Like all famous artists, Frida Kahlo had a very colorful life.

We know dolls are supposed to be children's toys, but there's something about them that scares the living daylights out of us.

Okay, maybe we've seen a few too many horror movies, but you have to admit there's just something off about dolls.

It's a classic dilemma parodied in so many TV shows and movies we now roll our eyes every time we see it: Two women are trying to pry open a jar of jam (or some other condiment) but, despite their best efforts, the lid just won't pop.

The Down Dog yoga pose is so popular that people who have never done yoga before generally know what it entails. But despite how classic the move is and its practice in every yoga studio, lots of people still get the move wrong, over extending the shoulders backward.
Achievement Hunters aren't going for "achievements" in this video, they're going for a "reward" in the Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA) game Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light.

If we lived on a diet of Moroccan food, we would become rotund piggies in no time. Not that Moroccan food is unhealthy (okay, maybe the sweeter dishes are), but with such scintillating deep flavors we'd never be able to stop nomming.
In our hectic everyday world of coffee, office cubicles, kids, and soul destroying commutes, it's nice - and often necessary - to have a peaceful, safe haven we can come back to and just be ourselves in.

Babies, unsurprisingly, are extremely fragile their first few months on earth, and so need the best care necessary to help adjust them to living outside their mother's snug womb.
