Well, this is one of the more interesting TIME magazine cover images I’ve seen in awhile.
Sad news in the world of football: TMZ reports that Junior Seau committed suicide with a gunshot to his chest.
Kids are getting wasted by mixing hand sanitizer with mouthwash? Whaaaat? Mr. Wizard never taught me this shit!

Another “group” selection for TIME’s Person of the Year, joining The Whistleblowers (2002), The American Soldier (2003), The Good Samaritans (2005) and You (2006) in recent years.
