Apparently actor Nicholas Hoult impersonated Stewie Griffin during his X-Men audition. He was asked to do an impersonation in an American accent and Stewie just came to mind. He says he watched the show frequently as a teen and thought he could pull it off.
Ever wanted a red and black snail the size of your hand as a pet? It turns out that a lot of people want this Malaysian fire snail as one, which is why so many are captured and sold as exotic pets each year. Beware, these "Dracula" snails don't do well in captivity, as they only thrive in their natural environment.
Have you heard that the ozone hole over the Arctic has closed up? It's definitely a reason to celebrate during times when we often don't feel as if there's much joy to go around. It was the largest hole to have opened up, but it closed just as fast as it appeared, leaving scientists to wonder just what's going on.
Father's Day is rapidly approaching, and what better way is there to celebrate your father figure than to send him something that you know they will truly love? Whether it's fishing gear, something silly, something to wear or something sentimental, it's bound to bring a smile to their face.
When you have a sweet tooth and want a quick fix, sometimes you just want to mix up the fastest bite or two of dessert to get you through your craving. They say a craving only lasts for moment and if you can get past it, you don't need what you thought you did, but sometimes it really just won't go away, will it?
For some reason, a couple of punks decided to throw frogs at someone they didn't even know in Boise, Idaho. The police are investigating these young men, and they aren't sure whether or not the frogs were alive when it happened. I sure hope they were already dead, but I honestly doubt it very much. What is wrong with people?
Many are joking that once the shelter at home orders are lifted, people won't want to wear bras anymore. In all honesty, who likes wearing them to begin with? If you hate your bra and you can get by without wearing it, don't wear it, I say. I often wear a tank top under my shirt instead.
A biotech company from British Columbia may have a new solution for patients who require dialysis. This could be just in time, as Covid-19 is causing kidney damage to many of the survivors of the disease. That, coupled with the fact that 37 million people already have kidney disease, means that we're in need of help more than ever.
Dolphins are highly social creatures, so it's no wonder if they miss their human friends who are home during quarantine. In Tin Can Bay, Australia, the dolphins are used to lining up to get fed by tourists who come to see them, and those tourists just aren't there anymore.

Ok, so many of us aren't having fun at home, but that can change when you find ways to connect and have fun other than watching movies all day (which, by the way, is also a good time for many). Did you know lots of people are listening to concerts, playing BINGO or trivia games and otherwise having a great time all online?
Did you know that you don't have to be an artist to play Pictionary? There is a Pictionary card game that allows you to "draw" the answers by using cards instead, making the game much more accessible for many people.

Food is life, and as hungry bloggers we all know this. How many of us even plan our trips around places we want to eat? The reality is that food is complicated and in short supply in many areas while it's revered, maybe even worshiped, in others. We've all seen the photos of what groceries for different families around the world look like and it's very humbling.
Reading is one of my favorite summertime activities. Who am I kidding? It's one of my favorite activities, period! When I was a kid I'd read two or three chapter books a day while babysitting my younger sisters and I would still choose to spend my summers that way if I could!
Marshmallow syrup in my Bailey's. It doesn't sound all that weird, but it never occurred to me until I tried a chocolate and marshmallow flavored malt at my favorite little drive-in recently and was wowed by it. Now I pretty much want marshmallow flavor in everything.
One of my favorite ways to get through the day is to look at adorable photos of cats, and with so many people at home we're definitely not lacking in numbers of photos to look at! This cat, for example, is making its way around the Internet for sticking his wee little paw (or peets, as they're known among many cat communities) into the fridge!
It's bad enough that the official coronavirus numbers are only estimates, but it turns out that some states are purposely lying about their numbers in order to help encouraging reopening sooner rather than later.
