That awkward moment when you walk by a guy at the beach and he rips a huge fart ... and then he does it again and again ... to tons of different people. Yes. The 9-year-old in me comes out. [via ViralViral Video]

The backpack that gives back. Austin, Texas-based OAK Lifestyle has designed backpacks with a message encouraging the practice of Ordinary Acts of Kindness. With the purchase of every OAK backpack, the company donates backpacks and school supplies to homeless kids in Austin and orphans in Rwanda.
