Apparently this happened in Russia, but we’re not sure. There’s a video of a little kid who looks about four or five, walking around a grocery store.
Then when he shakes one of his legs . . . a mysterious brown object falls out of his pant leg. And 30 seconds later, a guy walks down the aisle and steps in it.
The “Hollywood Reporter” has put out a list of Hollywood’s 100 Favorite TV Shows. To do it, they surveyed more than 2,800 “insiders” . . . including hundreds of actors, producers, and directors.
In the end, “Friends” came out on top. So, surveying thousands of people was a TOTAL a waste of time, because all they needed to do was ask someone’s sister-in-law . . . ANYONE’S sister-in-law . . . what her favorite show of all-time is.
Before you get upset, remember: This is NOT a list of the ‘best’ shows, it’s their ‘favorite’ shows. In other words, Hollywood types don’t always like the best quality stuff. Shocking, I know. Here’s the Top 20:
1. “Friends”, NBC, 1994-2004
2. “Breaking Bad”, AMC, 2008-2013
3. “The X-Files”, Fox, 1993-2002
4. “Game of Thrones”, HBO, 2011-Present . . . Clearly, popularity contests like this favor more recent shows, even though it supposedly covers 70 years of history.
5. “Seinfeld”, NBC, 1989-1998
6. “The Sopranos”, HBO, 1999-2007
7. “Saturday Night Live”, NBC, 1975-Present
8. “I Love Lucy”, CBS, 1951-1957
9. “Mad Men”, AMC, 2007-2015
10. “The Simpsons”, Fox, 1989-Present
11. “The West Wing”, NBC, 1999-2006
12. “Sex and the City”, HBO, 1998-2004
13. “M*A*S*H”, CBS, 1972-1983

And here are some surprising omissions that DIDN’T make the cut: “Fringe” (#101), “Dallas” (#120), “Miami Vice” (#126), “NYPD Blue” (#127), “Beverly Hills, 90210” (#136), “The Larry Sanders Show” (#143), “The Andy Griffith Show” (#145), “CSI” (#160), and “The Honeymooners” (#162).
“The Cosby Show” came in at #112. It’s kind of surprising people mentioned it at all, given, well . . . you know.
Most people either think their dog is a genius or a slobbering moron. And it looks like the people in that second group might be right.
According to a new study, dogs might be getting dumber and dumber . . . all because they’ve been hanging out with people too much.
Researchers at Oregon State University set up an experiment where dogs had two minutes to solve a puzzle. They put a sausage in a clear box, and the dogs had to grab a piece of rope attached to the lid to open it.
They tried it with 20 dogs, and only ONE of them managed to do it. Most of them didn’t even try, and just sat there waiting for a human to help them. But when they tried it with ten wolves, eight of them were able to do it.
The researchers think it’s because dogs have had humans helping them for so long, they’ve lost a lot of their problem-solving skills. But wolves still have to be able to solve problems like that in order to survive.
In general, you shouldn’t lie to your boss. But according to the author of a book called “Business Without the [B.S.]”, here are five situations where lying to your boss is actually a good idea.
1. When you’re protecting a co-worker. For example, maybe someone calls in sick, and you know it’s because they drank too much at a party the night before. It’s not your job to offer up that information to the boss.
And even if they ask, you’re better off saying you don’t know anything, because it’s safer to not get involved.
2. When you’re looking for a different job. Obviously, there’s no need to tell anyone about it, just like your boss wouldn’t tell you if they were planning to lay people off.
3. When they ask how they look. Like before a big meeting or something. Unless there’s something glaring, like a stain on their shirt, just say they look great. Chances are all they want is an ego boost.
4. When they tell a lame joke. Even if it’s the tenth time you’ve heard it, you have force a laugh. Especially if it’s in front of a client.
5. When they ask about anything personal you don’t want to talk about. Chances are they’re just trying to be friendly. But if you don’t want to talk about it, it’s perfectly fair to lie all you want.
Usually in surveys that rank the 50 states, Idaho finishes somewhere in the middle . . . because in general, people don’t have strong opinions on Idaho. not this time. Today, we all unite against Idaho.
A new nationwide survey asked people which state has the rudest drivers. And somehow, Idaho came in first. Why? The main reason is they drive too slowly.
Tennessee drivers came in at the 38th rudest drivers…. And Alabama hates Tennessee drivers the most.
The 10 states with the rudest drivers are: Idaho . . . New York . . . Wyoming . . . Massachusetts . . . Delaware . . . Vermont . . . New Jersey . . . Nevada . . . Utah . . . and Alaska.
The 10 states with the most polite drivers are: North Dakota . . . Maine . . . New Hampshire . . . Montana . . . Minnesota . . . Oregon . . . Wisconsin . . . Nebraska . . . Washington . . . and North Carolina.
The survey also did something we’ve never seen before: For every state, they figured out which other state gave their drivers the worst rankings. So we know which state hates every other state’s drivers the most.
In a lot of cases, it was a neighboring state . . . Georgia is most hated by Florida, New Jersey is most hated by New York, North Carolina and South Carolina hate each other.
But there are a few totally random ones. Vermont drivers are most hated by California . . . Alaska drivers are most hated by Arizona . . . and in the weirdest rivalry of all, Hawaii drivers are most hated by Kansas.
Sure, your unconditional love of bacon might give you heart disease . . . but it could also help you find actual love.
Oscar Mayer released a dating app yesterday. It’s called Sizzl, and it only matches you up with other people obsessed with bacon.
Obviously it’s a marketing ploy, but it IS an actual app. It matches you with people based on your bacon preferences, and a ton of people are already signed up.
When you build your profile, every question is about bacon. First it asks if you prefer pork or turkey bacon . . . which should actually be a question on EVERY dating site. Because if you say turkey, you’re un-datable.
It also asks if you like thick cut . . . smoked . . . maplewood . . . or low sodium bacon. Then you have to say whether you like it chewy, crispy, or burnt.
And the last question asks what you’d do if you were on a date, and there was one strip of bacon left . . . would you take it, let your date have it, or share it with them? Apparently they’re expecting people to go on a lot of breakfast dates.
You can download the app at FindBaconLove.com. So far it’s only available for iPhone users.
Here is the commercial for it… Pretty funny.
According to a list of ‘Facts You Don’t Know About Passing Gas,’ there are seven animals way more gassy than us: Termites, camels, zebra, sheep, cows, elephants, and dogs. Check out six other stats . . .
1. The average person releases gas 14 times per day . . . or 17 quadrillion times over the course of your life. And vegetarians do it more than the rest of us.
2. That’s about 16 ounces of gas each day . . . or two cans of Coke.
3. 99% of it is odorless. It’s just the 1% from sulfur bi-products you have to worry about . . . a.k.a., hydrogen sulfide.
4. Women do it as much as men. No matter how much it may seem different, women are just as gassy, and release the same amount.
5. It travels at 10 feet per second. Remember that the next time you try to crop-dust in some discreet away. Not gonna happen.
6. You do it even after you die. Dead bodies have been known to release gas that way for up to three hours after death.
We see a lot of studies that try to rank the happiest and least happy states in America, but this one’s pretty comprehensive . . .
WalletHub.com looked at 25 factors, including things like crime rates . . . how much sleep people get . . . how many hours they work . . . and how much time they spend outdoors.
And they found that the happiest state in America is UTAH . . . which also happens to be the state where people work the fewest HOURS per week.
The ten happiest states are Utah . . . Minnesota . . . Hawaii . . . Colorado . . . North Dakota . . . Nebraska . . . Washington . . . Iowa . . . Massachusetts . . . and Wyoming. So Massachusetts was the ONLY east coast state to make the top ten.
West Virginia came in last, just behind Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Tennessee.
A few more stats worth mentioning: People in South Dakota get the most sleep on average, and people in Kentucky get the least. And you’re the least likely to be depressed if you live in Hawaii . . . and most likely if you live in Oregon.
A 30-year-old woman from the Ukraine named Olga Liaschuk holds a world record for using her powerful thighs to crush WATERMELONS. And a morning show in England had her on last Thursday to show off her skills.
She didn’t set a new record or anything, but she did manage to crush three of them in about 20 seconds.
