A woman from Zhejiang, China, was understandably freaked out when she spotted her mum in the background of a picture of her husband taken 15 years before they met.

Lu Yiqin, 25, was going through some of her now-husband Zhang Hedong’s childhood pictures and putting them into a photo album ahead of their wedding, when she noticed a familiar figure.

The Photobombing tourist in red turned out to be her mum.

In other words, a 14-year-old Zhang crossed paths with his mum-in-law, over a decade before he met and fell in love with her daughter.

That’s a hell of a picture for the family album.

Do you know as much about cats as you think you do? 

Looking after your feline friend is a difficult job – from getting the right food, making sure you can understand their complex needs and moods and ensuring they have the correct cat littler to please their fussy bums.

And even naming them properly is a challenge in itself. There are good names for cats – and poor names for them too. So put yourself to the test in this fiendishly difficult quiz which will show you a selection of cats.

Can you choose the best name for this selection of pussies? We just know you won’t score full marks…

Whoa. Okay. I think we may have taken our 90s nostalgia a touch too far.

The underlights trend was fun. We were down for icicle hair. Fine, we’d even accept hair gems.

But this is too much. According to multiple sources, crimped hair is a thing once again, and we just don’t think we can take it.

Sure, it looks cool. But don’t you remember how fried and dry our hair became after a few rounds of the crimper? Don’t you remember the struggle of trying to battle the frizz and deal with your crimped hair the… Read the full story

This stunning Snow White, who looks like she’s just walked straight out of a Disney film, is actually a 21-year-old guy called Richard from Orange County, California.

Richard Schaefer, a freelance makeup artist, regularly transforms himself into an array of beautiful Disney princesses, from Snow White to Cinderella, using just his makeup brushes and his contouring skills.

Of course, the perfect creamy complexion helps as well.

Richard started cosplaying as Disney princes and princesses four years ago and says people are always shocked when they discover the picture-perfect real-life princess is in fact a man.

Well, should you? (Picture: Getty/metro.co.uk)

The art of a sensual dick pic is hard to master. It truly is the love letter of our time, and it’s important to get it right.

But one of the biggest struggles men come up against is not lighting, angles, or grooming preferences: it’s when to hit send on their tasteful picture of their semi-erect dick.

Because for some strange reason, sometimes their chosen recipients don’t seem that enthused by a surprise penis photo popping up on their iPhones.

It’s weird, right? Who wouldn’t want to see your dick at all hours of the day? It truly is one of… Read the full story

Public service announcement: If you’ve got a can of olive oil nourishing sheen spray lurking in your kitchen cupboard, it needs to be returned to the bathroom immediately.

Because this is NOT a cooking oil. As it very clearly states on the can, it’s a root stimulator, which gives a healthy shine to ‘thirsty’ hair (ORS sells a similar product). It’s a popular shine treatment for Afro-textured hair.

And it’s probably not going to do anything for your Spag Bol.

Despite what it says on the label, however, it seems people have been mistaking it for cooking oil.

And it’s already gone viral.

Because the story behind the picture is so powerful.

‘I’ve spent the past 18 years of my life waiting,’ Lesley begins her post, which she shared on the Love What Matters page last week.

She goes on to describe a lifelong battle with her body.

Veganism.

More than half a million people in Britain have turned their backs on meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs and honey.

But is it just a fashionable diet fad? And how healthy and achievable is cutting out animal products altogether?

Three Metro.co.uk journalists went cold tofu and took Peta’s 30-Day vegan challenge to find out.

Yvette Caster

I spent most of my vegan challenge very angry because there is milk powder in 99.9% of things.

Bread, flavoured crisps, cakes, biscuits, pizza, even margarine ffs – all off limits except for specific brands you can hardly find anywhere.

If you’ve been anywhere near the internet this week, you’ve probably seen it: a photo of a woman sitting on the subway with her legs crossed, then crossed again, with one ankle neatly tucked under the other.

It started on Imgur, where someone shared the image with the caption: ‘Excuse me would you mind not sitting like that please? Thank you.’

Then news sites started covering it (including metro.co.uk, where we asked: ‘why on Earth would anyone sit like this?‘). Writers overwhelmingly expressed confusion over how and why the anonymous woman would choose to sit like this. Buzzfeed asked where… Read the full story

Are you fed up of tomatoes lying in wait at the bottom of your sandwiches and burgers, slowly turning the whole thing to mush?

Do you hate those cherry tomatoes that get into every goddamn salad and M&S pasta ready-meal?

Do you love pizza, ketchup, tomato soup, pasta sauce and salsa but recoil at the sight of a fleshy, red raw tomato?

Of course you do. Because everyone knows tomatoes are the worst and must be stopped. Seriously. If you don’t believe me, check out the ‘Tomatoes are evil’ Facebook page.

Evil babies play up their cuteness to manipulate adults

Parents, listen up. Your babies are not the little angel dumplings you think they are. They are highly manipulative tiny geniuses who are using their cuteness to take advantage of your good will. Be warned.

A new study from Oxford University reveals that babies deliberately play up their cute behaviour – chubby cheeks, widened eyes, and giggles – to trigger care-giving instincts in the adults in their lives.

And these manipulative techniques aren’t just aimed at parents.

Babies will use their skills on any adult they encounter, whether it’s a babysitter, a friend, or just a random person in the street, to elicit affection and care. And they’re highly effective.

A Reddit user who has been a plastic surgeon for the past 16 years is answering anything and everything other users wish to know about plastic surgery and the surgeries he has performed. 

According to the surgeon, who goes by the username TonyYounMD, he has reconstructed and enhanced over 5,000 faces, breasts and bodies. He also claims to have ‘seen and heard it all’.

Of course, there was the possibility that some may not believe he was an actual surgeon – so he cleared this up with a photo before he got started:

Obligatory Beyoncé reference: ~We’ve been drinkin’ watermelon~

The latest hair dyeing trend to overtake the ‘gram? Super refreshing and perfect-for-summer watermelon hair

Let us explain. Watermelon hair doesn’t involve dyeing your hair with watermelon, or even washing it with watermelon water. The look is all about dying the top part of your hair green (like the outer skin of a watermelon), and the ends pink (like the inside, get it?).

It looks surprisingly good, and we’re kind of obsessed.

Cosmopolitan first spotted the trend on musician Merpire, and since then it’s been popping up EVERYWHERE.

Bed – you relish the times you’re in it, and miss it oh so desperately when you’re away.

Bed is basically life.

But some take that perhaps a bit literally, making bed their all-purpose home. They eat there, work there, watch Netflix all day there.

This might be just the way you like it.

But, it turns out thought there are some things you should definitely avoid… Read the full story
