    • Up until early this morning, I considered myself among the biggest fans of the movie 'Toy Story.' It's one of my favorite childhood films, and as far as I'm concerned, it changed the game in animated children's movies. Apparently, at least two other people could argue their case for being the biggest fans of 'Toy Story' who ever lived, and they have the evidence to prove it.

      Teenagers Jonason Pauley and Jesse Perrotta of Arizona created a full-length, live-action re-enactment of the original 'Toy Story' using actual audio from the film. They even got permission from Pixar to upload their version onto YouTube, and boy, did it pay off, because the duo's film is not going unnoticed. Fans of their 'Live Action Toy Story' are showing up in droves, with more than 3.1 million views since the video was originally posted on January 12.

      Pauley and Perrotta met at school and discovered they had a mutual love for the animated classic. To create the set, each boy transformed his room and made it

    • Almost everyone can remember a time when they received bad service at a restaurant. Usually, human error plays a major role in the experience. But what would happen if humans were taken out of the equation? How about making the entire situation a bit more robotic? Well, look no further -- a restaurant known for its service and its food is run almost entirely by a staff of robots.

      Robot Restaurant, located in the Heilongjiang province in China, has been open since last June, and it has been successful. When patrons enter, a robot greets them by extending its mechanical arm and saying, "Earth person, hello. Welcome to the Robot Restaurant." However, welcoming guests to the restaurant is not all the robots do. Robots wait the tables, cook the noodles, and even entertain the patrons by singing to them. As meals are prepared, they are brought out on a conveyor belt, and the waiterbots take it from there.

      The restaurant has gained international fame and has become increasingly popular since

    • Parents with picky eaters may want to listen up. Perhaps a finicky child might be more open to trying new foods after watching a little girl in Japan who's taking the Web by storm. Rino, at 3 years old, energetically enjoys eating foods from around the world that are prepared by her mother.

      The series of videos on YouTube that little Rino appears in, "Rino which eats world various dishes," has become a hit. One of her videos has received more than 170,000 views, and her others continue to draw in an audience as well. There are 19 videos in the series so far, and the series has tallied more than 440,000 views.

      Little Rino has made quite a name for herself through her mature palate and appetite for the dishes her mother prepares. The videos serve as a bit of a cooking demonstration. To help viewers learn more about the foods Rino is enjoying, the flag of the country of origin for each dish is displayed in the background, on a computer monitor.

      Rino is featured enjoying British scones,

    • Reporting the news on live television does not always go perfectly. Every reporter and anchor at one time or another has the misfortune of mispronouncing or flubbing a line or two, but most flubs don't make the reporter famous. That is, unless you're Aengus Mac Grianna, an Irish news anchor for the RTE network in Dublin. Mac Grianna is known for his regular flubs on live T

      His latest slip-up is being called by some of his viewers his best -- or worst, depending on how you look at it. Mac Grianna is seen coming back from a break seated at the anchor desk. Instead of continuing his news read, he appears to be putting on makeup -- seemingly unaware that he is back on the air.

      So far, the YouTube video of Mac Grianna's mistake has gotten more than 47,000 views. One person calls the anchor "the real-life Ron Burgundy." Other viewers chimed in too, one person wrote that Mac Grianna was "really adorable."

      Not surprisingly, this is not Mac Grianna's first error to make him the talk of the day:

    • A Washington couple, Courtney and Harly Forbes, were shocked to learn Monday that their tandem bicycle had been stolen from their front porch while they were sleeping. The couple, who live with Courtney's mother, Kim Turner, in Vancouver, are developmentally disabled and use the bike to get around town. The $900 tandem bike is the only mode of transportation for the two, who do not drive.

      "I don't like riding by myself, because I have anxiety. I like riding with my husband," Courtney said, adding that she is "really upset, sad, and I'm hurt" that the thieves stole their bike.

      A neighbor's security camera, however, captured the thieves riding by on the stolen bike. In the video, three people go past, two of them on bikes, and shortly thereafter, all three ride past---one of them now on what looks like the Forbes's tandem bicycle. The thieves allegedly propped a rocking chair under a doorknob to the house to block anyone inside from opening the front door.
