Jesus on stingray Jesus on stingray, When most people think of Jesus fish, they might think of fishes and loaves or bumper stickers. Erika Scheldt, 24, got a lot more literal when she photographed a stingray last Friday while playing on the beach at James Island, S.C. When a dead cownose ray washed up on the beach, Scheldt took a photo of it, fascinated by the strange image on its back that looked vaguely familiar. "I just kind of thought it looked like a bearded homeless man," Scheldt told IslandPacket.com "But when I posted pictures on Instagram, one of my friends was like, 'That's Jesus.' And I was like, 'Oh, my God. You're right.'"

As Burger King rolls out its new and improved health-conscious menu, they've tapped singer Mary J. Blige to star in their latest commercial. It begins with a customer walking up to the counter inquiring about the chicken snack wrap, and Blige follows by singing all of the new ingredients over an R&B beat. Do you feel this is a good look for a legend like Mary, or is this a major fail?

Chinese bowl 27 million Chinese bowl 27 million, An extremely rare Chinese porcelain bowl earned nearly $27 million at an auction in Hong Kong.

Happiest country in world Happiest country in world, As part of a report for an upcoming United Nations meeting on well-being, a team of scientists has polled citizens from different countries to determine which nations are the happiest and which are the unhappiest.What is happiness? Charles Schulz, the creator of Peanuts, wrote, “Happiness is a warm puppy.” John Lennon had a different take: “Happiness is a warm gun.” Whatever happiness is to you, there’s some conditions under which it most readily blossoms. You need enough money to acquire a puppy or a gun, and enough free time to exalt in its warmth. You need the peace of mind that Big Brother isn’t about to come around the corner and take your gun (or puppy) away from you. And because fun things are even more fun when shared with others, you’ll be even happier if you have a family that encourages your passion, or at least a local chapter of the NRA or Kennel Club to hang out with. The World’s Happiest Countries A few years ag...

martin luther king jr assassination anniversary martin luther king jr assassination anniversary, Wednesday marks the 44th anniversary of the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Memphis, Tenn., where he’d gone to support a strike by black sanitation workers. In talking with the strikers, King suggested they were “going beyond purely civil rights questions to questions of human rights” by raising “the economic issue.” People should have the right not only to sit at a lunch counter but also the right to afford a hamburger, he told the audience. More than four decades later, while progress on King’s vision of racial justice is hardly complete, the United States has become a far more racially inclusive society. By contrast, we’ve lost ground on reaching the goal of economic justice, as inequality has reached record heights. Along the way, the American labor movement King traveled to Memphis to support has essentially collapsed, representing just 7 percent private sector workers, comp...
