Has bingo turned to the Dark Side? When Darth Bingo is at the Big Wheel who knows what number he'll use the force to stop at. One thing is for sure, this photo already has us at GV HQ envisioning James Earl Jones calling out bingo numbers with great style. (No offense, Dickie!)

Distinguishing Personality Traits

Stephney1 says, "I have had these two geese for a year now. In this photo Spazman is standing on my back, while Shygirl is trying to talk to me. Whenever I come home and yell "Mom!" they immediately squawk back. They don't like any of the other animals coming in or near their pen. When I let them out to run the yard and swim in the pool, they act like they own the place! I chase them down telling them I'm gonna get their butts, and they run for their pen."

We're pretty sure anyone that jumps from a perfectly good airplane has to be a little "off". But Adam Morgan steps it up in this video by not only jumping, but also solving a Rubik's Cube in free fall! Do YOU have that level of concentration?

Distinguishing Personality Traits

Mcbrad says, "This is a photo of Lady, our 6-month-old 3 lb. Chihauhau and Freckles, our 1-year-old Austrialian Sheherd that we got from a rescue organization. We had just gotten the little Lady about three months before this picture was taken and as you can see they love each other very much. We are avid pet lovers who have rescued many and still have them all. And no, they are not spoiled."
