Our Fun Fact Friday fact is all about testicles.  Nuts. Balls. Scrotes. You get the picture. Did you know a Kenyan man, Forence Owiti Opiyo, who had the world's largest testicles just had a successful reconstructive surgery?  His gonads swelled to ten...
Memorial Day is a big deal to veterans, not because it's our day but because it's the day where we remember those who never made it back. Remembrance is the reason Happy Memorial Day from MING. Set your clock for 2:55...
