There are times in the Despicable Me movies where over 10,000 Minions are shown on screen at once! Considering that they look fairly similar—some nearly identical—it’s almost impossible to keep track of who is who. What are the Minions' names? (And what is a minion anyway? All Minions are short yellow critters that wear overalls and goggles, but we may be finding out more.) If you have seen the movies, you likely remember a few of the Minion names, but do you remember what kind of shenanigans each of the Minions cast gets into? We wanted to prepare you for the Minions movie and other Minions-related escapades, so we created these character profiles for 8 of our main Minion men. Let’s see how well you know your despicable Minions!

Every sport has their "big game" and, usually, it is a grand finale with the best teams competing at the very end of the season to claim the most respected title: champion. But not for NASCAR. Instead, they start the season with the most prestigious race, the Daytona 500, which also offers the largest pay day for the top finishers. For many racecar drivers, their goal is to one day make it to Victory Lane at the Daytona 500. Unfortunately, many of them fall short of this goal due to the difficulty of the track and for some, a string of bad luck. Even though Daytona International Speedway has a reputation for its massive wrecks and high speeds, it isn't the only race track on the NASCAR circuit that drivers have difficulty navigating. We decided to take a look at some of the toughest tracks in NASCAR, along with the drivers who have been fortunate enough to take the most victory laps at each of these raceways.

Planning your next vacation? This map of haunted hotels is a ghost hunter's paradise. Take a tour of the United States and stay in some of the most haunted hotels in each state. You'll have to sleep with one eye open in some of these places so we sincerely hope you don't plan on taking this time to catch up on sleep. The accounts of paranormal activity in each venue varies, but the one thing they all have in common is some of their residents have never checked out. Prepare to see apparitions, be touched in your sleep by ghostly hands, or even levitated. (Okay, that last one sounds pretty cool!) Some of these permanent occupants enjoy playing tricks and others will not hesitate to tell you to get out of their hotel. If you are feeling brave, we've created a printable map with the shortest route to visit all the hotels in the contiguous states. We also did our homework and whipped up an infographic to help you learn a little bit about each of these haunted hotels, including the spookiest rooms to request at each location, in order to best prepare you for your journey!

Halloween is the perfect time of year to dress up the kiddos in themed outfits for their yearly trick-or-treating debut. Matching Halloween costumes for siblings might be the cutest thing we've ever seen. The peanut butter to their jelly, the peas to their carrots, the Wookiee to their Han Solo. They are the best of friends and the younger siblings want nothing more than to be like their older brother or sister. Perhaps the older children will roll their eyes, but when the littles are included, it's enough to make your heart melt. No matter if you have two kids or twelve, we've got tons of costume combinations to make this the best Halloween yet!
