Could This Be The Most Upworthy Site In The History Of The Internet?
Hi, we're Upworthy, a new social media outfit with a mission: to help people find important content that is as fun to share as a FAIL video of some idiot surfing off his roof.

NOTE: This is a chain letter. Share it with at least 500 friends right now or someone somewhere will get a horrible disease. (True fact.)
