Of all the principals ever featured on a TV show, here are the ten most memorable.” w/ photos

“While some foodies love to cook, and others go to fine restaurants, NYC-based Erik Trinidad expresses his love of all things edible by taking fast food menu items from restaurants like McDonald’s and Taco Bell, turning them into gourmet-looking meals and posting the results on his site FancyFastFood.com.

“From the moment we first perceived a city floating free in the air like a spaceship, but not quite in space, we knew the way that we wanted to live in the future. Why bother with all the problems of dealing with mountains, rivers and swamps and the inevitable floods and rockslides that accompany them when you can literally rise above it all? There are two basic classifications of sky cities. One is the true sky city that floats in the sky with no need to contact the surface below. The other, ‘partial’ sky city is one that maintains a tenuous connection to the earth… Someone needs to get working on making these things a reality, stat.” w/ photos

“Sometimes comic book writers come up with a great character – the powers are all there, the backstory, the design – and then they go to name them. Now, I’m not talking about their real name, but their alter-ego. Sometimes all the amazing powers in the world don’t matter when you saddle a character with a terrible name. Sometimes they fix this for the character down the line, but often the character is stuck with this name for as long as they’re in print. Here are some of the best (worst) ones I could think of.” w/ photos

“It’s been over 25 years since the release of Ghostbusters starring Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Rick Moranis, Sigourney Weaver and a green blob named Slimer.  Still, after all this time, whenever somebody asks, “Who You Gonna Call?” you’re inner child says, “Ghostbusters!” The movie has made over $500 million to date and continues to be a classic for fans of comedy, science fiction and big blockbuster movies… But of all the wackiness, action and gadgets in Ghostbusters, most would agree that it would not have reached legendary heights without the talent of one man, Bill Murray, aka Peter Venkman – and here are 15 awesome moments to prove it.” w/ photos + videos

“Mistakes. We’ve all made ’em. Some of us more than others. Rock stars are not immune to the embarrassment of a glorious clanger, and sometimes these little whoopsies, wonky notes and unwanted warbles can even make their way onto vinyl/tape/mp3 for all the world to hear. Sometimes they make it through to the listener intentionally, and sometimes they sneak by purely by accident, but however they get to us they’re part of what makes rock and roll so much fun, and what keeps kids wedged between a set of headphones when they probably should be studying. So here are 10 of the greatest mistakes that made it to tape.” w/ videos

“The first sword appeared during the Bronze Age. It was made of copper and was uncovered at the Harappan sites in present-day Pakistan. By the Middle Ages iron and steel swords were being mass produced and used in battle. Soldiers were trained in swordsmanship and prepared for combat. It was before the era of guns and high powered artillery and face to face fighting was the norm. During this time in history, all of the royal generals, kings, and emperors owned personal swords. These weapons were manufactured by the greatest sword makers of the time. Many historical manuscripts document events surrounding significant swords. This article will be examining ten world famous swords that still survive today.” w/ photos
