A study found that despite what most people say about seeking a wider circle of friendship (say, in a large college setting, where there are a lot of different types of people available), they typically befriend only those most similar to themselves. Researchers found that students at a huge state school tended to spend time with people who were much more similar to them than students at the small, rural colleges.
According to a study, teenagers who eat dinner with their families have better mental health than those who don’t.

The
Pillow Fighting Championship crowned its first ever champions
Saturday night in Florida, as the children’s pastime was turned
into a professional combat sport. The pay-per-view event saw 16 men
and 8 women, most experienced in MMA or boxing, but this time
competing using a specialized pillow, advance through a bracket style
competition. On the women’s side it was Brazilian Istela Nunes who
emerged as champion, and the men’s final saw American Hauley
Tillman defeat countryman Marcus Brimage. Each winner earned a title
belt and $5,000.

Sources say he was tooling around on the bike in London when he turned a sharp corner . . . or at least tried to. The road was wet and the tires went out from under him and he crashed to the ground. According to reports, Cowell broke his left arm and badly bruised his cheek, but is “absolutely fine”, and now recovering at home. This isn’t the first time Cowell has been hospitalized following an accident on an electric bicycle.

Cliff Pirtle that would require all acting and film production personnel where firearms are present to complete a safety course offered by the New Mexico Game and Fish Department that is designed primarily for hunters.

KIDS’
ALTERNATIVE NAMES FOR THINGS
Watching kids learn about the
world is nothing short of entertaining. Like when they don’t have
the correct term for something and they just make up their own
alternative. People shared the alternative names kids use for things.
• My 4-year-old calls a box of tissues a “bless you box”
• We still use the term ‘rainbrella’ in our house even though said son is now in his 30s.
• Last night my 4-year-old said a prayer for all the people in the world including “Africa, Asia and Syrup.”
• My 4-year-old just called skinny dipping “nakedy dipping”
• When my guy was 3 he named coffee grounds “bean dirt”
• My 4-year-old called trampolines jumpolines.
• My kid says what she misses most about going to movies is getting snacks from the “confession” stand.
•
My
child has been carrying a small notebook around all day. She opens
it, writes small scribbles and quickly closes it back up. She’s
calling it her “secret diarrhea”.
