When it comes to practicing Taekwondo, age ain’t nothing but a number. And if these tiny fighters are any indication, the number doesn’t have to be very high.

Thanksgiving is still more than a month and a half away, but wild turkeys in the Arden area of Sacramento, CA seem to be on high alert for hungry humans. After hearing numerous stories of rogue turkeys chasing after joggers, Sacramento News10 producer Duffy Kelly set off to investigate the claims herself and wound up with a vicious fowl hot on her tail. Well, maybe it wasn’t all that harrowing,

How many firefighters does it take to get a moose out of a pool? No punchline here — the answer is nine. After vaulting over a fence and falling through the pool cover on the night of October 7, a full-grown moose found himself stranded in a backyard swimming pool in Manchester, NH. Local firefighters staged an emergency rescue, catching the whole endeavor on camera.

The Olympic Committee may not have any plans to allow robots into the 2012 Summer Games as of yet. But if they have a change of heart, we know at least one robot who will be prepared. Robot NO.8 Kovacs is a small Japanese robot who has the type of skills on the high bar that even the best gymnasts would envy.

When it comes to playing with cleaning tools, not every cat needs a Roomba to have a good time. Plenty are happy with just a plain old broom. In fact, they may even prefer it. Sure the ride may be a little bumpier on a manual, but most cats won’t bristle at that.

When it comes to walking across the country from California to New York, “for the heck of it” is as good a reason as any. In fact, in an age where publicity and profit seem to be much more common motives for this type of quest, 24-year-old Catherine Li’s largely under-the-radar 3,000-mile trek stands out as a true exception.

Queen drummer Roger Taylor is looking to put together an “official” cover band to play his group’s hits and launched an online competition at QueenExtravaganza.com, where Freddie Mercury and Brian May wannabes can submit audition tapes in the hope of joining Taylor’s touring tribute act when it sets off across North America sometime next year.

Headed down an escalator at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta, Dallas-based hairdresser Isis Brantley (who counts neo-soul singer Erykah Badu as a client) was stopped by TSA agents who insisted on checking her ample Afro hairstyle for explosives.

If you think breaking in a wild horse is hard, wait until you try to guide a train of speeding shopping carts around a mall. Filmed in the Indian city of Ahmedabad, this video shows an intrepid employee of the Iscon Mega Mall wrangling several carts in a pretty creative way. Though it may look like quite a challenge (it’s hard to put away one shopping cart, let alone a few dozen) apparently this

Are you looking for a cheap and spacious place to stay in sunny Burbank, California from October 10 – 13? If so, Conan O’Brien may have just the place for you. O’Brien recently listed his 25,000 square foot TV studio for rent on Airbnb, a popular online marketplace where home owners can offer up short-term rentals to travelers looking for alternatives to a hotel.

You’re bound to meet a few interesting people when you take a year-long hitchhiking trip across the country. Artist, traveler and self-proclaimed ‘lover of people’ Benjamin Jenks met exactly 930 when he and his raised thumb journeyed 5,000 miles from Los Angeles to Maine. Artist that he is, Ben put together a time-lapse video of his trip complete with photos of all 930 people he met along the way.

Contrary to what you may have heard, not everybody loves blow up dolls. Take Bert the cat for example. In this video, the only inflatable companion he’s interested in is a dead one. (NSFW for language.)
