If you know all of these, you moved around a lot as a kid . . . A new study ranked the most misunderstood sayings from across the U.S.  For example, "yinz" is Pennsylvania's version of y'all.  But a third of Americans thought it was just a made-up word that didn't mean anything.  (???) Here are the 10 most misunderstood sayings from across the U.S. 1.  "Taverns" in South Dakota.  They're a type of sandwich similar to sloppy joes.   2.  "Right out straight" in Maine.  It means you're really busy.  People who aren't from Maine thought it meant you're telling the [...]

Security is so tight at schools across the country that it MUST make senior pranks a big challenge.  But apparently, a BAGPIPE PLAYER isn't suspicious enough to get stopped at the door. Students at a high school in Illinois pulled a senior prank on their principal, Mr. Robison, last week . . . by hiring a bagpiper named Scott Whitman to follow him around.  He serenaded Mr. Robison through the halls for a full 60 minutes.

The idea was to confuse people and split the vote between the three Bobs, so none [...]

According to a new poll, the average American needs to spend 67 MINUTES outside each day in order to feel refreshed.  (Which would be like walking four miles to a Starbucks.) That's easy enough right now . . . when it's getting warmer out, but not TOO hot.  It's a real struggle to get those 67 minutes in when it's January in the Midwest.  Or July in Arizona. [...]
