Photographer takes photos of same people commuting for nine years and man is it depressing

Often you'll here liars people utter the phrase “I'm a morning person!” Let's get one thing straight – no one on earth is a morning person. You can put on a fake smile, act like you're full of energy and fast-pace walk to work with that Venti Pike from Starbucks in hand all you want, you're not fooling anyone. Except Jim Harbaugh, I actually do think he attacks the day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind.
Don't believe me? Well, a Danish photographer Peter Funch put this theory to the test in his book 42nd and Vanderbilt, taking photos of the same strangers exiting Grand Central Station and commuting to work in New York City over a nine-year period. With the help of his incredible attention to detail, you'll find that for the most part, people tend to stick to the same morning routine, over and over and over again, and my goodness is it depressing. Take a look at a few samples:

Any 90s kid will appreciate these Rugrats-inspired Reptar Bars being sold

Odds are, if you clicked on this article, you spent an extended amount of time in the 90s watching Rugrats on Nickelodeon, either because you were a 90s kid and your parents put you in front of the TV or because you were a parent oddly entertained while you sat with your toddler, who watched the popular cartoon series.
And if you watched the show for any more than one episode, you're probably familiar with the power of the Reptar brand through the Rugrats airwaves.

(Guilty…we're not so proud that we're capable of singing the Reptar Cereal commercial verbatim, or better yet, the dialogue on the episode where the kids go see Reptar on Ice.)
It appears that FYE, For Your Entertainment, has realized the strength of that Reptar brand — and the store is bringing what was once just a cartoon creation — the Reptar Bar — to life as a real consumer product.
The holidays are coming up, so if you have a Mille..

UConn student watches Red Sox get eliminated in class, gets A+ in Despair 101

Live streaming has probably made the world a much worse place, but when it comes to sports, it's one of the greatest innovations of our time. If you have a smartphone or laptop and a good Wi-Fi connection, it's basically like having a flatscreen television with you at all times, much to the dismay of your bosses, professors and wives.
For this particular UConn student, live streaming came up clutch in a big way on Monday, when his beloved Boston Red Sox took on the Houston Astros in game four of the ALDS. I'm sure when he saw that first pitch was at 1:08 p.m., he panicked, knowing it coincided with class. Never fear, Fox Sports Go is here.
The problem with this is, October baseball can tend to get very emotional, and class is probably not the best place to watch your favorite team in an elimination game. But you gotta do what you gotta do. Unfortunately for this poor sap, a fellow student happened to pull out his phone and film him watching the final out. As Dustin Pedro..
