Man Has More Fun on Treadmill Than You Ever Dreamed Possible
Wow. We've never had this much fun on a treadmill. Granted, we've never actually been on a treadmill because we've got really bad knees and asthma, but still ... this looks like a lot more fun than the elliptical machine too.

21 Examples of Starbucks Employees Completely Massacring Someone’s Name
If there's one thing we love about Starbucks, it's that they always give us a place to go to the bathroom. Aside from that, it's also always a good time when they mix up a customer's name. When a Hong Kong Starbucks employee thought a woman named Virginia was actually named Vagina, we laughed.
We figured why not keep the laughs coming and found some more Starbucks name fails. We also included what

Listen, we get it. Of all people, we get it. Sometimes you let an errant comma slip. Maybe you don't notice that something is a sentence fragment because you're riding the waves of hangover nausea. We understand that sometimes being an editor is rough, but how the how do you wind up with a headline that looks like it says "Rapefruit Good for every meal"?
12 People Who Did an Excellent Job of Quitting
We saw this amazing resignation cake and got inspired. Not to quit our jobs, but to admire the ways others have in the past. Our most "creative" quit was telling the owner of a Chinese buffet over the phone that they couldn't yell at us anymore, because we quit so there. Compared to these, that just isn't that impressive.

Theater Employee Finds Novel Way to Dispose of Old Milk Duds
Having once worked in a theater, we can honestly say that this video is not the least bit surprising. An employee was instructed by his boss to throw away an old box of Milk Duds. Since his boss didn't tell him specifically the mode by which to do this, he took the liberty of turning the entire snack bar into a domino rally...
Melting Chocolate Bunnies Is the Best Way to Celebrate Easter

Baby Bandit Picks Locks, Steals Sister’s Toys
We would say this impressive, but it seems more appropriate to say this kid is the uber-little brother. Breaking into his sister's room? Check. Stealing her stuff? Check. Doing it in a manner that makes it hard to prove it was him? Check.
