There are some people so famous (or maybe infamous) that their contemporaries realize they should probably hang onto their bodies after death. Or, at the very least, they should hang on to the good parts. On this short list: an eyeball (or both), an entire skeleton, a brain, and a penis. Yes, a penis. And...

Pixar movies are, in a lot of people’s minds, equal to or greater than the Disney originals that sprinkled our childhoods. In fact, kids born in the past decade may identify more with the Toy Story characters, Monsters, Inc, or even Cars than the would with Disney classics like The Lion King or Aladdin.  Hard...

It seems that I can’t get enough of the weird jokes that proliferate on the Internet. If it makes me snort, I’m in. Nevermind if it’s nerdy, geeky, some combination of the two, or just downright silly. If it’s odd and it has me in an unexpected fit of giggles, I’m fine with letting my...

It might surprise you to learn that there are some people on the Internet who attempt to be polite – at least until they can’t take it anymore. And that’s exactly the point these 12 ladies reached before grabbing their devices and hopping on Tumblr to lose their shit on the world. Well deserved, I...

The world we live in today is a paradox in many ways – we grow more connected by our devices and the internet, and yet these advancements rid us of any requirement for face-to-face interaction, and so we feel more isolated than ever. A hundred years ago (heck, 50 years ago) we interacted every single...

Pretty much everyone carries around a nice camera these days, considering the quality of the ones built into our mobile devices. That said, many people still fork over quite a bit of cash to get professional photos done at least once a year, because great-looking pictures require great training, knowledge, and equipment…right? Well, according to...

Oh, summer. We love your sweet treats, lazy days, and the hours spent at the pool. Your mosquitoes, humidity, and sweat-inducing temperatures, not so much. But whether you’re sorry to see summer go or gleefully skipping into fall, let’s take a moment to give summer a proper send off. With #SummerSongs. Obviously. 15. The sun...

There’s a good chance that at some time in your life you’ve managed to lose or misplace a treasured object. That feeling in the pit of your stomach when you’re sure you’ll never see it again is one of the least fun experiences of being human (in my humble opinion). So you can see why...

Okay, maybe I’ve been watching too much Stranger Things, but these 7 people disappeared so completely – no trace whatsoever – that the upside-down seems as likely a culprit as anything else. I don’t know about you, but disappearance stories really creep me out. If you’re the same, buckle up…and maybe don’t scroll through this...

Do you believe in ghosts? That’s a question you’ve surely been asked more than once in your life, and regardless of how you answer the question, I find that it almost always leads to interesting conversation. For my part, I definitely believe in…something. Energy that’s left behind, perhaps? I don’t really know, but I’ve experienced...

I’ve always thought that people who grow up with certain prejudices probably haven’t spent much time with persons who are different than themselves. Discrimination and prejudice are born and nurtured at home, after all, so maybe the only way to change that way of thinking is to step outside of your inner circle and meet...

These days, people who are Type A – ambitious, goal-oriented, competitive to-do list makers and tacklers – are likely to announce the distinction with pride. After all, Hollywood has glorified the personality type with some pretty awesome characters, like Leslie Knope, Olivia Pope, Amy Santiago, Captain Kirk, and the list goes on and on. Today,...

Did you get to see the total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017? I am lucky enough to live in a place that experienced totality, and boy, from the shared experience to watching the night bugs come out in the middle of the day, the whole thing turned out to be even cooler than I...

If you follow Jimmy Fallon’s hashtag game, then you know that he really enjoys asking his viewers to rap about different things. Now that fall is in the air, pumpkin spice lattes are at Starbucks, and yes, football teams are back in action, #footballraps is a natural fit. And even if you’re not a fan...

It, the horror movie based on the Stephen King novel of the same title, premiered in Australia yesterday – September 7, 2017. In the days ahead of the release, Sydney residents have been finding red balloons tied to sewer grates around the city (a references to the sewer-dwelling, dancing, homicidal clown, Pennywise), in some instances...
