You’ve probably had that person in your life you’re really close with, a spouse, best friend, family member, that you start developing their habits and mannerisms simply because you spend so much time together. But this story is next level.
These four women who are best friends all managed to get pregnant at the exact same time. They ended up having the babies all within weeks of each other. If that wasn’t crazy enough, it then happened AGAIN with the second child!
Yup. All four of them got pregnant the second time together. This time around they gave birth a little more spread out, within a few months. But how cool is it that all 8 of their kids will grow up together being the same age? Those will be some fun birthday parties for years to come.

If you’ve spent your whole lived watching The Simpsons and wondering why they are yellow, I have found the answer. It’s pretty simple actually.
Simpsons creator Matt Groening has said a few times that he did it because he wanted the cartoon to be eye-catching. So when someone was flipping through channels (like people used to do back when The Simpsons first came out), he figured the bright yellow color of characters would catch people’s eyes and make them go back to watch the show or stay on the show as they’re flipping. And Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie have been yellow ever since.

I’m a sucker for these kinds of stories with families being surprised by their military loved ones.
This one happened at a high school in New Jersey. The entire school set up an elaborate plan with a Lost and Found Day where students could claim lost stuff. But it wasn’t real at all. Just a big setup in order to surprise one of their teachers who has a song in the military. He had been stationed in Iraq and she hadn’t seen him in over a year! You can imagine her surprise when she realized what was happening. Here is the video of how it all went down.

There are so many colors in the world, but can you actually own a color? Some companies do.
Places like UPS, T-Mobile, Target, Tiffany and Co., and that Tar Heal baby blue that University of North Carolina uses all have trademarks on those signature colors. So that Target red… you can’t get anywhere else. Just Target. It’s their color.
Now I want my own color!
