Follow that advice so you don't need to watch this disturbing public service announcement from Northern Ireland's Department of the Environment. The spot shows a group of kindergarten-aged kids on a field trip, set against a mournful version of Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child O' Mine," intercut with another story showing a man getting ready for work and driving off

Often, as the old saying goes, "the more, the merrier." That doesn't apply when we're talking tornadoes (unless, of course, you're a tornado watcher who is anxious for action and a safe distance away)!

It looks like the legend might be true after all. Microsoft has uncovered intact copies of E.T. for the Atari 2600 at a New Mexico landfill, supporting claims that Atari buried legions of unsold cartridges in the desert after the movie-themed game...
