These headlines aren't quite at Florida Man levels of insane, but they certainly are up there. We just want to know who allowed these things to be put into print.

Sometimes smart people do very stupid things, and that's okay because we can't all be geniuses in our off time. Everyone's injured themselves in moronic ways, such as sneezing and hitting your head against the sink and ending up with a baseball-sized goose egg on your forehead. True story, sadly.

Why is it always the "mommy" types who seem like the most entitled, rude people? Being a mom doesn't automatically mean you get handed things in life for free. Granted, who knows whether this lady is actually a single mom like she claims.

Twitter user Oscarewilde proved she's an evil genius when she decided to lend out an absurdly large pencil she received as a gift. The result of lending the thing out is often quite awkward, as you'd imagine. You gotta find some use for a ridiculous gag gift like that after all, right?
We have absolutely no problem with anyone's dietary choices, but sometimes passions can cause people to act like a-holes. We're pretty sure most vegans absolutely would not have a problem with a non-vegan enjoying tofu, because honestly why would they?

There's a stereotype that men are extremely clueless when it comes to flirting. Obviously this isn't always true, and often times women are just as clueless (guilty as charged), but the guy in this particular story is certainly not helping that stereotype!
Honestly, we think he should've known that something was up as soon as she mentioned that she needed help with her bed of all things!
What do you think of when you hear the name "Cleopatra"? Most of us probably think of her as being a wily temptress with a bit of a man-eating habit, but according to this Twitter thread, there was even more crazy sh*t going on in the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt!
