| Historic moments seem to be the norm of late, but #Brexit definitely takes the (pound) cake. It's official now: the United Kingdom will leave (or Brexit) the European Union. In the roughly 52-48 result, the voters' decision sent the U.S. and international trading markets into a tizzy. The British pound spiraled, the prime minister announced his resignation, and U.S. stocks took an initial nosedive. London's bookies and many others had predicted the "stay camp" would emerge victorious, but now pretty much everyone has a say in why this is a great thing for Europe (and the rest of the world). Or the exact opposite. This process is far from over – it's more like the initial filing of divorce papers in a very, very messy marriage. We'll keep you updated with the latest. Cheerio for now.

| Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski was ousted earlier this week, and a campaign source informed Fox News that it was the Republican candidate's children who pushed for the decision. This decision apparently came during a fight for power between campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, and Lewandowski, in which Trump took Manafort's side. Now, Manafort will be taking on the role as Trump's campaign manager. Massive campaign change right before the convention? Well played... maybe. Read More |

STOP MILKING IT |

| On Friday, a federal judge ruled that Starbucks can now be sued for allegedly milking its customers... literally. In an act of heroism for caffeine addicts everywhere, two customers filed a lawsuit against the famous chain for shorting them. They claimed the milk foam blanketing their lattes, which made up as much as 25 percent of beverages, violated industry standards and should be excluded from the calculation of liquid volumes. Your morning cup of joe might get a bit more #grande as a result. Read More |

| Taxes are no friend of mine, and definitely not for Jeff McGarth and Dan Aylward from Illinois. These guys paid virtually all of their real estate taxes in single Washingtons. Yes, all in one dollar bills and each cashing in thousands. They say they will continue to pay this way until the government gets the message that property taxes are way too high. Good luck Jeff and Dan; we're counting on you. Read More |

SMELL FRESH, STAY SAFE |

| This grandma's probably got more chutzpah than you do. 61-year-old Joyce Kenney outsmarted her kidnapper when he approached her outside of her Middleton home and forced her to drive him in her car. This gangsta grandma sprung into action, using her perfume as a makeshift pepper spray. Her assailant was sprayed, kicked, and forced out of the vehicle. Next time you're in trouble, you know who to call.... Read More |

#CHEERIOCHALLENGE |

| When commercials say Cheerios are a part of a balanced breakfast, I don't think they meant this. Dads across the internet are taking the "Cheerio Challenge" to see how many pieces they can stack on their sleeping infants. One dad was able to stack 17 Cheerios on his child's face. First an internet challenge, next an Olympic level sport? Read More |

| Tired of self-diagnosing yourself with a rare, life-threatening disease from your online "research"? Your doctor (or therapist) is, too. Google announced a new "symptom search" feature that will bring up more accurate results for common symptoms. The new feature was developed with help from Harvard Medical School and the Mayo Clinic, and will offer several common possibilities and related website links. No more calling in sick because you're "apparently" suffering from the bubonic plague! Read More |

"I ONLY SMOKE WHEN I DRINK..." |

| We all know those people, who wouldn't refer to themselves as smokers per se, but enjoy lighting up on the bar's outdoor patio when drinking socially. Now, these social smokers may be able to blame their habit on the a-a-alcohol (and science). A new studypublished this month found that alcohol accelerates the metabolic consumption of nicotine in heavy drinkers, resulting in the brain signaling for more of the chemical to feel satisfied. In other words, all those beers your friends were just swigging may be causing them to crave cigarettes. Maybe they should consider making the switch to late-night pizza... Just a thought.

TENT LYFE |

| And you thought your parents were rough. One teen's parents are forcing him to spend his days in a tent in their backyard for a month as punishment for stealing from them. They've given him the choice of writing book reports "about becoming respectable" to get out of the tent, but, in a shocking twist, he hasn't taken them up on it so far. Pro-tip for any parents out there: the local sheriff said they weren't breaking any laws. Read More |
