Don’t you just hate it when you’re at a party and start making out with a cute guy or girl, only to later discover at a family picnic that they’re actually your cousin? As it turns out, accidentally hooking up with a relative happens so frequently in Iceland that there is an official database, called Íslendingabók or “The Book of Icelanders,” that traces the family lineage of 720,000 Icelandic citizens.
Three engineers have taken it upon themselves to digitize the book, creating an app that helps prevent Icelanders from accidentally sleeping with their extended family. If you meet a hottie out at a party, you can simply bump your phones together to find out whether or not you’re related. The tagline for this helpful app? “Bump the app before you bump in bed.”

World Book Night is scheduled for this Tuesday, and 25,000 volunteers will gather to distribute free books to “light and non-readers across America.” Last year, our own Edan Lepucki participated in the event and wrote about it for our site. However this year, if you’d like to participate on your own, you can enter the organization’s book giveaway to receive “5 free WBN editions to share with others.” Get out there and spread some literary love.

Training young warriors to compete
It’s a fine balance, teaching your kid to be ruthless enough to survive/succeed…but not to be so ruthless that he/she’s an insufferable asshole.

Achoo!
This is the time of year when Claritin stakeholders cover the floors of their mansions with $100 bills and roll around, laughing maniacally.
Remember, fair tourists, stand to the right, walk to the left - and don’t just stop and stand there in the middle of the sidewalk!

And with a magic spray-tan and etiquette lessons, the wunderkind was transformed and ready for love…
