What Were Americans Really Doing on Election Day?
After being hit with tons of political memes and autotuned debates, it seems like we'd been waiting forever for Election Day to arrive. There's only so much hilarity we can take, people! But it's already passed us by, and in the case you're just now emerging from a deep slumber, Obama beat out Romney. Although, word has it Morris the Cat fell short by like, 100 votes. Disappointing.

Get a Facebook ‘Like’ and Tech-Savvy Vest Hugs You
It was recently revealed that Facebook now has one billion users -- that's 15% of the world’s population. That’s a pretty impressive achievement for Mr. Zuckerburg, if you ask us. There’s no denying the top-notch social network has become integrated into our daily lives, and now there's a way to be physically rewarded by the site -- ‘Like-A-Hug.'
Halloween Candies That Need to Come Back
It’s that time of year again when we apologize to our pancreas and then eat until we're sick -- Halloween candy season! Everywhere we turn, we’re bombarded with chocolate and gummies and sour things and those peanut butter taffies in the wax paper wrapping that no one ever eats. Somehow those things have survived the ages but our favorites have gone by the wayside. It’s bittersweet heaven on earth
‘The Daily Show’ Workplace Goes to the Dogs
There’s no reason to believe Jon Stewart is anything but really, really cool. He’s a pro at the alphabet game, after all! Although this might be difficult to comprehend, we’ve discovered the funny guy has reached an entirely new level of awesome. And it involves dogs.
Amusement Park Visitors Get Stranded for Hours
What’s not to love about a California amusement park called Knott’s Berry Farms? With such a magical-sounding name, we can’t imagine things could ever go awry. But then again, we’re sucked in by almost anything even remotely charming.
