“Star Trek presents us with a glittering, hopeful future full of worldwide peace and cooperation, scientific achievement, and universal discovery. It’s a utopian society wherein all races and genders are considered equal. However, there are some horrible implications behind all the awesome technology and progressive ideology that are never addressed, probably because they make everyone in Star Trek look like incompetent goofs, closeted racists, or burgeoning sociopaths.” w/ photos

“Fads are almost never a good thing, but rarely are they ever truly harmful. We dump a few hundred bucks into Tamagotchis, Beanie Babies, or Rubik’s Cubes, and then the craze is over and we put all that crap in a shoebox to confuse our future grandchildren. However, some fads have poisoned thousands, started wars, and enslaved entire nations, all for the sake of some dumbass thing people wanted to ride, wear, or eat.” w/ photos

“There is little in life that I enjoy more than the simple knowledge of how completely not old I am.’ And then one day, out of the blue, you’ll have a horrifying realization that people have stopped viewing you as an ultra cool, iconic masterpiece of sexuality… now you’re just some kid’s parent. An annoying teacher. The asshole supervisor. There will be no warning.” w/ photos

“But no matter what metaphor you use to describe the United States’ heterogeneous origins, there are nonetheless those facets of American culture that are widely regarded as uniquely (and sacredly) American. Well, guess what? They came from everywhere else, too.” w/ photos

“Everyone is familiar with those shows where animal control is called to take home dangerous animals, such as alligators or bats. Depending on where you live, that sort of thing may be perfectly normal to you. But these stories are examples of animals that were arrested by the actual police, actually being detained in prison. The crimes the animals in the article are being accused of vary greatly in severity, measuring from something as low as vagrancy, all the way up to espionage, with a lot in between.” w/ photos

“Every respected scientist will be able to tell you that there is a direct relationship with how small something is, and how adorable it is. Kittens, mini coopers, babies, hell even baby shoes are so adorable it will cause a person’s voice to jump several octaves up. But grizzly bears, hummers, fat guys etc. just don’t have the same effect, impressive as they are. So here are ten animals so ridiculously tiny, it’s hard to believe they were ever even spotted.” w/ photos

“…these promised (and delivered by wireless connection) lands have demons, too, and just like in every predictable science fiction story, the real monsters were inside us all along. Six types of gamer take a world where we literally play with a global supercomputer network and piss all over it. We only wish they tried that physically. At least then they’d get the high voltage burns they deserve, where they deserve them.” w/ photos

“The big hoax has never been easier to achieve, and these days, a little cynicism is only smart. But in a strange twist, it turns out the cynics – and everyone in their address books – might be missing some really great stuff. Even the craziest stories can turn out, on occasion, to be worthy of a mass-forward. Here, 10 tales that can’t be true – the irony is too perfect, the romance too romantic, the absurdity over the top. And yet, here we are.” w/ photos

“That’s one of the best thing about kids’ shows: the awesome mentor/teacher figure, there to help shape you into who you’re meant to be. Who wouldn’t want that type of meaningful guidance in their life? Unfortunately, some of the mentors from those shows actually ruined their hero, rather than aided them. Maybe they didn’t mean to, but ignorance is never a valid excuse.” w/ photos

“OK, it’s the most important day of your life and you can wear whatever the heck you want, but does it need to be that off the wall? Some people dream of their wedding dresses all their lives, but these frock horrors are more like the stuff of nightmares.” w/ photos
