, after she accidentally set her bangs on fire during a drunken séance (Please, like you've never done that?).

Notice the difference between the two pictures? Okay, yes, one features boobs while the other does not, but also, look at her face. See? Her "pool day" selfie is not no makeup. Stodden, you filthy frickin' liar! Don't try to fool your Instagram followers, young lady, they know the difference between no makeup and the "no makeup look" that guys think is no makeup because they're idiots.

At some point in your life, you probably have fantasized about winning a lifetime supply of something. Whether you thought about winning enough food to never have to go grocery shopping ever again, or enough wine just to make it through the work week, having a free supply of something until you die sounds like a dream come true (well, besides the part where you die). These Redditors have actually gotten to experience that kind of magic, and have either won lifetime or year-long supplies of something. They shared their experiences about winning, and made pretty much everyone reading very jealous in the process.

1. PiratePegLeg has enough Mars Bars to feed an obese, gluttonous army.

I won a lifetime supply of Mars Bars when I was 15. I get a box of 30 delivered every month. For the first 6 months it was awesome, never had to buy chocolate, had plenty to share with my friends. After a year it was hard to even give them away as everyone was sick of Mars Bars.

Now every 3 months or so I deliver 75 or so to my local food bank. I'm currently living in Thailand, I dread to think how many Mars Bars I'm going to go home too.

2. Jake382 traded their lifetime supply of tickets to sporting events for cold hard cash.

Mcdonalds monopoly was going on and we won 8 EA Sports games each year for life. We got a call a week or two later and were offered a cash option instead. Turned out to be worth around 24,000 dollars.

Edit: We took the cash after my mom started crying when she heard the woman on the phone say it.

Edit 2: My mom also yelled at my dad for buying chicken nuggets before he could explain what was going on.

3. Malzypants fed the neighborhood with their year supply of cereal.

Won a year's supply of Apple Jack's cereal when I was 10. Literally a pallet of AJ was dropped at my front door. The entire neighborhood ate AJ for months.

4. legendofpaige's teacher gave laundry detergent away as gifts. Thanks?

I hate to be that person to say "not me but-" but I had a teacher who got a lifetime supply of Tide. He bought a box at the grocery store and it was half empty for some reason, so he wrote a really polite letter to Tide to let them know. A truck showed up at his house with a lifetime supply of Tide. They used to give it away as gifts to dinner guests and friends because they didn't know what to do with all of it. One day he got a call from his mom saying she was using the final box. Apparently it lasted for a good number of years though. Would have lasted for longer if they didn't give most of it away.
Edit: It seems a lot of people don't know what Tide was, I didn't even think about that while writing this out. It's just laundry detergent, but it's one of the more expensive ones.

5. andelocks tasted the rainbow a little too hard.

My mom won a ? year supply of skittles in the form of over a thousand coupons for a free bag. The boner was you could only redeem 5 coupons a time at any one store. I've sat in a Rubbermaid filled with skittles, made giant balls of compressed skittles, made it rain skittles style at my friends wedding, thrown up hundreds of rainbows. Still love em.

6. gcm6664 was lucky not once, but twice.

When I was young (like 5) my parents won a years supply of Cool Whip on "Let's Make a Deal". A few weeks later my dad stopped a truck and informed the driver his trailer was on fire. The truck was hauling Tootsie Rolls and the driver gave him several cases.

I only remember that during that time it seemed like Cool Whip and Tootsie Rolls were "free" similar to Water, unlike the other things that you had to shop for. These things are still valueless to me.

7. AndrewL78 gets older, but his razors stay the same age.

In 1974, my dad was a detective in the vice squad. One night they busted a few guys driving a truck that had many kilos of coke hidden amongst a shipment of razors. After the trial, all the guys in his unit got to take home as many as they wanted. I was born 8 years later and neither he nor I have ever bought razors since. If someone sees me shaving they might ask where I got that 1970s razor. So I tell them: the 1970s.

8. newstarttn confirms that it actually is possible to get sick of eating delicious burritos.

My brother-in-law won the Chipotle Adventurrito thing and won free burritos for a year. There are 52 coupons for burritos. He's used some of them but now he uses them as alternative currency. Homeless man asking for money? Chipotle burrito. Not sure what to do for a casual gift? Chipotle burrito coupon. Want to tip a person without giving money? Here's a burrito. Guess what I got for Christmas?

Edit: As much as I appreciate all of the comments about the gifts that I could've gotten, I got Chipotle burritos and watercolor paint. I know it must come as a huge surprise. I was never expecting burritos. Apparently, neither was anyone else.

9. Pchanizzle comes clean about how much soap they have.

My mom and dad bought a water softener about 22 years ago. With it came a lifetime supply of bar soap. The company gave it to them all at once. It was a pallet of bar soap... thousands of bars of soap. They still have a bunch of it. The soap is "Lan-o-Sheen" brand.

10. lgtm is not salty about winning a year supply of pretzels.

A family member won a year's supply of pretzels. It was really more pretzels than any family could eat in a year. A pallet of pretzels. An obscene amount of pretzels. You could say it was twisted.

Cue to two years later and we're having peppermint bark with pretzels embedded in it. Yup, same pretzels.

11. dumbolddoor would have traded it all to meet Shamu.

I won a year supply of kraft mac n cheese for trying to win the contest of getting your face on the box. all i wanted to win was that trip to sea world.. but all i got was an honorable mention... so mac n cheese for a year will suffice. edit: yes ive seen blackfish and the cove and every other documentary, but I was 7 at the time- give me some goddamn slack.

12. buddhabear1 will never know the dread of running out of toilet paper when you need it most.

I currently receive what seems to be a lifetime supply of toilet paper… Over 20 years ago, I lived in Southern California, and became fond of a variety of Charmin that was infused with baby oil. (So soft and smooth!) Shortly thereafter, I moved to Virginia for work. The local stores didn't have my baby oil Charmin, and I was told that it didn't exist. I called Proctor and Gamble to find out what was up, and was told that the baby oil version was offered in So.Cal. as a test market, and it didn't turn out so well, so it is no longer offered to stores. I was crushed. The company did, however, take my name and address, and I was told that I would receive coupons in the mail for my inquiry, and interest in their product. About three weeks later, a box arrived from Proctor and Gamble that contained two separate four packs of toilet paper, one marked A, and the other B. The letter that was enclosed stated that since I had such a penchant for toilet paper, I had been selected to test out their new varieties. I was instructed to use the package marked A for a week, and then switch to the package marked B the following week. I was told a phone call would follow. After two weeks, I received a call from the company asking about the results of my test. They asked these crazy questions, like, could I name three adjectives describing my experience with both types of paper! It was definitely a phone call to remember. At the end of the call, I was told that I would receive coupons and other considerations in the mail for my participation in this test. Ever since then, I have received a free four pack of Charmin toilet paper, once a month, every month. This has gone on for over 20 years, and does not look like it will stop.

13. ImaginationStation had a whole fridge filled with "the best stuff on Earth."

Not so much "won" as "bribed with" Snapple for life.

My dad worked in marketing for transportation catering in the 90s and Snapple gave us a truck full of every single one of their product types. They stopped by every six months or so to get our feedback and ask if we wanted more. At one point we had a Snapple-only double fridge in our laundry room to chill 3 of each flavor while the rest were in boxes taking up a good part of our garage.

My cousin tried to maintain a bottle-top collection, but lost count after 5000~.

I have no idea if my dad still gets Snapple like that, but his house still has a Snapple-only fridge.

It was awesome, bordering magical.

I would replace my veins with 90s Snapple if I could. No regrets on that experience.

14. dynamovolition is the unluckiest lifetime supply winner ever.

I won a lifetime supply of a particular brand of ice cream in a local naming contest when I was 12, but I didn't get it all at once. It all accounts to a certain amount of tubs in the form of a voucher that I am able to use over and over again, but I'm not sure what that amount is. I don't keep track of it on account of the fact that I'm lactose intolerant and rarely purchase ice cream unless company is coming over or something.

15. KnowMatter already ran out of something they received a "lifetime supply" of.

I never got the full story on how they got them, but my grandparents somehow ended up with two dozen or so pallets of tic tacs of various flavors. To put this in perspective consider how big those plastic containers tic tacs come in are, now consider how many you could fit in a fully stacked pallet and multiply it several times over... yeah.

It was pretty awesome, until we ran out of orange ones.

16. SBecker30 can go see scary clowns for life.

My wife won a lifetime pass to the circus when she was in kindergarten. Almost 20 years of trips, she still get's VIP seats any (and every night if she wanted) for herself and 3 other people. It's been awesome since we've had kids!

17. fameisforassholes probably had the most creative use for their lifetime supply.

Roommate and I won a "lifetime" supply of butter in college. Apparently "lifetime" was 2lbs of butter a week for a year. Stocked it up, got drunk, and tried to make a slip and slide with all the butter. It went okay.

Edit: For all those wondering about the success of said butter slide, remember to let your butter melt for a while to provide sufficient lubrication. Even with the sting of butter in the road rash, I would give the experience a 7/10, would do again.

18. iamkokonutz made a commercial in order to win a year's supply of KD.

I won what was supposed to be a years supply, 365 boxes of KD. They ended up giving over 1,000 boxes though. I just gave it all to the food bank.

(KD is Kraft Dinner here in Canada, Americans know it as Kraft macaroni and cheese. Canadians eat more KD per capita than any country in the world. It's a staple. This is all the KD we could fit in the car for the picture. ​​I remember having twice as much.

EDIT: For people who are asking how we won, it was a contest where you made a video to show how you love your KD. We beat a girl named Hailey who was 3 years old and tap danced how she loved her KD. We kinda kicked her ass... (I know, I couldn't act my way out of a paper bag.

 

19. PTRugger ate like a king for a year. A king who loves nuggets.

I won a years supply of ChickfilA at a grand opening. They gave us 52 free Chickfila Sandwich vouchers (which could luckily be used for nuggets is well). Considering how many of those nuggets I would've eaten if it had been unlimited, they got off very easily. I worked next door to a Chickfila that summer...ate nuggets for lunch every. Single. Day.

20. If viberight drank their entire lifetime supply, it would probably shorten their lifetime.

Life supply of Monster energy a few years back ( 6 in 1 box) I won 365 boxes of monster energy

21. Then, as a bonus, what Canis07 won is the gift that keeps on giving.

My platoon sergeant once told me I won a lifetime supply of shut the fuck up. So, uh, I guess I still have that going for me.

SNL resident young person Pete Davidson is reportedly dating a David daughter. After Larry David all-but-officially joined the SNL cast to play Bernie Sanders this season, he introduced audiences to his kind-of-impression of Bernie and also his daughter, Cazzie David, to Davidson. 

One can only imagine what Larry David is like as a potential father-in-law, and if his curmudgeonly charm makes him a super protective dad. But the young lovers are unafraid, and ridiculously cute on Instagram, proving there is one thing that David and David daughter do not have in common:

David's daughter seems very comfortable with human contact. Here, look at Davidson and her hug, seated.

They also hug, standing.

They have planking thumb wars.

They stare lovingly into each other's eyes, as he has her portrait on his forearm.

He also has her initials on his ankle. Of course, time will tell if these are permanent tats or not.

They pose at the dermatologist's office.

Davidson better get used to this look.​

In another unfortunate instance of an LGBTQ southerner experiencing homophobia during a business transaction, New Orleans resident Melissa Langford alleges that she was refused service at a Family Dollar store due to her sexual orientation.

Langford told CBS New Orleans that the "cashier was just loudly stating her opinion on her disdain for gay people." Langford, who is gay, eventually spoke up to express her offense at the comments. The situation only escalated from there, with a supportive customer stepping up to defend Langford in the cell phone footage below.

Langford, a frequenter of this particular Family Dollar, went on to elaborate her disdain for the cashier's disdain for gay people.

I think everybody's entitled to think what they want, but as a representative of a company, like a national chain, it's completely inappropriate and a blatant disregard for other people's feelings.

Langford told CBS that she'd accept any form of response from the company as long as they acknowledged that this was an unacceptable way to treat customers.

Family Dollar soon issued a statement responding to Langford's disdain and expressed the company's disdain for their employee's disdain.

We take incidents like this very seriously. We have a Code of Ethics in place that ensures inclusion for customers and associates and helps to ensure good customer care. The code specifically forbids unprofessional conduct and comments on sexual orientation, among other matters. Any activity that goes against this code is simply not how we expect our stores to do business.

This situation is currently under investigation.

Fortunately the incident didn't crush Langford's spirit, made evident by the fact that she uploaded a cover of Stevie Nicks' 'Landslide' the same day she posted footage of the event at Family Dollar.

Two years ago, (HIMYM spoilers ahead, of course)​a Reddit user named Arguss apparently correctly predicted the twist ending of How I Met Your Mother—that is, that the mother dies and Ted and Robin end up together instead after Robin divorces Barney. Now, he's turned his psychic sights onto Game of Thrones. Warning... possible spoilers ahead?!?!

Writes Arguss: 

This is literally just a wild guess, but:

The Faith Militant get into a civil war in the capital with the Lannisters, weakening them. Littlefinger and his friends the Tyrells use this distraction as an opportunity to assert power. Tyrion counsels Daenaerys about ruling and, along with Varys, prepare for an invasion of Westeros. Meanwhile, Jon Snow gets resurrected and leads the Wildlings and the remains of the Night's Watch in a pitched battle against the Whitewalkers, but without reinforcements they'll be overrun. Dorne attacks at some point and further confuses things.

You have the Whitewalkers coming in from the North, Westeros in yet another civil war, weakened, and then Daenaerys comes along to save the day, using her dragons to kill the Whitewalkers, save the kingdom, and restore the Targaryen line. The name of the series is completed, with the Dragonfire being used to fight back the 'ice' of the Whitewalkers. A Song of Ice and Fire.

Of course, that leaves out theories about Jon Snow's parentage, who Daenerys is going to get to ride her dragons, what Arya and Sansa and Bran and Cersei and Jaime and Margaery have to do with all of this, and whether Daenerys and zombie Jon Snow are gonna bone (they gotta bone, right?).

Still, considering how complicated Game of Thrones is, that's not a bad resolution.

Matt Coyne, father of six-month-old Charlie and author of Facebook blog Man vs Baby, wrote a hilarious post about the stressful, frustrating, and totally relatable trials and tribulations of traveling with a small child. His entry, posted on April 20, covers everything from making a list of what to pack ("Everything") to how to change a baby's diaper on an airplane ("When airlines say they have 'baby changing facilities' what they actually mean is: 'a shelf'"). The essay currently has 40,000 likes and 15,000 shares on Facebook, because it's funny whether you've got a kid or not (because, come on, you've at least seen a kid before, right?)

His post reads:

So, we've just come back from Charlie's first holiday.

One or two people were a bit judgey about the idea of taking a 6-month old away. "So, you're taking him on holiday?" Yeah. "Abroad?" Yeah. "Somewhere hot??" Yeah. "On an aeroplane??" ...By which point I was tempted to answer: "No, me and Lyns will be going on the plane, but we thought we'd get Charlie there by driving him to Dover and firing him out of a f*cking cannon".

What I actually said was: "It'll be fine". And you know what? It was.

Here's some other stuff I learnt holidaying with our tiny human..

- We had a checklist for what to pack, it had just one item on it:.. 'Everything'

The amount of stuff you need to take for a weekend is comical.. to go away for a whole week its roughly the same amount of stuff that the nazis took to invade Poland.

- Don't take an expensive pram on a flight.. The moment you check-in and that pushchair disappears behind that rubber curtain it is collected by two WWF wrestlers who smash it against a wall for half an hour.. before it is transferred to the runway, where they reverse the plane over it a couple of times before placing it in the hold.

At your destination.. for some bizarre reason you have to collect whatever is left of your pram (a wheel) from a baggage carousel that's f*cking miles away.. (I'm sure our stroller ended up closer to the airport we'd just left).

- One of our worries about the flight was that we'd get seated next to someone unhappy about being near a baby.. We hoped to be sat next to a kindly old Angela Lansbury type, with a soft spot for babies.. In the end we got sat next to a woman who had a face like a cats arse being burned at the stake..

To be honest, we didn't care.. after 6 months we're developing a thick skin for this sort of crap.. Some people have a problem with babies, whether they're sat next to them in a restaurant or on a flight.. These people are what my dear old nan used to call 'arseholes'. (Also, I suspect that if the woman in question had greeted us with a smile, rather than a roll of her eyes, we'd have been more inclined to tell her that she'd come back from the toilet with her skirt stuck in her tights, and was showing everyone her arse).

- When airlines say they have 'baby changing facilities' what they actually mean is: 'a shelf'.

- Changing a baby in a plane toilet is like the hardest round on 'The Cube'. Basically ..imagine trying to carve a turkey in a phone-box.. now half the size of the f*cking phone box, and arrange for an incontinent dickhead to bang on the door every five seconds.

- If your baby will sit quietly during the flight that's great , if they will sleep.. even better. If like Charlie, your little one likes to 'stand' up all the time.. You can look forward to, what feels like a midget river-dancing on your bollocks for the next four hours.

- Baby Passports are, as I suspected, a rip off.. I've said before that all babies look like Ross Kemp, but the idea that any baby is still going to be recognisable on their passport photo 5 years after their birth is insane.... Besides which the immigration people barely even glanced at it.. Charlie could have sailed through passport control with a drawing of Gregg Wallace on the back of a beer-mat (..and it wouldn't have cost us 50-odd quid).

- As for the heat.. It turns out taking a baby to a hot country is fine.. people in scorching climates have babies quite a lot, so it's a bit daft for us to think that if we take a baby to a sunny place they will suddenly burst into flames, like someone's opened the curtains on a vampire. It's just common sense, ..shade, avoiding midday and applying factor thrumpteen suncream.

(Just a note on suntan lotion.. let it dry off before picking them up or anything, otherwise its like wrestling a seal that's just left a massage parlour .. Charlie was in less danger from the sun than he was from me juggling him like a bar of soap).

- Even with all precautions there is a threat from the sun. To you. You will burn. You will be so preoccupied with keeping the sun off the baby.. You. will. burn. As I write this my face is a haunting red. (I think I applied suncream to myself once in the whole week). In fairness, I did mention to Lyns, before we went, that I wanted to come back with a bit of colour.. I just didn't particularly want that colour to be the same as an angry baboon's penis.

- Sandy beaches are a bad idea. A six month old baby puts everything in reaching distance in their mouth so, in hindsight, sitting them down to play on four acres of powdered glass is a bit dim.

- Unless you're willing to use gaffer tape and a stapler, it is easier to get a squid to wear a bum-bag than to get a baby to wear sunglasses and a hat.

Finally, what I would say to anyone considering taking their baby on holiday is this: ..Go.

For all its pissy little challenges, to spend time together, away from our newly destroyed home, was incredibly special..

I will always remember Charlie's face as he curled his toes in the sand for the first time. ..His delight at being pushed around a hotel pool on the back of an inflatable crocodile. ..And, his fascination as we sat on a bench, hand-feeding a sparrow some crisps, overlooking the deep blue of the mediterranean sea.

..Small price to pay that it was the same colour blue as my trampled bollocks after the flight home.

All in all, a ton of work, anxiety, and money, all totally worth it in the end.

One Internet creepster learned the hard way that nude pictures should never be distributed without permission, regardless of whether you're in them or not. The man, named Geoffrey (strike one), found nude photos of Florida-based rapper/Internet personality Kitty (formerly Kitty Pride) that had been leaked online by hackers.

Then, enticed by the illegally acquired naked pictures of this young woman, he took his sliminess up another step by finding her on Snapchat and asking her if she had any more. Then he sweetened the deal by sending her a picture of his penis. Unfortunately for him, he quickly learned that Kitty isn't someone to f*ck with. She posted their entire exchange on Twitter:

Kitty explained to her followers how he had sent her her own stolen pics:

After that, Kitty used her Internet detective skills to find Geoffrey's number. And his whole identity. Oops.

It's nice that she eventually took pity on him. Although he doesn't deserve much sympathy, it would have been pretty hypocritical of Kitty to give him a taste of his own medicine, no matter how satisfying. And from this update she shared later, it seems that her threat was effective.

If the threat of having that one picture released scared him into changing his whole perspective, it can only mean one thing: his dick really is weird AF.

To GoPro Award winners like Edward Muggridge, kayaking off a 60-foot waterfall in the Mexican jungle is a life-affirming experience. As opposed to a simply death-defying one. Watch at the peril of your own fear of heights.

The waterfall, called Tomata 2 and located on the Rio Jalacingo, is a beautiful beast of a cascade and pretty much the perfect setting to take your GoPro and record incredible stunts (or deaths).

GoPro writes that they give "cash awards for our favorites in each category," but it can't be nearly enough money to make it worth that harrowing drop.

If you crave more wild stunts where no one got hurt so it's cool, here's a man base jumping in a pink gorilla outfit. 

Brave. Because that outfit would be the most embarrassing thing to be found dead in after a base jumping accident.
