The children's mother had apparently locked her keys inside the car by accident. According to the Fox affiliate in Houston, the woman seen climbing through the broken car window in cell phone video from the scene is the mother—previous reports had erroneously stated that she had left the children in the car while she got a haircut.

A new CDC survey suggests the U.S.'s LGB population is smaller than suspected: "96.6% of adults identified as straight, 1.6% identified as gay or lesbian, and 0.7% identified as bisexual.

Six nights ago, I sat in our bedroom on the third floor with the window open. You were already asleep. The night breeze carried the voices of a cabal of teen boys walking beneath. There is a steep grassy hill behind our building. I never take you to play there. The earth is uneven and I don't trust the improbability of a long hard tumble. But I've always found it a beautiful space, open and green among the brick, steel and concrete, tree-lined, flowering branches blushing white and pink each spring with the promise of growth. It is usually quiet there after nightfall, or it has been during most of the 27 years my grandmother has lived here. But things are changing. The boys were raucous but stealthy, their voices at once overloud and vanquished altogether.

And that's all you need to know about whether or not this clip is for you, because really it is all about gaining access to a four-ton elephant's penis. And extracting sperm from it, while the elephant dozes gently. And measuring it (1 meter, 40 centimeters). And its "natural searching response," which causes it to jump like a fire hose being turned on. And stimulating the elephant's prostate.

Robin Thicke has tried to move on from the controversy over "Blurred Lines," releasing a smash-hit plea for his wife to take him back (54 copies sold in Australia!), but Thicke's biggest hit is still right in the sweet spot for a Weird Al parody.
