6 Hit Songs Written By Prince

(Image Link)

The amazing music Prince the recording artist shared with the world will live on forever, and whenever we hear doves cry or see purple rain falling we will think of the mega-talented Prince Rogers Nelson.

Prince played at least 27 different instruments, danced like a funky angel, and gave us his innovative blend of rock and funk so we can boogie our raspberry berets off without shame.

But he was also an incredibly gifted songwriter, who wrote a bunch of hit songs for other artists, including "Nothing Compares 2 U" for Sinead O'Connor.

Prince didn't like the foul language used by Sinead during press conferences, so the two butted heads and actually had what she described as a "punch up", which somehow seems like a fair match.

Madonna was another fair match for Prince, and shortly after the two dated Prince wrote the song "Love Song" which they recorded together for Like A Prayer in 1988.

And even though Prince didn't get any love when he recorded "I Feel For You" for his first album back in 79 he would later earn a Grammy for the song when Chaka Khan made it a huge hit in 1984.

So even if you didn't like the songs he recorded himself chances are there's a hit song out there with Prince's name on it that you do like.

Cute Little Girl Looks Creepy In Adult Sized Coat

Little kids can make most any activity look adorable, and they love to do silly stuff that their family will get a kick out of, but sometimes their silly antics can look a tad terrifying.

An adorable kid wearing adult sized clothing normally = cute, but when the tiny cutie pie in this video puts on a large black coat and shambles around she ends up looking totally creepy.

Maybe this video shared by Kyoot Kids is actually test footage from the new G-rated installment in the Paranormal Activity series?

Police Under Fire For Using Anti-Terrorism Device To Track Sandwich Thief

Police officers take food very seriously, so if you rip off one of their favorite eateries expect to have the full force of the law brought down upon you, even if all you stole were wings and sub sandwiches.

A hungry crook in Annapolis, Maryland stole 15 chicken wings and 3 sub sandwiches (total value $56.77) from a pizza shop employee on a delivery run and the police are now under fire for using a Stingray phone tracker to hunt the thief.

The Stingray is a small device that acts like a portable cell phone tower, allowing police officers to capture info from nearby mobile devices and therefore tramples all over our right to privacy.

This device is typically only used to track terrorists, and yet the Baltimore police department has used it more than 4,300 times since 2007, which is causing some courtroom controversy in Maryland.

The Annapolis police didn't catch the sandwich thief, so using a Stingray was not only an abuse of their power- it was one of the most expensive operations ever mounted to catch a guy who stole some wings and subs.

Designer Brings Ridiculous Drawings Of Bicycles To Life

There's a huge difference between sketching and design drawing, and the biggest difference between the two is the need for precision.

Design drawings are created so something can be physically built from the illustrations, while sketches are supposed to be kept loose and quick, a reaction rather than a precise rendering.

Designer Gianluca Gimini thought it might be fun to turn a scratchy sketch of a bicycle into a realistic design, and after five years of gestation he was ready to bring this concept to life.

Gianluca asked hundreds of people to sketch a bicycle from memory on a sheet of paper, then he turned their ridiculous designs into 3D renderings of real (but hardly ever functional) bicycles for his series "Velocipedia".

Even though many of them wouldn't function for long before falling apart, it would be interesting to ride them all and see how the little errors in the sketch affect how each bike feels to ride.

Uplifting Comic Story Arcs That Will Restore Your Faith In Metahumanity

Comic books used to tell uplifting stories written to teach a moral lesson, but the anti-hero trend came along in the 1970s and changed the world where superheroes live into a much darker place.

The morals were replaced by vigilante justice and dark vengeance, and the upright heroes from the old school started looking a bit hokey compared to those brooding bad boys and girls.

But morality, justice and hope will always have a place in comic books, and sometimes it's nice to see superstars like Deadpool, Harley Quinn and Spider-Man trading the sarcasm for some serious heartfelt expression.

Deadpool teaches a kid named Evan, who is the mutant god Apocalypse reborn, to be okay with his dark heritage, Harley frees herself from the Joker's grasp once and for all, and Spider-Man says goodbye to a young fan with terminal cancer.

These are the tales that amaze us with their emotional depth and astound us with their impact on our non-fictional lives, the story arcs that are nice to read in-between epic battle scenes.

Kid Wakes Up From Anesthesia With Strange Accent And Even Stranger Story

(Image Link)

Everyone handles the effects of anesthesia differently, and for some people coming down is the hardest part of the process.

The kid in this video is named Brandon, and he woke up in a hospital bed speaking in a vaguely Jersey Shore inspired accent and talking loud about how his boy Rocco knocked somebody out.

(YouTube Link)

Is there actually a Rocco? Brandon's mom certainly doesn't seem to think so, but apparently Brandon was dreaming about hanging with Rocco in Dubai, and a camel in a Camaro...cah-ray-zee talk!

Dash Cam Footage Shows Kangaroo Attacking Car At Midnight

I have it on good authority that Australia is full of kangaroos, and if you go there to visit you will most likely see a 'roo hopping around at some point during your trip.

This same authority will tell you that kangaroos are feisty critters that shouldn't be approached in the wild because they may attack, and a kick from their hind legs can cause grievous bodily harm.

But what the authority failed to mention is that kangaroos are so feisty they'll take on a car, using their mighty legs to take out a driver- Mad Max style. (Contains NSFW language)

(YouTube Link)

Apparently Australia turns into an island of terror at night, where roving kangaroo wrecking crews patrol the roads looking for victims...

Car Repairs So Bad They're Brilliant

It must be amusing to work as an auto mechanic and watch all those wrecks and “there, I fixed it” jalopies roll in begging to be sent to that great big junkyard in the sky.

Oh the stories those mechanics must tell while sitting around the table at dinner time, tales of duct tape patch jobs and Coke can pipe repairs.

Hopefully when someone rolls in with one of these poorly patched up automobiles those kindly mechanics cut them a deal, because you know someone is broke when they can't even afford a new tire!

BBK-9 - Two Droids On A Mission To Cause Mischief


BBK-9 by Karen Hallion

Sometimes pop culture characters just hit it off when they meet, like the time Han ran in to The Doctor's buddy Captain Jack Harkness during a smuggling run for the war effort and the two rogues were instantly thick as thieves. That's kinda how BB-8 and K-9 were when they met, and although K-9 does all the talking for the duo they share a kind of unspoken communication that would make twins green with envy. Turns out those cute little droids have a lot in common, including a curious streak that gets them into trouble, and even though they're not the stars of the show their adventures would make a great show in itself!

If you're someone who appreciates a good sci-fi droid mashup then look no further, because this BBK-9 t-shirt by Karen Hallion is the best buddy droid design on the planet!

Codename: Doctor - Sterling Is Now Seeking A Companion


Codename: Doctor by Harebrained Design

The Doctor received a request from a private detective agency run by one Malory Archer, who sounded a bit saucy on the phone, and the whole thing sounded so odd he just had to check it out. According to Ms. Archer a cyborg recently returned to Earth from a space station was attempting to kill her son Sterling and replace him, so he'd kidnapped Sterling and was now forcing him to have his body cast so it could be replicated. At first the Doctor thought the whole thing sounded mad, but a Time Lord knows madness full well and Malory was not mad, so the Doctor saw the situation for what it really was- a chance to play secret agent without any tag-alongs from Torchwood!

This Little Pet Owl Loves To Take Baths

Wild owls bathe every once in a while, mostly by splashing a bit of water on themselves since their featers aren't as , but some wild owls don't seem to like to bathe at all.

It's unclear how little Trude would act in the wild, but in captivity Trude is a big fan of baths, and loves to float around in the bath like a wide-eyed rubber ducky.

(YouTube Link)

Trude's human Kimora Hidetoshi enjoys sharing videos of the strange little bathing owl online so people can see what it's like to have a floating sack of feathers stare at you when you're lying naked in the tub. *shivers*

The Best Unintentional Cosplay From The 2016 Met Gala

When celebs get all dressed up for a high profile function they usually get some famous fashion designer to choose their wardrobe for them, so they show up looking tres chic and totally cool at the big event.

This system usually works out well for both parties, as the designers get free promotion and the stars get free cutting edge fashion styling, but this system also leaves the celebs at a designer's mercy.

Celebs like Nikki Minaj, Zayn Malik and Solange Bowles showed up to the Met Gala 2016 dressed in designer fashion that really made them stand out, never knowing the designers were secretly turning them all into cosplayers. Well played, fashion elite!
