Memorial Day was created to commemorate all the American servicemembers who have died while serving our country. With so many military men and women currently on dangerous overseas assignments, it's also a time to think about their sacrifice, and the sacrifice of their families back home.
Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of barbecue season and will find many Americans firing up the grill over the holiday weekend.
Part of the beauty of grilling is its simplicity, but that doesn't mean you can't improve your grill repertoire or technique. We've compiled a list of recipes and tips that can help you become a master of the open flame:
Tim Burton's 1989 take on 'Batman' wasn't quite as "dark" as Christopher Nolan's rebooted trilogy that followed 16 years later. But considering the last screen representation of the Caped Crusader was the '60s era campfest starring Adam West, Burton's vision was still quite a departure in tone from what audiences were used to seeing from The Dark Knight on screen.
Whether you're stuck trying to figure out an original way to be romantic or lamenting the fact you don't have a sweetheart, Valentine's Day definitely isn't all chocolate and good feelings.
But no matter your February 14th gripe, you are still probably having a better Valentine's Day than a Manchester, England man named Dan.
Being a teenager is a perilous time in one's life as a not-quite fully developed brain will cause the teen to make all kinds of questionable decisions.
Now thanks to a new phenomenon called sleep-texting, the teenager can even make these bad decisions while they are catching z's.
For a moment, homeless man Billy Ray Harris thought it was his lucky day.
When he looked down into his change cup after a round of panhandling he noticed something really shiny among the coins and bills. It was a diamond and platinum ring, and a "big one" at that.
Last month, Michael Garcia made a lot of people smile. The 45-year-old, who is a waiter at Laurenzo’s Restaurant in Houston, Texas, refused to serve a family who insulted Milo Castillo, a five-year old with Down Syndrome, by suggesting that "special needs children need to be special someplace else."
For 46 years, Sue Johnston had a pretty good idea what she'd be getting on Valentine's Day. Each February 14 her husband John would give her a bouquet of flowers with a note that read "My love for you grows."
Sadly, John passed away two years ago in April. 10 months later, Johnston received Valentine's Day flowers from somebody named John. At first she thought it was a cruel joke.
The title of the 1989 family comedy 'Honey, I Shrunk the Kids' pretty much explains the plot.
In the movie, an inventor played by Rick Moranis ends up shrinking his two children and two neighborhood kids to a quarter-of-an-inch tall and then has to figure out how to un-shrink them.
In the past we've had some fun with the bizarrely-flavored potato chips that pop up overseas -- like the Pepsi and chicken crisps that are all the rage in China.
Wedding planning is already full of potential friendship traps. Who's going to be in the bridal party? Who gets invited with a date? Who sits where?
Thanks to a new trend in "you're not invited" alerts, now newlyweds-to-be can also thoroughly offend those who aren't necessarily in their inner circle.
Things got awkward when 54-year-old Kimberly Margeson visited her 30-year-old son William Partridge at the Yates County jail in upstate New York.
