How Much Would I Have To Pay You To Eat A Stranger's Booger?
Be honest.
The premise is simple: You have to eat a stranger's booger. How much money would make it doable?
Thinkstock
- This is a city booger. It's not a nice pollen-crusted nature booger. Imagine a stranger you bump into on a crowded sidewalk.
-This is a complete booger: A little bit crunchy, and little bit gooey, this boog is about the size of a typical ant, a lentil, or a BB.
- You can't put the booger on a piece of food to disguise the taste. You can't chase it with a drink.

25 Of The Most Powerful Photos Of This Week
Here are the most moving, sorrowful, and beautiful pictures from the past week.
Gunnery Sgt. Chris Willingham, of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, poses with retired U.S. Marine Corps dog Lucca at Wellington Barracks in London, England, after receiving the PDSA Dickin Medal for animal bravery. The 12-year-old German Shepherd lost her leg in 2012 in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, when Lucca discovered a 30lb improvised explosive device. As she searched for additional IEDs, a second device detonated and instantly severed her front left leg. Lucca completed over 400 separate missions in Iraq and Afghanistan during six years of active service.

How These Kids And Shelter Pets Are Helping Each Other
This will for sure be the cutest thing you see all day.
Santa Paula Animal Rescue Center, SPARC for short, launched a Reading To Animals program this past November.

The kids come in after school and have the option of either reading a book or doing their homework, while hanging out with some of the animals.
I mean, just look how cute they are.
Nicky Gore-Jones, the executive director of the shelter, sees the obvious benefits the program has on the kids.
However, the kids are more concerned with how they’re helping these animals.

If You Love Pictures You Can't Miss These Photos

"Killed Photographs" on Mashable
“Here we have a fascinating perspective on one of the most influential bodies of photographic work in history. This selection of outtakes, or 'killed' photographs, provides insight into not only the working process of those photographers hired by the Farm Service Agency to document rural poverty during the Great Depression, but also the working methods of Roy Stryker, the editor who commissioned and facilitated the production of this monumental collection.” —Gabriel H. Sanchez, Photo Essay Editor

"Retrace Our Steps..."
“Retrace Our Steps…” is a haunting series of conceptual photos depicting the aftermath of devastation wrought upon Fukushima in the wake of the March 2011 tsunami and earthquake as survivors and evacuees are seen carrying on daily life in their abandoned homes, businesses, bars, and supermarkets (as though nothing happened). Carlos Ayesta and Guillaume Bression’s photographs capture both the desolation of present-day Fukushima, and provide a small glimpse of Japanese life — which has become nearly unrecognizable." —Ben King, Deputy Art Director

A Whole Bunch Of People With The Same Last Name Got To Visit These Ancient Tombs For Free
The Ming Dynasty emperors’ last name was “Zhu,” so you can see where they were going with this.
More than 8,500 people got to enjoy a free trip, normally worth $25 to a tomb, in Beijing — all thanks to their last name.
They got to visit the Ming Tombs to be exact — a famous tourist destination on the outskirts of the city — during the country's long weekend.
The only thing the lucky visitors have in common is that they're surnamed Zhu. During last weekend's holiday, the Ming Tombs decided to treat the Zhus just because. "Ming Dynasty was ruled by Zhu family," a spokesman told The Beijing News.
The Ming Dynasty was the Han-led dynasty that ruled China between 1368 to 1644, following the Mongol-led Yuan dynasty and replaced by the Manchu-led Qing dynasty. Beijing was its primary capital. Zhu Yuanzhang was its founding emperor, of course, Zhu became the royal family name.
Although the founding emperor was buried somewhere else, from the Yongle Emperor onwards, a total of 13 Ming dynasty emperors were buried here, thus the Ming Tombs are commonly known as the "Thirteen Mausoleums" in Chinese.
The Zhus quickly took to Weibo to share their joy of ~privilege~. "Zhu family descedents, together with the Empress Xu and Sir Meng, are here touring the Ming Tombs for free. The Ming Dynasty's the greatest!" one Imperial descendent joked.

Is It Better To Be In A Relationship Or Single As Fuq?
“If it’s not about sleeping with someone then I don’t know what we’re even talking about.”
Being in a relationship can be tough. You fight...and ya might even break up and have your heart stomped on! Being single can also be tough. Delivery minimums discriminate against you and it's hard to get laid on a consistent basis! So, which is worse?
