This year's back-to-school season has new menace: Super Lice. They're like lice...but super.
Scientists have invented a vomiting robot. The machine was created to study how noroviruses work, BUT to paraphrase Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park: these scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.
Earlier today, South Korea and North Korea exchanged fire across their contentious border with North Korea reportedly shooting a rocket, to which South Korea responded by firing a series of artillery shells. The two countries have been experiencing escalating tensions since two South Korean soldiers were wounded on a patrol by land mines that are believed to have been planted by North Korea, possibly in response to a series of military exercises that the South Korean and American military are conducting together in the region.

Yesterday, political watchers everywhere (including us here at Enstars) were captivated by the surprise independent candidate who was polling a full 9 percent against Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton with North Carolina voters.

Regal Cinemas, the largest movie theater chain in America, has announced that it will begin a policy of searching patrons' bags as they enter screenings. Why?

Donald Trump has yet another famous feud. This time it's with Rhonda Rousey.
If you're not following the rape trial of Owen Labrie, you should start.

Watch this: A guy edited a video of his family's recent boating trip in the style of rap video and posted it online. It's awesome.
