The US Navy is impressive. In terms of battle fleet tonnage, it is larger than the next 13 largest navies combined and operates 285 ships and 3,700 aircrafts. So it makes sense that US Naval ships aren't often captured. In fact, there is only one current US Naval vessel held captive, the USS Pueblo.

In January 1968, in what came to be known as the Pueblo incident or the Pueblo crisis, the North Koreans boarded and captured the USS Pueblo. They claimed that it had strayed into their waters, but the US maintains that they were still in international waters.

North Korea still has possession of the USS Pueblo, but is officially listed as a commissioned vessel of the US Navy. It's anchored in the Taedong River and is used as a museum.

There is a font created for people with dyslexia!

People with dyslexia see mirror images, mixed up, and rotated letters.

To assist in typing and reading online, a software was developed that thickens the bottom of letters so that they are easier to read and harder to confuse!

Other changes made to the letters include widening of gaps in letters, add slight italics to letters to distinguish from one another (like j, l, and d), and bolden punctuation among other things. Here is a video demonstration of the font

This "Breaking Bad" Alternate Ending Must Be Seen To Be Believed

Was it all just a terrible nightmare? Malcolm in the Middle ‘s Hal may have eaten too many fried Twinkies before bed, according to a new DVD extra.

Frank Ockenfels / AMC

Fans of AMC's Breaking Bad continue to mourn the death of the antihero drama in their own unique ways, but thanks to this DVD extra — from the Breaking Bad: The Complete Series DVD box set, out November 26 — fans of the science-wielding antihero have yet another chance to imagine a different fate for Bryan Cranston's Walter White.

In this case, an alternate ending to the show itself, which — heavily borrowing from the iconic ending of Newhart (which referenced the earlier The Bob Newhart Show) — imagines that the entire narrative of Breaking Bad was a dream experienced by Cranston's pater familias Hal from the 2000-2006 Fox comedy Malcolm in the Middle, substituting fried Twinkies for Bob's Japanese food. Waking up terrified from his nightmare, Cranston's Hal remarks that he was "this meth dealer," before being comforted by his wife, Lois (Jane Kaczmarek), who reminds him that he can't cook anything, let alone meth, and that he's definitely not married to a "tall, beautiful blonde" woman.
