We’re not sure why everyone is getting worked up by a mistake this company made while publishing Canadian author Steven Erikson’s book. Apparently, a few pages of it belong to another Steven—or, Stephen. Specifically, it’s from horror master Stephen King.

A freshly squeezed orange juice could either be the start of a bright day or the beginning of a rise in blood sugar (thanks to all the fructose).

This Teddy the Bear took the whole “dieting” thing a little too seriously. One minute he’s a cute and cuddly stuffed animal. The next, he’s a bear with a head and legs but with no body between. We can’t recommend the Teddy Bear Diet because there are obviously dire drawbacks.
