Rifca Stanescu, a Romanian woman who became a grandmother two years ago at the ripe old age of 23, claims to be the world's youngest grandmother. Both she and her daughter had their first children at 12.

In 2006, NASA launched two satellites into solar orbit in opposite directions. On Sunday, they reached their final destinations, on opposite sides of the sun—giving us, for the first time in history, a picture of the entire sun.

[This is the sun, as photographed in ultraviolet by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory. That huge plasma loop in the lower left? It's a solar prominence, around 400,000 miles long. Video of it forming below.]

Angeles Duran, a 49-year-old Spanish woman, has claimed ownership of the sun. You know, the sun? In the sky? The bright one? Yeah, she wants to start charging for its use.

Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid newspaper The Sun this week bought the Russian parasailing donkey, Anapka, after video of the animal hit the internet, upsetting many of its readers. "Our readers were deeply moved," correspondent Garry O'Shea told the AP.

Here's a story about a man who got his balls waxed for charity in an English pub. When they pulled off the wax, six layers of skin came off and he almost lost his balls. Thanks, The Sun! (pic shutterstock)

The Way We Live Now: Like Poors. Have you enjoyed being a member of the Middle Class—nay, Upper Middle Class? We sincerely hope so, because you are now evicted. Time to move to Florida.

Wills to the rescue! That means Britain's Prince William was pretending to rescue victims of a knife-wielding hurricane as part of a Royal Navy exercise. No one was actually rescued by anyone. Except the black guy on the far left of the boat, who was rescued from this photo op by the editors of Rupert Murdoch's Sun…

The UK Sun is perhaps the paper that gives the best indication of Rupert Murdoch's schemes and aspirations. It's based almost entirely on unrepentant nativism, anti-Continental prejudice, breathless violent crime reportage, immigrant/pedophile fear-mongering, celebrity abuse, royal family adoration, and T&A.

Teabagging musician Moby has announced that he wants to marry Britney Spears. It's a revelation that comes a year too late in our opinion. (Can you imagine the bald wedding photos and horrible double-header jokes on Leno?) "She's like this Tennessee Williams tragic figure," he tells The Sun. "The fatter she gets,…

Rupert Murdoch, the man in whose soft pillow hands the world's largest media empire rests, is none too pleased with one of his minions, the British tabloid The Sun.
