“let Them Eat Twinkies” - by a VERY Disgruntled American...

Korean Cops Join Into The Crayon Pop-Bar Bar Bar Dance Craze (Hilarious Video)

By Susan Duclos An addictive K-pop ditty has gone viral in Korea, called the Crayon Pop’s “Bar Bar Bar, and has it's own dance to go along with the catchy tune. It hit the Korean singles charts back in late June at number 143, but has quickly risen into the top ten, beating A-list K-pop stars like B2ST, Brown Eyed Girls, and 2NE1. The YouTube videos have popped up at an amazing rate, but the funniest by far is from a group of Korean police officers, aptly naming themselves "Crayon Cop," who first posted on Facebook yesterday, where it quickly garnered 25,000 likes in its first 24 hours.

Mystery Builders: Halls Of The Dead, Older Than The Stonehenge, Older Than The Pyramids of Egypt

The remains of two large 6000-year-old halls, each buried within a prehistoric burial mound, have been discovered by archaeologists from The University of Manchester and Herefordshire Council -- in a UK first. The sensational finds on Dorstone Hill, near Peterchurch in Herefordshire, were thought to be constructed between 4000 and 3600 BC. Credit: University of Manchester Some of the burnt wood discovered at the site shows the character of the building's structure above ground level -- in another UK first.
