American Kids Are Starting to Sound British After Watching Too Much ‘Peppa Pig’

It’s a pretty well-known fact by now that young kids love Peppa Pig. Like, a LOT.

The popular children’s show debuted in 2004, and has steadily taken over the world by indoctrinating the world’s children ever since.

But American parents have noticed lately that there’s been one strange consequence of their kids’ watching lots and lots of Peppa Pig.

As strange as it sounds, parents in the U.S. are noticing that their little ones are developing British accents from watching Peppa Pig.

And this guy isn’t alone. Look at all these other folks who are also experiencing the same phenomenon.

Roberto Rey Agudo, language program director of the department of Spanish and Portuguese at Dartmouth College, says the British accents are weirdly prevalent among kids in the U.S. “in part because Peppa Pig has been such a phenomenon with the 2 to 5-year-old crowd and it’s considered cute, whereas I don’t know what other shows have that kind of currency right now.”

I wonder why this didn’t happen with Mr. Belvedere when I was a kid…

If You’re a Nurse, These Memes Were Made For You

Nurses are some of the hardest working people in the world, and absolutely among the unsung heroes of our society. I’ve been fortunate enough to only ever have had one extended stay in a hospital (as a visitor, thankfully), and I can’t imagine how awful it would have been without the care and hard work that the nursing staff put in.

That’s why it’s so important for nurses to get a  good laugh once in a while, which is where these memes come in.

1. Good night and good luck

Lotto Winner Shows Up to Collect His Winnings Wearing a ‘Scream’ Mask

A lot of people may not know this, but every state has different laws about whether or not a lottery winner is allowed to remain anonymous. I’m not really sure why that is, because I know I certainly wouldn’t want the whole world knowing who I am and what I look like if I’d just won a fat stack of cash.

This lottery winner from Jamaica had the right idea when he showed up to claim a prize worth $1.17 million (U.S.) wearing the famous Ghostface mask from the Scream movies.

Legendary.

Photo Credit: Twitter

The man’s name was released, but A. Campbell was determined to keep his face hidden from the public…probably a good idea. Campbell said the win has caused some issues: “My head hurt me for three days because I was thinking so much. [Wondering] if what I’ve been longing for really come true. I had a belly ache for two weeks, sometimes I feel so much pain I forgot that I had won.”

The big winner said he’s now on the hunt for a new house.

Congrats Mr. Campbell! Spend it wisely…

Apparently, Smelling Your Partner’s… Gas… Could Help You Live Longer

In today’s edition of adorable but also disgusting news, scientists have determined that smelling your partner’s… gaseous emissions (aka farts)… may just help you live longer.

A study in the journal Medicinal Chemistry Communications showed that exposure to hydrogen sulfide, the same gas you that pass, can help ward off mitochondrial damage that causes various health problems.

Researcher Dr. Mark Wood said, “Although hydrogen sulfide is well known as a pungent, foul-smelling gas in rotten eggs and flatulence, it is naturally produced in the body and could in fact be a healthcare hero.”

The study showed that exposure to hydrogen sulfide in small amounts can help reduce the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and cancer. Another researcher spoke about how the team created a new compound called AP39 that they believe will help the body produce the right amount of hydrogen sulfide and that the compound can be delivered to certain cells. Matt Whiteman said:

“When cells become stressed by disease, they draw in enzymes to generate minute quantities of hydrogen sulfide. This keeps the mitochondria ticking over and allows cells to live. If this doesn’t happen, the cells die and lose the ability to regulate survival and control inflammation.

We have exploited this natural process by making a compound, called AP39, which slowly delivers very small amounts of this gas specifically to the mitochondria. Our results indicate that if stressed cells are treated with AP39, mitochondria are protected and cells stay alive.”

Now that you’re armed with this information, you know what you have to do…

This Woman Finally Got the ‘Smoking Hot Body’ She Always Wanted… In Her Obituary

If you’re fortunate enough to live a long life, one long enough that you can actually plan for your passing away, do yourself a favor and write your own obituary.

If you need more convincing, take the example of Sybil Marie Hicks. She wrote her own obituary shortly before she died on February 2, and it is absolutely hilarious.

Hicks started the obituary by saying, “It hurts me to admit it…but I, Mrs. Ron Hicks from Baysville, have passed away.”

She also called her husband a “Horse’s Ass” and joked about her children who she says she “tolerated over the years.”

But Ms. Hicks saved the best line for herself: “I finally have the smoking hot body I have always wanted. Having been cremated.”

Photo Credit: Twitter

Zing!

Hicks also talked about a “Dorothy” now taking care of her husband, but some think it was just another example of the late woman’s sense of humor.

Photo Credit: Twitter

Hicks’ obituary rightfully went viral and her daughter commented on the attention.

Man, this lady was hilarious.
