1. Tame Foxes John Lithgow explains how unnatural selection, the act of selectively breeding animals for desirable qualities, can produce unexpected results. The interesting thing is how quickly these changes occur. The research has led a lot of people to question the accepted evolutionary theory of the family dog beginning with the domestication of the wolf. The molecular evidence seems pretty clear that dogs evolved from wolves rather than jackals or coyotes, but I can't find any reference to a similar study done to look for a dog/fox biological connection.

1. Charles Nelson Reilly: Dead It is so awesome that an actor, by sheer power of personality, could become a household name by only appearing in guest starring roles. Charles Nelson Reilly never really had a starring role, in fact, for all his appearances, he was never really a regular cast member on any television show. But his appearances on TV throughout the 60s, 70s and 80s, especially as a celebrity guest on The Match Game have cemented him in pop culture history.

4. Kelly Christine Spaich And in "Hot for Teacher News" another attractive woman was busted for allegedly seducing one of her sixteen year old students. It seems like 28 is the age when most of these women get involved with these young boys.

However, Ms. Sellers' affliction seems to be contained only in her legs, which have grown to enormous proportions.

1. Nothing My standard answer, when asked what I want for Christmas, is usually "nothing." And I'm not just trying to be polite, I'd normally rather not receive gifts. Thanks to the producers of this product, I won't really be able to say that anymore.

2. Mystery Hill A lot of towns seem to have these mysterious hills on which local legend claims your car will roll uphill. Usually, it is some phantom civil war soldiers or children killed on a railroad track that are said to push your car. This guy shows you the truth of why it appears that your car defies gravity.

1. Gerald Ford: Dead 38th president Gerald Ford died at the age of 93.

I also think he looked like an astronaut.

2. Russian Roswell Russian news agencies reported that an identified flying object has fallen from the sky into Siberia. No further information at this time.
