Update: the Harry Potter bathroom stall has been painted over.




Sad day...but come on, we all knew it was bound to happen, right? If you haven't read this OMG-Fact yet, you should check it out and get yourself up to speed. Caitlyn posted the original photo here on her Tumblr, and recently updated fans about her subsequent graffiti defeat. Here is a transcript of her summary of the events that followed her 'accomplishment':

"okay basically i found out that the principal knew about it. so before they could call me down i turned myself in, thus possibly getting less of a punishment and such, and so yeah i went to the principal and confessed. it's funny cause she had pictures in her hand of it (and all the other graffiti in that bathroom) and idk anyways we had a little discussion, i told her i understood it was defacing school property, she knew i didn't mean any harm and such. there's a bunch of other small unnecessary details in the conversation blah blah blah. punishment is to pay for "damage" but no detention or suspension! :)"

Saturn's rings and the gaps between the rings both have names.




The rings are not so creatively named, though. Each ring has been assigned a letter from A to G in the order that they were originally discovered. Inexplicably, scientists decided to get fancier with the empty space between rings than the rings themselves! Each gap is named after a famous astronomer that historically was associated with studies of Saturn.

After Tupac's death, his hip-hop posse smoked some of his ashes with marijuana.




A few days after his murder, the Outlaw Immortalz mixed some of his cremated remains with marijuana and smoked him. His remaining ashes were taken to Soweto 10 years later at a special ceremony attended by former South African President Nelson Mandela.

This was part of an effort by Tupac's mom to develop a relationship between the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation, a non-profit that provides arts centers and scholarships for young artists, and the Nelson Mandela Foundation. This honor more than makes up for the somewhat less dignified "scattering of his ashes" in 1996.

Some awesome lists!

Though it is a TV series based on music, Glee does not have a theme song.




Here's Jane Lynch's attempt at writing her own on Saturday Night Live, though!

A boy born without a cerebellum is learning to walk.




3-year-old Chase Britton is truly a medical marvel. He was born without a cerebellum, the part of the brain that regulates balance, motor skills, and emotions. He also lacks a pons, the brain structure that controls breathing and sleeping. His doctors claimed that walking was impossible because he has the "MRI of a vegetable," but this is definitely not the case. Remarkably, he is able to do such things as walk, ride a bike, use scissors, and write with a pencil! This astounding young man is causing neurologists to reconsider long-held opinions on how the human brain works.
