This is a pretty solid prank gift to give someone. Because it seems so nice on the surface . . . but it’s really cruel underneath.

There’s a new teddy bear that plays “Happy Birthday” . . . but never stops. There’s literally no way to get the music to turn off unless you DESTROY the bear.

The guy who created it made the news in April with a greeting card that plays a birthday song until you destroy it. But the official “Happy Birthday” song was still protected by copyright law back then, so it was just a made-up song.

The bear is a better prank, because it sings the real Happy Birthday song. Plus, busting up a greeting card isn’t quite as complicated or potentially traumatic for someone as murdering a teddy bear.

It’s only on Kickstarter for now, but if they raise $7,500 they’ll go into production and ship next year.

You can get in on the early prices of $10 or $15 for a bear if you pledge soon. Just Google “annoying teddy bear” to find the link.

You can listen to the bear for three hours by watching “Testing annoying teddy bear” on YouTube.

I like this study because it’s not about the most popular Halloween costume in each state . . . it’s about each state’s most unusual costume.

The real estate blog Estately.com analyzed Google searches for the past 11 years to figure out what Halloween costume each state looks up more than anyone else. Here are five highlights:

1. People in California search for “pregnant nun” costumes the most.

2. People in Wisconsin are the most likely to want to dress up as beer.

3. People in Illinois make the most searches for slutty pumpkin costumes.

4. People in New Jersey search for Snooki costumes more than anyone else Keep in mind, the data goes back 11 years, so that covers the whole “Jersey Shore” era. Plus women there already own everything they need for the costume. Hi-YO!

5. And people in South Dakota search for the phrase “costume ideas” more than anyone else.

According to scientists at Northwestern University in Illinois, you have the ability to see into the future. You just need to try harder.

–Julia Mossbridge is a neuroscientist at Northwestern. She’s been reviewing more than three decades of studies and evidence on whether people have a sixth sense . . . or at least a little bit of ability to have premonitions. AND WE DO.

–Mossbridge says you can actually see TWO to TEN SECONDS into the future . . . you just have to CONCENTRATE on the messages your body is sending you.

–For example, let’s say you’re playing solitaire at work. You click off the game just a second before your boss walks around the corner. How did you know to do that?

–In studies, Mossbridge says people’s heart rate and the electrical measurements of their skin actually change in anticipation of something BAD. Like, for instance, your boss catching you.

–Your perceptions are heightened because of your fear. That heightens your senses and actually DOES give you a brief moment of being able to SENSE THE FUTURE. Mossbridge says the odds of that being random chance are 400 BILLION TO ONE.

I think we know what happened to those t-shirts you can’t find, bro. You know . . . the ones that said “FBI: Female Body Inspector.”

According to a new survey, 34% of women admit they’ve secretly thrown out some of their boyfriend or husband’s clothes.

There are two main reasons. One, to get rid of them so he’d stop wearing them. And two, to free up more closet space for themselves.

Check out four other things they found . . .

1. When couples share a closet, women take up the majority of it. Shocker, I know.

2. 20% of couples have fought over closet space.

3. 5% are in a fight about it right now.

4. And one-third of women have spread their clothes into the other closets in the house.

A new survey asked grandparents to name things that aren’t as good as they used to be . . . and some things that are actually better today.

The top 10 things that have gone downhill are: Manners . . . crime . . . the country overall . . . a sense of community . . . music . . . sports . . . banking . . . transportation . . . the weather . . . and movies.

The top 10 things that have improved are: Computers . . . cars . . . food . . . shopping . . . healthcare . . . quality of life . . . TV . . . the radio (you’re welcome) . . . transportation . . . and banking.

Yes, transportation and banking made both lists. Give them a break. They’re old.

The survey also asked them what the best inventions in modern life are. The top 10 are email . . . digital photography . . . the Internet . . . Google . . . cheap travel . . . HD TV . . . DVDs . . . remote controls . . . GPS . . . and streaming video services.

Lisa and Salae Maxwell appeared on ‘Celebrirty Name Game’  5:30 on WUXP this afternoon.

I got to interview them about the show:

Here is a video clip from the show featuring Lisa and Salae.

I’m pretty sure you can’t lose weight gorging on cake and cookies all day long. But it sure would be cool if this was true . . .

40-year-old Deborah Schipper of Sydney, Australia just published a book about a new diet she invented called the ‘Cake Cleanse.’ The big hook is that you get to eat three Desserts a day . . . While you lose weight.

It’s because the desserts are made with strategically healthier recipes. That means you’ll be baking cakes and cookies with ingredients like almond milk, coconut flour, and Greek yogurt.

Deborah says she came up with the diet since she couldn’t lose weight. Quote, “because I love sweets and I knew I could never give them up.”

The Cake Cleanse is a four-week program, and it’s pretty expensive. The nutrition plan and the recipe e-books cost a total of $55.

But if you want to lose weight and you really believe it’s possible to make that happen eating three desserts a day, you can buy it at CakeCleanse.com.

Edgy Halloween costumes are trickier than they used to be. Because if you offend someone, you’ll probably be branded as a pariah on social media and lose your job.

So the costume companies are trying to help . . . by selling a bunch of TERRIBLE “edgy” costumes. Here are three of the worst offenders ( that we felt comfortable showing ). . .

1.  Sexy Pizza Rat.  Can you dress up as a viral video and still look hot?  This costume says . . . well, you can try.  It’s basically a sexy mouse costume with two pieces of pizza sewn onto the hips.  For the small price of ninety American dollars.

2.  Poop Emoji Mask.  You’ve probably sent someone the poop emoji . . . why not wear it on your head?  At least it’s only $28.

3.  Sexy Donald Trump.  Basically a terrible wig, a red hat that says “make America great,” a blue blazer, white shirt, red tie, and short blue shorts.  It costs $70.

Three-year-old Jack is being accused by his father of eating a cupcake, which he denies. Still, his father, for some reason, doesn’t believe it.

Well… This looks pretty easy! And a lot less messy!
