What Was Your Biggest Letdown When You Became an Adult?  Here's the Top Eight

What was your BIGGEST LETDOWN when you became an adult?  Some of the more popular answers are:  Having to pay for everything . . . missing your summer vacation . . . still getting pimples . . . and all the stress and cost that comes with owning a house.

1.  You have to pay for EVERYTHING . . . even the stuff you didn't know about, like insurance.

2.  You miss having an entire summer vacation.

3.  Just because you have a salary doesn't mean you have a ton of money to spare.  You can't just throw a thousand dollars around without thinking about it.

4.  You don't stop having pimples.

5.  You don't automatically become wise, mature, or rational.

6.  Having your own house isn't as cool as it sounds.  The buying process is horrible, things are constantly breaking, and the whole thing costs a fortune.

7.  Even though you can buy and eat anything you want, you feel sick and get chubby if you eat a whole box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch every day.

8.  You realize how much your parents did for you, what an INGRATE you were . . . and no matter what you do now, you can't fully make up for it.  (Reddit)

Police Call Off a Massive Hunt For a Dead Body in L.A. . . . When They Realize It's Just a Large "Simpsons" Doll

We don't have a ton of details on this, but we really like the details we DO have.  Yesterday afternoon, a report went out on the police scanner in Los Angeles that a DEAD BODY was spotted in bushes along the side of a freeway.

There was a lot of area to cover, so the LAPD started a massive hunt for the dead body.  They even called in air support to help the search.

But it was all called off less than an hour later, when the officers found out it WASN'T a dead body . . . it was just a, quote, "large 'Simpsons' doll in the bushes."  Unfortunately, we don't know which "Simpsons" character it was.  (RMG News)
