Situations When It's OK to Tell a White Lie
We all know it's not okay to lie, but in some situations, it can be a lifesaver. If someone in the hotel lobby asks you if you're traveling alone, always tell them: "No, I'm with my friends." The same rule works for planes, trains, and any other transportation. If you ever need directions, and someone offers to walk you to the place, politely reject that offer: "I know how to get there." If you notice a flat tire after a visit to your favorite store or restaurant, go back in and ask someone to help you.

What If We Had Four Arms Instead of Two
Why do mammals have four limbs? Imagine this. You're speaking on the phone holding it in your left hand, looking at the watch on your right one, sipping from a cup of coffee in your third hand, and opening your laptop to turn on a new Bright Side video with your fourth hand.

This way, amphibians could move through the mud. The further these amphibians went, the more their fins looked like legs. But what if evolution had changed its course a little?

Wiggs, 80-year-old dog trainer, thought it was time for the dog sled to evolve and created his muttmobile.
