“If we could live happy and healthy lives without harming others… why wouldn’t we?”

A baby goat named Frostie who lives at Edgar’s Mission in Victoria, Australia, was born with joint-navel ill, a disease that affected the use of his back legs. Because the disease causes a build-up of toxins in the body, it’s especially important that Frostie be able to move. Luckily a custom cart that was made for his back legs, helps him to take his very first steps.

Joint navel ill is a disease that is seen in very young calves and kid goats and results from an infection entering the body via the umbilical cord soon after birth. The causes are often insufficient or poor quality colostrum (a mother's immune building first milk) or a dirty and hygienic environment. And in Frostie's case the bacteria had spread via his bloodstream and settled in the joints of his hind limbs -his joints becoming swollen, hot and painful and rendering him unable to use them. Necessity becoming the Mother of invention as we work to save and enrich the life of our newest little rescue , watch what happens next….

Stamford, Connecticut inventor and video maker Colin Furze has the time of his life while walking on the ceiling with his homemade X-Men Magneto magnetic shoes.

Jimmy Kimmel Live featured a group of celebrities reading mean-spirited tweets about themselves in the seventh edition of their hilarious ongoing series. Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke, Matthew McConaughey, and Sophia Vergara were a few of the celebs who were made fun of this time around.

There are a lot of celebrities on twitter and some people feel very comfortable using twitter to insult those celebrities. From time to time, we gather those insults and package them together to illustrate the fact that words can hurt.

In "Grumpleton," an animated short from Australian design agency Jumbla, the sole grumpy resident of an otherwise happy town called "Merryville" tries unsuccessfully to end his own life. The consequences are humorous and the moral of the story is questionable, at best.

To celebrate the X-Men: Days of Future Past film coming to theaters this week, Screen Junkies created an honest movie trailer for the original X-Men Trilogy (X-Men, X2: X-Men United, and X-Men: The Last Stand). We’ve previously written about Screen Junkies’ ongoing series of honest television, movie, and video game trailers.

‘Days of Future Past’ is almost here, featuring every X-Man ever. We decided to look back at the original X-Men trilogy, which spawned two great movies and one that should have been optic-blasted into oblivion.

Scottish cyclist Danny MacAskill attached a GoPro to his helmet, took to the streets of Glasgow and performed bicycle tricks on nearly every object in sight. GoPro added narration from MacAskill and turned the impressive video into an ad for the HD HERO3+.

This video from 2012 highlights the difficult process of attempting to cross the street in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, through packs of buses and mopeds, without the aid of traffic lights.

The DEKA Arm System is a prosthetic arm developed by DEKA Integrated Solutions for DARPA‘s Revolutionizing Prosthetics program that can perform multiple, simultaneous movements powered by a combination of electrical signals, switches, movement sensors, and force sensors. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved the system for marketing.

The development and approval of the system, nicknamed “Luke” after the Star Wars protagonist, was a process overseen by Dean Kamen that took eight years. Kamen spoke about the project and its inception in a 2007 TED talk.

Spring Style Hack

Mini Style Hacker is a photo project by Valencia, California-based mother Collette Wixom. She dresses her adorable 4-year-old son Ryker in stylish attire and takes pictures of him recreating popular fashion photos “to show other parents how they could do the same.” You can view more photos of young Ryker being a fashionable rockstar on Instagram, Facebook, and the official Mini Style Hacker website.

Ryker, who is featured in most of my photos, is 4 and is not a model or an actor. He is a regular kid who does regular kid things. I am able to get him to "pose" by making it fun for him. We use our imaginations a ton and have a great time while doing so. If you see him with his hands in his pockets, he is holstering his imaginary laser guns. If you see him leaning against a wall, he is trying to push it over with his body weight. If your child hates having their picture taken, give imaginative play a try!

While passing through Kootenay National Park in British Columbia, a driver for Tornado Hunter named Ricky Forbes captured this amazing footage of a determined mama bear reaching over a concrete median to rescue her highway-stranded cub.

Driving through British Columbia’s Kootenay National Park we stopped to capture a shot of a baby bear on the highway only to get much more of a show. While watching the cub we saw the mama bear stick it’s head over the barrier to save it’s young from its dangerous predicament. It almost looks like she looks both ways first! A very amazing sight to see.

In "Cruising," Los Angeles animator Zachary Zezima turns the story of a young man stuck on a cruise ship into a violently colorful and cacophonous animation exploring the fallout of "forced fun." The piece takes a dark turn, but things eventually work out in the end.

His initial inability to accept his environment drives him to suicidal fantasy, where he learns to cope with his stressors, discomfort and anxieties.

In “Reawakening Extinct Species,” PBS show Quest takes look at the young field of de-extinction, in which scientists are working to bring extinct species back through processes like cloning. The 100,000 year shelf-life of DNA takes older creatures out of the running, so the field is focused on more recently extinct animals such as the passenger pigeon, which went from being one of the most abundant birds in the world to complete extinction over the course of 50 years.
