Ball Girl Forgets She's Not Supposed To Catch Foul Balls
I suppose, in the heat of the moment, it's possible to forget that a pop-up is still playable when it is in foul territory. Once baseball players start running right at you, though, I kind of feel like you should know to get out of the way. Not this lady....

How (And Why) To Poach Eggs: A Guide For The Haggard
Poaching eggs is a bit more complicated and delicate—these are nice ways of saying annoying—than frying them or scrambling them or hard-boiling them or throwing them at Rick Reilly, and so the question of how to poach them kinda naturally goes with the question of why to poach them.
