Picture this: a mirror attached to the lid of your laptop folds out to ...

In my house, dogs are treated as humans. I feed my dog dried out pieces of assorted meat parts and clean up my dog’s feces just like I do for everyone else in my family. So why don’t they get a spot at the human table? Now they can. The High Chair for Pets allows man’s best friend to be ...

Meg Griffin’s doppelganger has been discovered, and she apparently resides in some random bank, or post office, or some sort of venue featuring tiny safes. But who care’s about the safes!
