Spot and Avoid Facebook Scams "There's a sucker born every minute." That quotation, widely attributed to P.T. Barnum, originally referred to deceptive carnival sideshow attractions, but it's just as relevant to online scams--in particular, Facebook scams--today. None of the common Facebook frauds--the "Facebook dislike button," the "stalker tracker" (which purports to tell you who's visiting your profile), and "watch this video" tricks, for instance--are new, says Chris Boyd, senior threat researcher for UK-based GFI Software.

Adventures in Depression - StumbleUpon My mom baked the most fantastic cake for my grandfather's 73rd birthday party. The cake was slathered in impossibly thick frosting and topped with an assortment of delightful creatures which my mom crafted out of mini-marshmallows and toothpicks. To a four-year-old child, it was a thing of wonder - half toy, half cake and all glorious possibility.

Adventures in Depression - StumbleUpon Some people have a legitimate reason to feel depressed, but not me. I just woke up one day feeling sad and helpless for absolutely no reason. It's disappointing to feel sad for no reason. Sadness can be almost pleasantly indulgent when you have a way to justify it - you can listen to sad music and imagine yourself as the protagonist in a dramatic movie.

Turtles High-Five Under Water One of these turtles must have done something awesome, since nothing else could have warranted such an enthusiastic high-five. Or maybe they're just congratulating themselves for helping Marlin find Nemo. Whatever the case, around 12 seconds into this YouTube video there's something that looks strikingly similar to the human motion commonly seen following successful keg stands. These turtles aren't the only animals to recently display human-like actions. Recently, Kanzi the fun-loving male bonobo has learned how to cook his own food. There's also Bailey, the buffalo who cruises around his Canada town in a car and likes to hit the dance floor.

Crow caught on video snowboarding down roof The snow in eastern Canada may have caused a headache for commuters, but some, including one crow in Russia, are having fun with the white stuff. It is unclear exactly what the bird is doing, but it appears to be 'shredding the gnar' using a disc-shaped object that looks like the lid of a jar as a snowboard. The crow slides down one side of the roof while cautiously flapping its wings especially as it picks up speed. Then it picks up the disc in its beak and flies back to the apex of the roof for more fun. For its second run, it tries to descend a rather bare part of the roof, but that doesn't work so the bird flies back to the top on the hunt for more powder.

Rare Sea Creature Appears on Seattle Woman's Dock A Seattle resident recently got a big surprise when she discovered a strange-looking furry visitor on her property. "She woke up and it was lying on her dock, hanging out and sleeping — just chilling," said Matthew Cleland, district supervisor in western Washington for the USDA's Wildlife Services, and the recipient of a photo of the bizarre intruder. "I thought, 'That's an interesting-looking creature,'" Cleland told OurAmazingPlanet. "I had no idea what it was." Toilet training cat was a crappy idea I blame Robert DeNiro. His character in the comedy Meet the Parents is extremely fond of a cat named Jinx that he's trained to use the toilet. What a good idea, I thought – no litter box smell and no kitty litter going to the landfill. How hard could it be? Thousands of pet owners have apparently had the same idea: The New York creator of the toilet-training "CitiKitty" kit has sold more than 25,000 since 2005.
