‘What’s the best way for a child to sit?’ Now, if you’re a parent, you might well have asked yourself this question. And the answer may well have eluded you. After all, common sense and logic doesn’t really help you work out the answer, does it? But don’t worry, we’ve got the truth right here! In the video below, the best ways for kids to sit and the absolute ‘no-no’ of infant sitting is revealed. There are plenty of good ways for a young one to perch, but the ‘W Sitting’ technique? It’s to be avoided at all costs. It…
When Paddy & Nico walked onto the Britain’s Got Talent stage, the judges didn’t expect a great deal. In fact, because of the huge age gap between them, they all kind of sneered and laughed to themselves. Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and David Walliams all turned their nose up at Paddy. Being 80 years old means she can’t dance, surely…? Well, they couldn’t have been more wrong. Her and her younger dance partner Nico gave a quite marvelous salsa performance and it was enough to have all four BGT judges eating their words! Especially Simon who buzzes them…
Who knew that honey badgers were so darn clever, huh? Well, certainly not zookeeper Brian. A lion attack at his zoo had seen the need for the honey badgers to be kept strictly under control and monitored. They had to be caged in for their safety. But it turns out that honey badgers like to roam. And don’t dig being told what to do… But that shouldn’t matter, should it? Humans can outsmart badgers, surely? After all, how hard can it be to keep a few honey badgers enclosed? Well, harder than you might imagine, actually! As this BBC animal…
Bakersfield, California. Six year-old Alex Hovater decided to do something truly selfless… He gave up his Christmas presents to free up money for the homeless in his area. California has a terrible homelessness problem, after all. In the run-up to the festive period, little Alex had noticed and begun quizzing his mom. She told him they could help them if they didn’t buy each other gifts that year. And Alex thought it was a great idea… Alex’s mother Machelle Hovater says this about what he did: “He had a lot of questions. He wanted to know if that’s where he…
Not that long ago we told you all about a brave young girl called Safyre Terry who lost her family and suffered terrible burns in a house fire. Christmas was coming and she wanted just one thing from people: Christmas cards. That’s all. Just cards… And boy did she get them! And by the sackful too… Including one from her favorite pop star, Katy Perry. Katy not only sent brave Safyre a card, she also sent her a bumper gift set including a cool little hoodie with ears and and its own backpack attached, a DVD of her new Prismatic world tour, her…
The U.S. National Weather Service have got some very worrying, but very useful driving advice that you NEED to hear. The video you’re about to watch may seem like common sense, but what it advises against is something that tempts almost all drivers… Driving through large puddles in heavy rain. Did you know that it takes just twelve inches of flowing water to carry off a small motor vehicle? Seriously. For bigger cars it only takes 18 to 24 inches. A puddle just a foot deep can land you in serious trouble… What’s even more worrying is that more than half of the…
Somerset, England. A smart little three year-old girl saved her heavily-pregnant mother’s life after she fell down a flight of stairs and lost consciousness. Not only was it a danger to the mom, falls of this nature can lead to premature births and miscarriages, so what the girl did was vitally important. She coolly and calmly called the emergency services and clearly explained what had happened, gave her address and waited with her mom. She potentially saved her life. Little Emma Bazzard was on the phone telling the operator the situation for a full eleven minutes – at no point…
California. A huge Star Wars and Christmas fan has combined his two main loves and decided to come up with something that’s guaranteed to make any sci-fi or festive fan’s day… A Star Wars Christmas light show! Now, we’ve seen some cool light shows before here, but nothing as awesome as this. The Force is strong in this one… It’s the handiwork of YouTuber ‘TomBetGeorge’ and he says this about his brilliant George Lucas-inspired work: “A big shout out to the best neighbourhood ever (I’m actually using my neighbours’ lawn if you haven’t noticed). They are all wonderful people and I’m…
Greenville, Michigan. A young mother is doing some christmas grocery shopping when she feels a presence. It’s as though someone is watching her. Following her. She turns around and sees him. The man ‘stalking’ her. He looks mean. He’s wearing a biker get-up. But with a furry red and white Santa hat… Jessica Reway didn’t know what to say. It was Jerry “Bear” Cook of The Chosen Ones motorcycle club. But he didn’t want trouble, oh no. Far from it, in fact. Jerry wanted to help! Him and the rest of his motorcycle pals were in the Meijer store, handing out $50…
Being a UPS driver can be thankless task (especially if no one thanks you!). It’s just as hard work as being a regular postal worker – in fact, it’s often harder. But you don’t have the same customers every day, so you often don’t build up the same kind of relationship as other mail and parcel delivery guys. So we think it’s probably fair to say that not too many UPS guys expect much of a Christmas tip. If any tip at all. So when they get one? You can guess that they’ll be pretty pleased. And, well, you’d be…
