Blake Shelton tweeted from the road claiming to have gone a little out of his way to put down a wild Eastern Box Turtle terrorizing the shoulder of an Oklahoma highway on Friday.
Does anyone know if the Eastern Box turtle is protected in Oklahoma? If so I didn't just swerve to the shoulder of the road to smash one...
Now I know what your thinking, "Blake you can't be running over turtles all willy-nilly with a last name like Shell-ton!"

"As we do when confronted by moments of darkness and challenge, we must now come together as one American family. All of us must have the people of Aurora in our thoughts and prayers as they confront the loss of family, friends, and neighbors, and we must stand together with them in the challenging hours and days to come."

Mermaids don't actually exist, at least according to a recent report from the National Ocean Service, It doesn't stop girls from dreaming, or one Vancouver mother from making dreams come true. Monika Naumann started designing mermaid tails, called 3-Fins made out of bathing suit material. They come in blue, orange, red, green and pink, and the fins are made from regular flippers. The whole thing takes about three days to make and will run you $245 plus shipping.
A small price to pay for making dreams come true I guess. Personally I'd be terrified to be swimming with my legs tied together, and for $300 I'd pretty much want them to swim for me. Also I don't know if the make them for grown men. . .yet.

Ladies, it might be time to overhaul our diet and cut out chicken. Scientists have linked a hormone found in most chicken to recurring bladder infections in women - the worst part, this bacteria is resistant to antibiotics. Read more.
This week Potter and I got the chance to go out to Dane County Regional Airport to take a tour of and then actually fly around over Madison in EAA's restored B-17 Flying Fortress named "Aluminum Overcast". It was one of the coolest things I've ever done.
The plane looks almost new, its been restored to look like it would when it was in service, with a million machine guns, top, chin, tail and bottom ball turrets, belts and belts of ammo, even what I hoped were dummy bombs in the bomb bay, and what was definitely a dummy crammed into what has got to be a very cramped seat in the tail gun.
Getting in, sitting in the mesh seats and buckling up trying to imagine how scary it would be to be headed on an actual mission made it easy to be pretty calm about what was the first flight I've ever been on that didn't serve peanuts and Diet Coke. The "Flying Fortress" was up and in the air in a heartbeat.
Pretty much right away we were given the signal to hop up and wander around the plane, being careful not to fall over or bang your head on anything you could walk up past the ball turret (I wouldn't be able to fit in it if I tried. I think its reserved for the smallest dude on the crew)) and into the radio room where the top hatch had been taken out and you could stick your head right up and out (I kind of felt like R2-D2). Then you could squeeze through the bomb bay and into the cockpit, then crawl under the pilots and into nose where the bombardier sits which is essentially all window (think The House on the Rock's Infinity Room only a bit higher up). Sitting in the bombardier seat and looking past my feet to the ground was super crazy. Don't worry, I tried to dump the payload but the trigger didn't work, Madison is safe for now.
By the end of the flight a few guys were getting airsick from looking through their camera view finders, probably a similar sensation to staring down a gunsight while in flight, but everyone held on to their lunch. The pilots put the B-17 down for a smooth landing and we hopped out onto the tarmac with a few extra chest hairs and a lot of respect for the men who piloted and manned these impressive machines of war when it really counted. Just an amazing piece of history being kept alive by the folks at EAA.
The "Aluminum Overcast" will be in Madison for tours and flights this weekend July 13-15, check EAA's site for details.

Luke Bryan sang the National Anthem at last night's MLB All-Star game and sounded great...However he is getting criticism because he is looking at his hands during the performance. This has led many people to think he wrote the lyrics down!
SCROLL DOWN TO READ LUKE'S RESPONSE
Some say writing them down is better than forgetting them while others say it's a disgrace he didn't have the song memorized. A third theory is that he was looking at his watch to time it out, but it doesn't look like it to me.
Personally I think it doesn't matter what the song is - This wasn't a last minute gig! If you're hired to sing a song you should have taken the time to learn the lyrics. But I still love ya Luke!
Watch and decide what you think below:
Luke responded to the criticism this morning via Twitter:
I had a few keys words written down to insure myself that I wouldn't mess up. I just wanted to do my best. I promise it was from the heart.

Science has come together for a great cause - to formulate an ideal Christian Grey for the movie based on the popular book series. This is a great use of crime fighting technology! No really, this is the same program they use to create a criminal composite of a suspect.
Who will be Christian Grey the main guy? Hollywood hasn’t decided but a scientists have put together what he should look like.
Eyes of Patrick Dempsey, Brad Pitt's jawline, David Beckham’s face and Val Kilmer’s lips.
Two things, one it's good to se Val KIlmer is getting work, or his lips, AND two, Ian Somerhalder. I'm sorry but he should be Christian Grey hands down.

A Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes divorce is over, they reached a settlement. According to the experts, they wanted to avoid court at all costs so the "Tom Cruise secrets" won’t be made public.
The biggest issue was custody of little Suri. Obviously, he wants to be close to her but Katie wants to live in NYC and Tom is based in LA. They worked out some type of visitation and co-parenting agreement.
Katie was seeking sole custody of Suri, and much speculation has surfaced that she wants to raise the her outside the Church of Scientology, of which Tom Cruise is a key member.
Katie basically gets primary physical custody, but Tom will have a lot of custodial time with Suri.
A rumor that Suri must be around Katie's nanny and bodyguard when in Tom's presence is completely false.
Religion—Scientology and Catholicism—is among the topics in the settlement. Tom and Katie can't say anything they want to Suri about religion, but that limitation eases as Suri gets older.
Honesty, are we shocked they didn't last? No. Isn't religion one of those topics you need to talk about with your partner BEFORE you get married? Isn't religion always a deal breaker? I think it depends on how devout (or not) you are.
I hope these two can keep their word holes shut when it comes to bashing eachother in public so their daughter won't read about it later on TMZ.
For those of us who grew up with videogames, the idea of making a living playing them seems like a dream.
For Graig Kinzler of St. Charles, Illinois its a daily reality. He makes his living playing Golden Tee at his local bar, and he doesn't do to bad, pulling down about $50,000 a year in winnings. He plays around 600 games a month competing against 49 online players with a top prize of only $10, he has to win nearly every game to make a living. The earnings are tracked with a swipe card and every two weeks Kinzler gets a check for around $1,500, and he's not the only one, there are about two dozen men mostly in they're 30's and 40's who earn their living playing Golden Tee which the most popular cash videogame in the U.S.
What an awesome job right? If you could earn a living at a leisure activity what would it be? If I could find a way to make money watching Breaking Bad on DVD I'd be set. - Producer Ryan

I would cry, this guy was in Cape Cod and went out kayaking for the 1st time. He looked behind him and saw a shark fin - the great white shark was 14 feet long and was following him.
"There were hundreds of people on the beach, and they were all at the edge, yelling paddle paddle, paddle!" one beachgoer says.
Walter made it to shallow water in time, before going in the water, he had assured his daughter that the odds of a shark encounter were very low. "I found the odds, and they're not exactly as good as I thought," he says.
"May the odds be ever in your favor...." [Hunger Games]

I am not a movie critic, but here is my review of "The Amazing Spiderman" which opened on Tuesday:
THERE ARE TOO MANY SPIDERS IN IT.
Yes I do realize how dumb that is! I'm one of those people who gets completely creeped out when spiders crawl on screen - I immediately feel as though every tickle is a spider on me somewhere.
Outside of that it was a really fun movie! The last 1st Spiderman (with Toby Maguire) was one of my favorites, and I enjoyed this one just as much. I really think actor Andrew Garfield is talented and will win some awards in the right role. Emma Stone isn't bad to look at either.

A new study shows the most common computer password is....
Password1
Sorry boss, I might have tried this on your computer. :) So, anyways, Password1 is the most common password becasue duh - it passes all of those requirements for an uppercase letter, a number and length.
Really? Password1? That's some amazing hacking.
People increasingly are putting more of their lives online and that exposes us to greater risk of having our passwords stolen. Here are some tips to make your passwords safer.
1. Mix it Up - have 3 phrases you use, switch them up. "Burpsrfunny4u" might be the only thing between you and getting your bank account messed with.
2. Don't use personal info in your password.
3. Don't keep a word document that includes your passwords titled "PASSWORDS".
