FUNNIEST Halloween movies of all time!


From Bustle.com:

 

If you think that Halloween isn't for laughing, and rather only for screaming, then you've got it all wrong. Yes, horror movies and thrillers and suspense are an awesome way to embrace the vibe of the season, and I have scared myself silly and screamed myself hoarse in many a terrifying haunted house in my day. But trust me, you can also get in the spooky spirit by laughing your butt off, too. There really are so many different types of funny Halloween movies. You've got the sweet and kid-friendly, the brutal satire, the campy and outrageous, the subtle and dry, and the flat-out hilarious.

Halloween itself, with all the different types of paranormal creatures and otherworldly adventures, is kind of perfect for comedy. After all, anything can happen during this season. So I have put together a compendium of many of these fantastic, funny (and yes, sometimes a little freaky) Halloween movies for you to watch if you want a break from the nonstop gore of a slasher movie marathon. Instead, consider a marathon of the 17 funniest Halloween movies, listed below.

Pressing the door close button in an elevator does NOTHING?!


From NYTimes.com

 

Pressing the door-close button on an elevator might make you feel better, but it will do nothing to hasten your trip.

Karen W. Penafiel, executive director of National Elevator Industry Inc., a trade group, said the close-door feature faded into obsolescence a few years after the enactment of the Americans With Disabilities Act in 1990.

The legislation required that elevator doors remain open long enough for anyone who uses crutches, a cane or wheelchair to get on board, Ms. Penafiel said in an interview on Tuesday. “The riding public would not be able to make those doors close any faster,” she said.

Casselberry man falls out of truck and runs himself over


From MiamiHerald.com

 

On his way home from a strip club, a Florida man fell out of his truck, ran himself over and then ran off, troopers say.

The Orlando Sentinel reported the 28-year-old Casselberry man left Dancers Royale strip club around 2 a.m. Tuesday. Less than a block away, the Florida Highway Patrol said he fell out of his 2016 Ford pickup and promptly ran over his own leg.

The man was down, but his truck kept going, rolling into a nearby house and injuring a 58-year-old woman inside, the Sentinel reported.

Are you single and miserable? Use the new app Date Miserable People!


From AZFamily.com

 

PHOENIX (KPHO/KTVK) -

You've probably heard the expression "misery loves company." And if that holds true, a new dating app should be very successful!

The app 'Date Miserable People' launched right here in Phoenix this week.

It's the brainchild of Shaun Price. He says he created the site so people could engage in online dating while keeping it real and honest without feeling intimidated.

"D.M.P is an online platform that allows people to engage in online dating honestly and within the realities of their daily lives," Price said.

Price said he personally has been through the trials and tribulations of all the online dating websites and has experienced the "intimidation of feeling inadequate for the majority of people that have profiles posted on these sites."

The idea of D.M.P., according to Price, is to give users with "not-so-perfect lives" a place to be comfortable sharing their lifestyles, interests and concerns without feeling inadequate.

Woman sues KFC for false advertising


From NYPost.com:

 

A Hudson Valley woman is finger lickin’ mad at Kentucky Fried Chicken, claiming its understuffed buckets are for the birds.

Anna Wurtzburger, of Hopewell Junction, says she bought a $20 bucket of chicken from KFC over the summer and was disappointed to find it looked much different than what’s in the chain’s ads.

“I came home and said, ‘Where’s the chicken?’ I thought I was going to have a couple of meals,” she told The Post.

–– ADVERTISEMENT ––

“They say it feeds the whole family … They’re showing a bucket that’s overflowing with chicken,” the 64-year-old widow griped. “You get half a bucket! That’s false advertising, and it doesn’t feed the whole family. They’re small pieces!”

Wurtzburger rang up the fast-food giant’s Georgia headquarters to complain, and was told the chicken was portrayed prominently on the commercial “so that the public could see the chicken.”

“If you want the public to look at your chicken, put it in a dish,” she fumed. “It’s a lot of BS. … I expect to get what you’re telling me.”

The best (and weirdest) sick day excuses for tomorrow


From CareerBuilder.com

 

CHICAGO and ATLANTA, Oct. 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- While calling in sick, when you are feeling just fine, is not a new phenomenon in the office, slightly less workers say they have done it over the last 12 months, according to a new CareerBuilder survey. Slightly more than a third of workers (35 percent) said they have called in to work sick when they were feeling just fine, down from 38 percent last year.

More than 3,100 full-time workers and more than 2,500 full-time hiring and human resource managers (of which 2,379 are in the private sector) across industries participated in the nationwide survey, conducted online by Harris Poll on behalf of CareerBuilder from August 11 to September 7, 2016.

When asked why they called in sick when they were feeling well, 28 percent said they just didn't feel like going in to work and 27 percent took the day off to attend a doctor's appointment. Another 24 percent said they needed to just relax and 18 percent needed to catch up on sleep. Meanwhile, 11 percent took the day off to run personal errands.

Ladies - do you get road rage more than guys? Study says...


From DailyMail.co.uk
 

A new study suggests that road rage affects women more than men, and that females are far more likely to lose their cool behind the wheel. 

The researchers suggest that women have an instinctive 'early warning system' which dates back to our early female ancestors who had a sense of danger for threats. 

But this finding contradicts previous studies, which shows that men are predominantly affected by road rage.

Crawling is the hot new exercise?!


From Uproxx.com

 

Here’s the deal: There’s no denying that crawling looks easy — and as anyone who’s ever been too drunk to walk can tell you, it can also feel easier than having to lug yourself up and amble — but it’s actually much more involved than you’d think. And there’s a good reason that Chiropractor Justin Klein, who’s trying to turn crawling into a movement, is referring to it as the “new plank.”

Ever want to know which side of the Oreo the cream will end up on?


From Gizmodo.com

 

The game of twisting an Oreo and seeing which wafer the cream is on has been used to make decisions, random predictions and resolve disagreements for decades. Now, a group of graduate students from Princeton claim to have cracked the code for which cookie the cream will end up on so that you can be a dirty cheater.

 

John Cannarella, Dan Quinn and Joshua Spechler were studying together at Princeton’s mechanical and aerospace engineering program in 2014, when they decided to solve the mystery of the Oreo twist. Quinn, who is currently a postdoc at Stanford University, tells Quartz, “The Oreo was our generation’s wishbone.”

Fastest ways to clear your nose are...


From MensHealth.com

 

When you’re so congested your face feels like a 16-pound bowling ball, your first line of defense is obvious: a decongestant. 

Just make sure you choose the right one. Some “decongestants” actually dry your mucus instead of drain it out, says Lisa DeStefano, D.O., an associate professor at the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine.
 
This makes your secretions thicker and tougher to eliminate. And all that dried-up crud that sticks around can grow bacteria and cause a nasty sinus infection.

 

“You go from a pond to a cesspool,” says Dr. DeStefano.

Almost half of all men SHAVE THEIR LEGS? WTH?


From Independent.co.uk:

 

Almost half of men admit to trimming or shaving their leg hair - an eyebrow raising admission, even for a generation of spornosexual manscapers.  Male hair trimming that rarely concerns body hair south of the border, unless you’re a professional swimmer or cyclist - but these days average Joes everywhere are taking razors to their hairy pins. 

Surveying their Facebook followers, Men’s Health found that while the majority of men are not completely shaving their legs, a surprising 15 per cent are, while a further 33 per cent admitted: “I don’t shave clean, but I do use a trimmer to cut it down”. That’s nearly half of the men polled that are tackling their leg hair in some way or form - but why?

No wifi? Just call 911! SMH


From HeraldOnline.com:

 

A woman called 911 five times because the person with whom she was staying wouldn’t allow her to use the Wi-Fi, according to the York County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies on Saturday responded to a home on Hickory Grove Road in Sharon after the suspect called 911 for a fifth time “saying that she was in fear for her life because she didn’t have access to Wi-Fi,” according to a sheriff’s report.

The 49-year-old woman, who is from Houston, told deputies she had been in South Carolina for three weeks and wasn’t allowed to use the home’s Wi-Fi or phone because she ran up the bill calling people in Texas and Indiana.

The owner of the home where the suspect was staying told deputies he allowed her to stay there if she cleaned the home. After three weeks, the homeowner said, the suspect had run up a large phone bill with the long-distance calls.R

Halloween costumes guys should never wear


From Huff Post:

 

Sometimes Halloween brings out the worst in people. Like the people who still insist on wearing blackface and culturally appropriative costumes in 2016. Or the people who thought “Tranny Granny” was a good idea. 

For men, there’s even an entire sub-genre of costume that is just turning yourself into a terrible, disgusting sex joke. (More than they already are, JK! It’s been a long week.)

Below, 20 of the grossest costumes for dudes that just make us want to burn it all down.

How to avoid a bad wedding proposal


From AllSpeechesGreatandSmall.com:

 

It’s the one thing that the women all over the world have absolutely no control over, and left up to their own devices and using all their skill, expertise and planning, it’s the one thing that men the world over manage to get spectacularly wrong. With the internet fuelling their unlimited imagination and excitement, it’s little wonder that potential grooms like to conjure up proposals so choreographed and intricate that heart failure is by far the most likely outcome.

From the research we’ve pulled together the facts are stark: men are too ambitious and indulgent when it comes to proposing. Why pop the question somewhere quiet, meaningful and subtle when you could do it in the middle of one of the world’s busiest cities, coordinate it with a 21 gun salute and then waterski to lunch?

The problem seems to be that men mistake romance for bling, and think that by throwing money at the situation and giving it as many working parts as possible, they will create the most significant proposal in history. This survey gives you the headlines as to what those plans look like, and we’ve added a few observations as to how to avoid those disasters in the future.

A survey of 10,000 people showed that more than three-quarters of Britons think they are good in bed.

From the advice of sexperts and observations from the general public, there are a number of things that stand out:

You are empathetic

Someone who pays attention to someone else's feelings outside the bedroom are likely to do exactly the same inside it.

Wow, this lady went WAY above and beyond to protect her Toyota


From ABCNews.go.com:

 

As Hurricane Matthew approached Florida’s coast, bringing with it dangerous winds and flooding, one couple in Miami took matters into their own hands when it came to protecting their car: They put it in their living room.

Adriana and her fiancé, Gary, were bracing for the worst on Thursday, as Miami-Dade County canceled school for the rest of the week and officials urged residents to evacuate. Adriana, a 55-year-old widow who lives in a condo in Miami, planned to ride out the storm with Gary, also a widower, and his teenage daughter in his house further south in the city.

But Adriana knew there wouldn’t be room for her Toyota Venza in Gary’s one-car garage that already housed his vehicle. Worried about leaving Adriana’s practically brand new silver sedan outside in the potentially dangerous weather, Gary came up with a rather wild idea.

“He wanted to put my car in a safe place,” said Adriana, who declined to give her last name for privacy reasons.

That safe place was in Gary’s living room.

The most expensive travel destination in America is...


Nashville?!

 

From CheapHotels.com:

 

Nashville has just earned the distinction of being the costliest U.S. city in which to stay overnight this autumn. This determination is the result of a recent survey conducted by CheapHotels.org.

In coming up with the rankings, the survey looked at the 30 cities in the USA with the highest populations. It specifically used their hotel rates during the current month of October as the basis of comparison. October was chosen for comparative purposes since it is the month during which the majority of U.S. cities reach their highest average hotel rates.

Tennessee’s capital of Nashville came in at an average nightly price tag of $261 for its most affordable room. That figure puts it at the top of the rankings. It must be pointed out that the survey excluded hotels with less than a 3-star rating and those lacking a central location within each destination.
