Mmmm… 'Murica!
Competitive eater Molly Schuyler broke a new record this weekend, eating 3 72-oz steaks in less than 20 minutes.
At this year's 72oz Showdown at the Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo, Texas, Schuyler was matched up against four teams of two, and she singlehandedly destroyed her competition while besting herself in the process.
The other teams included professional wrestlers and football players and they each had one hour to throw down as much as they could.
In total, Schuyler, who weighs just 124 pounds, ate 3 steaks, 3 backed potatoes, 3 shrimp cocktails, 3 side salads and 3 rolls.
Basically, as The Big Texan describes it, she consumed more than 13.5 pounds of food which is "the equivalent of a bowling ball or averaged sized three-month-old baby."

The major tenants of his platform? Legalizing marijuna, getting dogs banned from restaurants, keeping people with giant feet from taking up space on the sidewalk, and raising the minimum wage.
His only major concern seems to be the candidacy of Hillary Clinton ("women love her!").

Apparently the joke started when teens attempted to replicate the Kardashian sibling's large lips by putting a bottle cap over their mouths and sucking out the air. The only problem? Well, that has a tendency to keep your lips swollen for a long period of time, and in some cases can even lead to a loss of sensation entirely.
But when did that ever stop a good hashtag game?

Using an at-home tattoo kit (always a great idea), he tried to write "Riley" on his arm, but accidentally started writing a "P" instead of an "L." Later he tried to do right by writing the boy's nickname, "Sonny Boy" on his knuckles. That, of course, ended with "Sony Boy" instead. Whoops!

Janet Faal of the UK has suffered from agoraphobia (a fear of open spaces and the outside) for years. As a part of her recovery and rehabillitation, she ventured out of the house with a friend. While helping said friend reverse her vehicle out of a car park, Faal kicked away an obtrusive wooden pallet. What she didn't know was that it was covering an open manhole. It took nearly an hour for rescue crews to help her, at which point it was clear her fall bruised up her face and broke her foot.
Faal is concerned that the incident has set back her recovery time by "years," and she clearly has no intentions to go outside again any time soon.
