Age, names, where are you on the grand scale of things?

If you’ve ever wondered how popular your name is, it’s easy to find out. In 1998, the Social Security Administration began ranking the top 1,000 most common first names submitted on Social Security card applications for each year dating back to 1880. The administration then whittled down the list to the 200 most popular names of each decade, tallying up how many people share the same identifier. That list has become a tool for parents-to-be looking for the perfect name, and a warning for those trying to avoid name trends. Here are the most popular boy and girl names from the past century.

Well wasn't he lucky? No math. But, I wonder what the odds were for him to find help.

If the Global Warming doesn't get you. If the Global Cooling doesn't get you. If Climate Change doesn't get you. Will it be the Asian Hornets?

Asian hornets are being sighted in the UK posing a potentially serious threat to humans and bees.

A single sting is capable of killing a human allergic to their venom, and just one Asian hornet can consume up to 50 honey bees a day – while a swarm can rapidly kill an entire hive of 30,000 bees.

Experts are urging people to be vigilant to report any sightings of the hornets, so that their locations across the UK can be tracked – and warn that members of the public should never disturb or touch an Asian hornet nest.

Some of these mishaps will leave a mark or three......

The line is, "Get off my lawn." Not, "Get off my dead end street." Genius Award Winner.

Three students from Palmetto Ridge High School reported that a man pointed a gun at them after he drove his truck at their vehicle and forced them into a dead-end street.

I don't care for neighbors. This is one of my 1,272 reasons.

'I hope he enjoys [my] new 2AM workout': Upstairs tenant gets payback on the unit below by weaponizing her nightshift after a flurry of fallacious complaints to HOA
Mudslinging isn't very neighborly, but neighborhood feuds are more common than affordable housing. In buildings with close quarters, paper-thin walls, and rickety floorboards, it's easy to get swept up in the downright fury of a noisy, irritating neighbor– especially when you have opposite sleep rhythms. For this tenant, it was more than just the tight living conditions that sent her over the edge, it was the false complaints that her new neighbor was filing with the HOA. Now now, settle down everyone… surely there's a way to solve this like adults?
