The largest cruise ship in the world, Royal Caribbean International’s 236,857 gross ton Wonder of the Seas arrived in the United States to prepare for her maiden voyage March 4th.
The cruise ship, which can accommodate 6,988 passengers and 2,300 crew, is the fifth ship in Royal Caribbean’s Oasis class, with each of the ships larger than any of their rivals. It has 18 decks. (don't you go on a cruise to get away from people???)

Some people like it with the crust off. Others want it cut diagonally or straight across. But no matter how you slice it, everyone loves a good peanut butter sandwich. Some people, however, like it with a little somethin' somethin' added to it: Thick, creamy, tangy mayonnaise.
Yes, that's right, there are people in this world who really do love a peanut butter sandwich smothered with Hellman's or Duke's, and those people are likely from the South.
Erin Hatcher, director of marketing for the C.F. Sauer Company, which happens to make the Southern favorite Dukes Mayonnaise, says that the trend started in economically tough times.
"Peanut butter, bananas, mayonnaise and bread filled hungry tummies when meat was lacking, so it was a way of getting protein, fat and some carbs," she told HuffPost.
Oh..and there's lettuce. (blah)

The notoriously long-winded Oscar ceremony is getting drastically slimmed down in a bid to boost falling ratings. The 94th Academy Awards will present eight additional awards off-air, including film editing, production design, sound, makeup and hairstyling, music (original score) and the three short film awards (documentary, live-action, and animated). The announcement is already getting backlash from movie fans who see the change as a diss to filmmakers. If it's any consolation, those speeches will appear in edited form during the broadcast. (but if the broadcast is still three hours..what's the point?)
