Vinegar, it’s not just for salad dressing.

Turns out the acetic acid in vinegar makes it great for cleaning all over the house. Yes, it smells, but the odor vanishes quickly. That’s a lot more than you can say for certain bathroom products. If you were so inclined, you could make your sink smell like lemon, your toilet smell like apricots and the air smell like vanilla. Seriously, who thought it was a good idea to make a bathroom smell like a freshly-baked cake?

Gas prices are climbing so high that many Americans are scaling back on the time-honored tradition of the Memorial Day road trip.

Kids, take note. If things are getting this bad, now might be a good time to ask for a pony. If you get to work building a wagon for the pony to pull, you’ll probably help your case.

Nothing will keep him from getting the shot. A Utah photographer had the misfortune to be speared through the leg by a javelin. He admits he was where he shouldn’t have been. It was an oversight. One he won’t make again. A giant piece of metal in the leg tends to teach a lasting lesson.

Oh, and for the record, he did get a shot of the injury. His editor wouldn’t accept any less.
