1. Prank Call Leads to Destruction of Circle K

Next time the head of security in your company calls you and tells you to trash the place, you might want to get a second opinion before "going to work" on that project.  A prank caller pulled this one over on two Circle K employees who did exactly what they were instructed to do just that and in less than 5 minutes they laid waste to their location.

 

 

 


 

2. The Science Behind Your Munchies

Scientists rolled up teenie-tiny little joints and tested this theory on rats.  Okay, so they didn't smoke tiny joints, they gave the mice a substance that mimicked the active ingredients in cannabis, THC.  They found that weed confuses the part of your brain that signals whether you're full or hungry and tells it the wrong message.  That's why you're still starving after cramming a full bag of Cheetos into your face hole.

 

 

 


 

 3. Paying Taxes With Plastic

Experts say don't do it.  If you do have to pay in to Uncle Sam this year and don't have the money up front, whatever you do, don't charge it.  In the end, you'll be extra with fees and interest.  You'd be better off setting up a payment plan directly with the IRS as their plans typically carry a much lower interest rate than the standard plastic option.
