    One little piggy finds love

    A heartwarming story out of Palm Beach, where a dog has taken in an orphaned boar piglet. The dog who is nursing her own puppies is allowing the baby piglet to nurse as well. You can see the whole family here. Makes you go ahhhhh.

    1 in 6 drivers flunk

    New study finds about 33 million American motorists would not be able to get a license if they had to take a written test. The survey taken of drivers from all 50 states found one in six drivers don't know the rules of the road. The biggest sticking points are what to do when approaching a yellow light, and the safe distance to maintain behind another car. As we all head out on the roads this long holiday weekend, please drive carefully and defensely, because the other driver may not know what they're doing! Good luck. Read more about it here.

    Snack and a Snooze

    Apparently what people want the most at work, free snacks and a place to sleep during lunch. A recent poll of office workers found the biggest gripe at work is the climate, either too hot or too cold. The top requests: covered parking, subsidized cafeteria food, free popcorn and coffee as well as a nap area. The unusual request: better office artwork. Those dogs playing poker really disturb me too!

    Just one night of poor sleep can prompt your brain to just shut down. Research found those who were sleep deprived suffered with momentary lapses in several areas of the brain, including blanking out. Another reason to make sure you're getting a good night's sleep, you might vote for the wrong David! Research details here.

    Guilty drivers

    We all do it, even though we know we probably shouldn't: Talk on our cell phones while we drive. Now a new survey finds nearly half of those polled say they have nearly hit or have been hit by someone talking on a cell phone. So why do we continue to do it? Poll finds we are a multi-tasking society with little time and hectic lifestyles. You can read more about it here.
