| Posted: 02 Oct 2016 04:00 AM PDT There are some things that are hard to explain to children. But you can make it easy on yourself with some quick thinking. My family drove past a local store with a large sign that said “Adult Store.” My daughter was learning to read and said, “Adult store? That’s not fair!”  | ||||||||
| 1920s London Underground Posters Posted: 02 Oct 2016 02:00 AM PDT Once upon a time, a long time ago, people had to be encouraged to use the subway. In the 1920s, a variety of posters urged Londoners to use the Underground. These gorgeous art deco designs reminded travelers that it’s cool down there in the summer and warm down there in the winter. You can go places! That’s all well and good, but the eye-popping art makes these posters things of beauty. See 26 posters at io9. | ||||||||
| 8-bit Cinema Presents <i>Stranger Things</i> Posted: 02 Oct 2016 12:00 AM PDT The Netflix show Stranger Things is a real hit, with its creepy story and its ‘80s vibe. So the folks at 8-bit Cinema saw it as as a perfect story to recreate in old-school video game style. (Yes, I know their style is 16-bit, but they chose the name.) This probably contains spoilers for season one, I don’t know. It’s going to be a long wait for season two, but fan videos like this might help carry you through. -via Geeks Are Sexy | ||||||||
| North Korea Accidentally Revealed Their Internet To The World Posted: 01 Oct 2016 10:00 PM PDT Talk about North Korean internet in conversation and people are likely to chuckle, thinking you're making some sort of ironic joke statement about the country's lack of freedom. But North Korea actually has access to an internet of sorts, which the rest of the world was given a glimpse when "one of North Korea’s top level nameservers was accidentally configured to allow global DNS zone transfers." The accidental unveiling was shared on a GitHub data dump, which was naturally linked to by Reddit, and the world was given a glimpse of the 28 websites which make up the North Korean Net. There's a social media site called "Friend", a tour-booking site, the Kim Il Sung University webpage, a maritime administration page, a sports page, a spiritual guidance page and this "news" site: As expected the sites are pretty lackluster and antiquated looking compared to the rest of the World Wide Web, and also as expected there wasn't one porn site or one site that didn't mention their Glorious Leader.

| Posted: 01 Oct 2016 08:00 PM PDT Alex says this is a true story. His daughter had her first slumber party last night and he had to go check the weird noise twice. So he made the experience into a comic. This is just part of being a parent. You have to put on a brave face to reassure your kids, and of course, to appear the hero. I’ve put on a brave face to investigate so many bugs, spiders, random creatures, strangers, weird noises, smells, and monsters under the bed that nothing scares me anymore. Alex says the majority of his comics at Narcolepsy Inc. are drawn from real life. | ||||||||
| The 8 Creepiest Places In <i>Fallout 4</i> Posted: 01 Oct 2016 06:00 PM PDT The Fallout universe is one of the most realistic post-apocalyptic worlds in all of pop culture, thanks largely to the amazing and visually appealing environments. Part of what makes the environments in Fallout so appealing is the attention to detail and the stories told by each location, stories that give us chills while we uncover the mystery. Fallout 4 continues the tradition of including almost too much detail to each location in the game, making it easier than ever before to miss key story elements while exploring. So Curse Entertainment uncovered all the creepy details of places like Pickman's Gallery, The Museum Of Witchcraft and Sandy Coves Convalescent Home for us, virtual locations that will truly haunt your dreams.

| The Killer Clowns Sweeping America Posted: 01 Oct 2016 04:00 PM PDT From South Carolina to upstate New York, and as far west as Missouri, police are getting reports of creepy clowns trying to lure children into the woods. The spread of such stories may remind you of the flying saucer craze in the 1950s, Bigfoot in the ‘60s, or the satanic daycare stories in the ’80s. An article at Rolling Stone gives an overview of current killer clown epidemic. You’d think that people would be more skeptical of such reports, but the 21st century has something that the earlier hoaxes did not: millions of people with cameras ready to record something that might go viral on the internet. A killer clown is also an opportunity to scare someone you know with an easy prank. And a creepy tale to pass along.
The full Facebook post details his investigation, which pretty much uncovers all the reasons one might see a killer clown in Rolla. Besides, you know, viral marketing for a movie about a killer clown. Or another movie. Or even a short film. (Image credit: Rolla Police Department) | ||||||||
| Parodies That Succeeded Because Nobody Got The Joke Posted: 01 Oct 2016 02:00 PM PDT Parodies are a pop culture staple, because they're a fun way for artists and creators to tip their hat to (or make fun of) other artists and creators in a way that ensures viewers are in on the joke too. But sometimes people completely miss the reference, or just don't see it as scathing like the parodist intended, and every once in a while the parody is just so well done it takes on a life of its own. Chuck Jones tried his hand at parody when he created Wil E. Coyote and the Roadrunner, predator and prey locked in an over-the-top battle that was supposed to make fun of Tom & Jerry. Unfortunately for Chuck his characters were just too darn likeable, and while he was going for a "see how stupid chase cartoons are?" vibe audiences saw it as a new take on the trope and ate it up. Ironically, Chuck would later go on to create some of the most popular Tom & Jerry cartoons of all time, and people are still unaware that Wil E. and the Roadrunner are meant to be a parody.

| Posted: 01 Oct 2016 12:00 PM PDT Hmm, that car is riding a bit low. The suspension is either shot or will be by the time the car gets here. Oh, it’s got too many people in there. There’s more? Yeah, there’s always more. Where do these guys work, Ringling Brothers? Sure, it’s staged, but the execution was perfect, and it couldn’t have been all that easy to do. The final result made me giggle. -via reddit | ||||||||
| Be Our Guest With This Great <i>Beauty and the Beast</i> Trivia Posted: 01 Oct 2016 10:00 AM PDT Disney's Beauty and the Beast was a magical musical, but did you know that it was originally envisioned in 1930 as a non-musical film? And did you know that Belle's choice of a blue dress was more than just a fashion choice? And can you guess how many different animals the Beast's character design was based on? In celebration of the film's 25 anniversary release, Zimbio has collected all kinds of charming trivia bits about the movie and you can read them all here. | ||||||||
| Angler Light - They Hate To Dine In The Dark Posted: 01 Oct 2016 08:00 AM PDT Fish live in horror of being eaten by an angler fish, and yet they can't resist going towards the enticing light of its lantern whenever they see its glow coming their way. In this way the angler fish's lantern acts as a hypnotic device, holding the curious fish in place until the ever hungry angler can move in close enough to gobble up its prey. You'd think fish schools would start teaching the young ones about the danger that lantern represents, but every time they start instituting predator-based lessons an angler fish comes along and eats the teacher! You'll make a lasting impression on people when they see you wearing this Angler Light t-shirt by Lizz Ford, it's one fish story you can prove by pointing at your chest! Visit Lizz Ford's Facebook fan page and official website, then head on over to her NeatoShop for more wondrous designs:

| Posted: 01 Oct 2016 08:00 AM PDT Robert Smalls was good at what he did, so good that he was eventually faced with a dilemma. He could risk his life -and the lives of his family and crew- in a complicated scheme that could go wrong at any second. Or he could sit out the war and possibly spend the rest of his life as a slave. After meticulous preparations, he jumped at a sudden opportunity with no room for error. Robert Smalls’ escapade during the Civil War is so exciting that it should’ve been made into a movie long ago, but it’s not even included in school history books. Read more about the hijacking of the Planter and Smalls’ accomplishments afterward in a previous post. | ||||||||
