Everyone steals napkins from fast food places, nothing wrong with that, but if you take a bunch of napkins and do THIS with them, that’s all I need to know about you!  (7:03)

Greg and Natalie recently moved into a new home and she would like to send out a “We Moved” announcement, but she would like to add a link to a registry where people can buy them gifts for their new home.

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Couple Recreates Wedding Photos On 50th Anniversary

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Couple Recreates Wedding Photos On 50th Anniversary

What a great idea. This couple in Iowa decided to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary in a really fun way. By retaking their wedding photos in the same church they were married in back in 1971.

The bride even wore her same wedding dress from that day. And the groom found a similar looking suit. They posed the same way and everything. This is definitely an idea I might have to steal for when my wife and I get to our 50th. 47 years to go!

See all the photos here.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Are babies really born without kneecaps?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Are babies really born without kneecaps?

Ever since I became a father two years ago I’ve heard this from people. That babies don’t have kneecaps when they are born.

This is only half true it turns out. Babies do technically have kneecaps when they are born, the knees just haven’t hardened yet. They actually remain as soft cartilage during childhood until they grow up and it turns into bone.
