Gary Cole, a federal prison inmate in Northern Texas, has filed a lawsuit against Taco Bell because he says he invented the concept of the ridiculously popular Doritos Locos Taco.

And Taco Bell and Frito-Lay stole it from him.

According to a 35-page handwritten complaint, Cole insists he came up with nine product ideas in 2006.

The second on the list was titled "Taco Shells of All Flavors (Made of Doritos)" and the document says he submitted it to Janice B Cole and Keoiana K. Cole four years later. It's unclear who these people are.

You often hear anecdotes of animals being able to experience and express humanlike emotions, and we sometimes see signs of this in our own pets.

This would be one of those times.

Eva Armstrong, a director of Badass Brooklyn Animal Rescue, heads a volunteer-run rescue group that has saved more than 800 dogs to date.

On a recent trip to a high-kill "shelter" in Alabama, volunteers rescued a dachshund they named Captain Morgan because he had only one eye.

The night he was rescued, Captain Morgan slept at the foot of Eva's hotel bed. She took care of him until he was adopted by a family months later.

This video of a girl tweaking out of her mind at the store kinda says it all:

Don't do crystal meth, kids. Even if Breaking Bad is an awesome show.

As you can see, her behavior at Walmart? Not exactly normal here.

As for why the guy filming this behavior subjected his KID to it?

Rachael Clark is a straight-A student graduating from the University of Maryland this year, getting married this summer, and making plans beyond that.

She is preparing to write book about adoption; to pursue a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy; to become a mom to at least four kids.

Not bad for a young woman who was tragically left in a dumpster, sealed in a dark garbage bag, on the day she was born in September 1989.

“Some days, it’s like it never happened,” Rachael told NBC's Today. “But some days, I really do struggle. I have such strong abandonment issues.”

Being tossed into a dumpster and left for dead with her umbilical cord and placenta still attached will do that - but Clark insists she is not bitter.

Charles Darwin (1809-1882) was generations ahead of his time, courting controversy, bequeathing to us the theory of evolution and shifting the zeitgeist of modern science.

His "survival of the fittest" and "law of the jungle" are phrases so commonplace today that even young children would have some idea of their meaning.

However, according to The Guardian, there are holes in Darwinian biology. A prime example: The “tree of life” he drew in his famous notebooks.

New research suggests this concept could actually be wrong.

The tree of life portrayed how species are interlinked, and what the whole exercise meant to show was that natural selection is the engine of evolution.

The latest experiments by geneticists show otherwise.
