Oh, this is just the most ah-mazing news!

Former American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi's son was born this afternoon and more than one person helped make this miracle happen!

She and her husband Mike McCuddy struggled to conceive, but a surrogate mother and modern science eventually allowed them to bring Greyson James Carroll McCuddy into the world!

Regardless of which vaginal canal their newborn boy was borne from, we bet today is one of the best days of Kara and Mike's life!

Congratulations, you two!!

Rest up when you can… and don't forget to show us pics of the little man!

What do your kids want for the holidays this year? A collectible plush? The latest video game?

Why not get them the hottest toy of the year 2099 — a helicopter they can fly with their brainwaves!

That's what the people at Puzzlebox are presenting with their brand new Orbit! But how does the crazy thing work?

A headset scans your brainwaves, transmitting the data to a base that remotely controls the helicopter. The pyramid base will also show you a scan of your brainwaves, giving you the chance to learn a little about neuroscience AND re-train your brain!

It'll be the most fun educational toy you ever play with!

Er, your kids we mean. A toy for your kids…

Oh, who are we kidding?! We're getting super powers!

A 12-year-old student did a science project on the cleanliness of fast food restaurants' ice.

She went to several locations and tested the amount of bacteria in their ice compared to their toilet water.

That's absolutely gross and we don't wanna know the results.

But we do. And they're gross.

The toilets were SIGNIFICANTLY cleaner than the ice.

Looks like it's warm drinks for us from now on!

Check out the video (above) to hear just how gross the ice really is.
