A campaign to diversify the American currency, by a group called Women on 20s, has concluded their online petition to replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. The campaign, which quickly went viral last month, offered supporters the opportunity to vote on who they would like to see on a twenty dollar bill.
The first round of voting had people choose from 15 women to four finalists, with Harriet Tubman, Wilma Mankiller, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Rosa Parks making the cut. In the final round of voting, Harriet Tubman received the highest number of votes — 118,328. Eleanor Roosevelt came in second place with 111,227 votes. Over 300,000 people took part in the votes.
Woman Tries To Smuggle Groceries Worth $100 In Her Vagina From Walmart Store?
I couldn't believe my eyes when I read the news that Holly Fray was arrested after she attempted to smuggle up to $100 worth of groceries out of a WalMart store by hiding them in her vagina! I just had to confirm if it was real news, because let's face it, how deep/wide/big can one vagina be? It turns out to be a hoax and all competely fake and made up.
Snopes calls this report a work of fiction. The damning part of the story is that the picture of "Holly Fray" [above] included with the article is actually a photograph of California death row inmate Janeen Marie Snyder. Snopes also found out the article was first published by Empire News, and was then republished by viral web sites including Huzlers and Daily Viral Stuff. Empire News is a fake news website whose disclaimer states that all articles are "intended for entertainment purposes only." Read the funny story below...

Woman Discovers She's 8 Months Pregnant - After Boyfriend Felt Baby Kick
Abby Wake was surprised to learn last week that she is eight months pregnant. The California woman had no idea she was pregnant until her boyfriend Gorman felt a kick and an ultrasound at a hospital revealed she was 32 weeks along. She said she and her boyfriend believed she was just a little bloated. Wake is lactose intolerant and has an irregular period, and thought movements in her tummy were from gas.
Her Australian boyfriend Jarryd Gorman was the one who finally suspected pregnancy after he felt Wake's stomach at a concert. Dr. Payman Joseph confirmed the baby news to the surprised couple, saying “it is more common than most people think." The doctor however added that Wake is “very thin compared to a lot of the other women that I’ve seen this in."

Having Too Much Sex Can Get You Depressed - Quality Is Better Than Quantity
For those who think having even more sex would make you happy, thinking there's nothing like "too much sex" might be a myth! A new report claims sex can get too much, and more sex does not necessarily make people happier. Scientists discovered that increasing the amount you usually have could actually induce minor depression.
According to Tech Times, an academic team has just published the findings from its extensive research "between the sheets". The researchers from Carnegie Mellon University said that while people with healthy sex lives are generally happy, it's not necessarily linked to the amount of sex they're having.
