Ghostly Beauty Shop Prank Will Make You Afraid of Mirrors
It seems certain that last year stood as the Year of the Prank.

Louis CK Won’t Take A Picture With You
If you happen to see comedian Louis CK meandering about, don't ask the guy for a picture, because he won't do it. But that doesn't mean he's a bad guy; he just feels uncomfortable. "It doesn't feel normal," he says.
The Adorable “War Cry” of the Namaqua Rain Frog
Supposedly this is the war cry of the Namaqua Rain Frog, but honestly, it's not very intimidating. It seems to be more of a "cry for help" cry, the kind you make when things are about to turn ugly. Then again, we don't know how anything could be as ugly as this frog...
