      Thank goodness for the ability to untag yourself in unflattering photos that you would rather not see the light of day. Maybe it was an awkward angle, your eyes were closed, or your hair was sticking up. In any case, there are just some pictures of yourself that you would rather keep private. Suppose that despite your best efforts, you were unable to get pictures removed from Facebook. To what extent would you go? Take the case of Minnesota man Aaron Olson. His uncle, Randall LaBrie, posted some pictures (which have yet to surface publicly or online for us to find and post here) from Olson's childhood of him in front of the Christmas tree accompanied by some less than flattering captions. When Olson became aware of the photos, he asked his uncle to take them down. Instead, LaBrie just untagged the photos and allegedly told his nephew that if he did not like the photos, "he should stay off Facebook." So,

      An Ice Age flower has come back to life. How exactly did that happen? Well, a team of Russian scientists discovered a burrow that contained fruit and seeds left in the Siberian permafrost by a squirrel that buried them about 30,000 years ago. Remnants of the Silene stenophylla blossom were found perfectly preserved, and in an experiment to extract the seeds, the scientists pioneered a new way to resurrect the plant. For thousands of years, the flower was fully encased in ice, and no water was able to get to it. The storage chambers that the squirrels created were filled with hay and animal fur to protect their treasure. Stanislav Gubin, one scientist working with the discovery, called it a "natural cryobank." The blossom with its white flowers looks similar to its modern-day version, which also grows in the same region as its predecessor. The burrows, which were found 125 feet below the surface, also

      Moab, Utah is a tourist destination known for great adventures like white-water rafting, snow-skiing and its red rock landscape. But now, stuntman Devin Graham is putting the city on the map for a new reason. Graham, also known as Devin SuperTramp, has created what he calls the world's largest rope swing. The video of Graham and his crew of daredevils is now going viral on YouTube with just under 700,000 views in just 2 days. The pendulum rope is located on the Corona Arch in Arches National Park. Graham and his friends took the idea of a rope swing and made it extreme, by attaching a 150 ft. rope supported by five anchors to the top of a giant redstone rock arch. The behind the scenes video of the construction of the swing details how there is approximately 300 ft of webbing to "make sure nobody dies" and 38 carabiners. While Graham and his friends are carefully engineering the rope, someone in the

      Video of a failed robbery attempt is going viral. An armed man walked into a bar and demanded money in the Dutch city of Rotterdam. Typically, bar patrons would freak out if someone walks in with a gun and tries to rob them. That is not what happened. Instead of doing exactly what the robber demanded, the patrons appear to ignore him and continue enjoying themselves. Obviously frustrated and flustered by the lack of attention, the robber then leans over the bar and demands a pack of cigarettes. When the bartender tells the failed robber to get out, the man turns around and walks out of the bar. But that is not the end of the story. The bar patrons follow the guy for a mile before finally catching up to him, and they turn him over to police. One person tweeted that the robbery was an "epic fail."

      From one hard-to-believe story about a robbery to a story people think may be fabricated about America's 34th

      Chris Brown won his first-ever Grammy award Sunday night for Best R&B Album for his album F.A.M.E. His achieving one of the highest honors in the world of music is now being marred by his reaction to criticism he received on Twitter. Coincidentally, Brown won the award on the third anniversary of his assault of now ex-girlfriend and pop star Rihanna. Fellow celebrities such as actor Adam Scott, country singer Miranda Lambert, and Jack Osbourne took to Twitter to speak out against Brown. Osbourne tweeted, "Chris Brown...don't forget! #chrisbrownbeatswomen." Brown responded in a series of tweets calling his treatment a double standard, arguing that society glorifies rappers who used to be drug dealers. The R&B artist also acknowledged that he had learned from his mistake, but that he still has to deal with day-to-day hatred. His final tweet is what has people talking. Brown tweeted, "HATE ALL YOU WANT BECUZ I
