The Reddit Question of the day - If you could be given 5,000 of anything that starts with the letter "Y" . . . what would you choose?
1. 5,000 Yen. Unfortunately, that's only $31 in American money.
2. Yetis. Not the tumblers . . . "Nobody messing with me and my Yeti army."
3. Yaks.
4. Yachts. You could open a store and sell 4,999 of them.
5. Yamaha products.
6. Yesterdays . . . "I wish I can get back 5,000 days of my life." (that would take you to October 2010)
7. Yogurts.
8. Yellowfin tuna
9. "Yellow" luxury items: Lamborghinis, houses, suitcases with cash inside.
10. Yams . . . "I'd cut them all in half, plant them, pick them in the spring and repeat the process again. I would then sell my yam farm to the highest bidder and use that money to take your Mom on a date."
11. Years of income.
12. Years of extended warranty on my car.
13. YouTube subscribers.
14. Yoga pants.

A man named Daniel Meissner was arrested after breaking into a garage in North Dakota this week.
He told police he was riding his bike home from work, when he saw the garage door was almost fully open, and there was a bag of animal crackers inside.
He was hungry, so he stopped . . . saying he only intended to grab the animal crackers. Police searched his backpack and found a container with marijuana . . . a lock pick tool . . . multiple wrenches and craftsman gear . . . and two pairs of women's underwear. Daniel claimed those were his girlfriend's.
There's no word what he's been charged with.

5-Hour Energy just unveiled a new product for summer, caffeinated Peach Mango Barbecue Sauce.
It's not clear if they're planning to sell it, but they're giving away 12-ounce bottles through their website.
Seems they are giving them away on every Tuesday.
Each serving has 60 milligrams of caffeine, or about as much as a weak cup of coffee. An average cup has 95, and a can of Coke has 34.
Their press release says it's part of their plan to "redefine what 5-hour Energy is and can be." And they're excited to be the first energy brand to offer a "caffeinated sauce" that helps you "stay focused and keep the party going."

Another Summer weekend is here, and we want you to stay safe. Here are five potentially dangerous things related to summer.
1. Insect bites. Mosquitos and ticks can carry different diseases, like Zika and Lyme disease.
2. Dehydration and heatstroke. Heat kills more people each year than tornados, hurricanes, floods, or cold weather.
3. Sunburns. They can be deadly in the long run because of skin cancer. Sunscreen is a must if you're going to be in the sun for any amount of time.
4. Drowning. More than 4,000 people drown every year. About 20% of them are kids under the age of 14.
5. Food poisoning. It's more common in summer. Partly because people handle raw meat when they're grilling, and don't always wash their hands.

In a new survey of American adults, 69% say seeing their partner cleaning is a big turn-on.
They didn't ask what type of cleaning . . . but it seems like it's general home cleaning, like mopping the kitchen floors, vacuuming, dusting, putting things away, and scrubbing the bathroom.
Gen Z and Millennials are more likely to say they'd rather receive "the gift of a clean house" than something expensive, like jewelry or electronics.
And among women, twice as many say they prefer "the smell of a clean home" over the smell of fresh flowers.
Overall, 67% of people say a "clean, fresh-smelling home" would make them more likely to "get fresh with a partner." And 79% say the cleanliness of someone's home affects how they view them as a person.

A kid from Long Island is heading off to NYU this year. Which wouldn't be news, except he's only TWELVE.
His name is Suborno Bari. (Soo-born-oh Barry) He skipped 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, and 11th grade. He plans to study math and physics.

Wanna make it to 100? A study found three things that all up your chances by over 20%.
None of them will shock you, but it's interesting. The study found even getting better about them in your 70s or 80s can up your chances of hitting 100. Here are the three habits . . .
1. Don't smoke. People in the study who never smoked were 25% more likely to make it to 100 than smokers.
2. Exercise. Even if you've never worked out, doing it NOW can help. People who get regular exercise are 31% more likely to hit 100.
3. Eat a diverse diet. That means healthy things, like fruits and veggies . . . NOT hitting five different fast food places a week. Eating a diverse selection of healthy foods can up your odds of hitting 100 by 23%.
The study found two surprising things might NOT make a big difference though. Body mass index and drinking weren't significant factors.
