There’s a total solar eclipse coming up on August 21st and it’ll be seen coast to coast for the first time in close to 100 years. So hotels in the “path of totality” are filling up with people hoping to get the best view. But the very best view of the eclipse may be from the air… aboard an Alaska Airlines flight.

Humans domesticated dogs… but cats domesticated themselves. The results of this new study show that cats, unlike dogs, decided when THEY wanted to curl up in a lap… and it took thousands of years.
A friend of mine turned me onto this web series that I’m fascinated with… it’s called “The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows” and it defines these newly invented words for strangely powerful emotions. We’ve all felt those emotions that we just couldn’t describe. But now, maybe we can…
This is like the next level fidget toy! These ferrofluid displays look so cool and come in various sizes and bottle shapes… check ’em out here.
This is the coolest way ever to watch ‘Jaws’! (Or the scariest, depending on who you are.)

The TSA is now asking passengers to unpack books and food in their carry-on luggage for extra security screenings. How have they been doing things all along if the x-rays can’t see through books?!
A new pop up bar in Washington DC is helping to tide fans over until the new season of Game of Thrones starts. The Game of Thrones Pop-Up Bar (PUB) has G.O.T. everything- from the drinks to the decor.
Will Ferrell kept things fairly vague when Seth Myers asked him about Mariah Carey’s cameo in his new film, The House. But after his interview, one of Will’s co-stars, Cedric Yarbrough, opened upon facebook and dropped the whole story of what went down. Mariah basically ruined an entire day of filming with her diva ways and she got cut from the final film.
