Bat Piñata by Foursixsix

The Joker and the Harley had pulled off the greatest pranknapping of all time, and now the Bats was at their disposal. Ms. Quinn suggested dropping the man in the bat suit off the side of a building, to see if he can actually fly, but that death didn't have enough panache for the clown prince of crime. No, he wanted to see the Bat suffer and humiliate him at the same time, so he came up with a fun activity that reminded him of childhood- whacking away at a piñata until the blood red candy fell out...

If you cannot save ol' Batsy you might as well save your fashion sense with this Bat Piñata t-shirt by Foursixsix, it's the deliciously dark way to show the world you're a Batfan and a fan of that wildcard in clown white.

Celebrities used to try a lot harder to maintain an image while out and about, putting on a happy face for the cameras that would occasionally want to take their picture.

But nowadays celebs are constantly hounded by paparazzi and therefore don't even bother trying to keep up appearances, and the paparazzi love nothing more than catching celebs looking crestfallen.

Apparently one of the easiest places to see a sad celeb is at a Disney Park, where dense crowds, crying babies and people constantly taking their picture makes even the happiest celeb a bit cross.

Taking a dip in the pool is a great way to beat the summer heat, but unless you're lucky enough to have a pool at your house you'll have to hit a public pool or water park.

Chances are you've heard a few horror stories about public pools, like the urban legend about that urine-indicator dye, but you ain't heard nothin' 'bout public pools until you've read Cracked's 5 Horrifying Things Only Lifeguards Know About Public Pools.

It'll give you five good reasons to stay away from public pools, including the fact that the staff is constantly scooping dead animals out of the pool, and won't even bother trying to scoop when somebody vomits in the pool.

Oh, and those chemicals they use to "clean" the pool? They can permanently ruin your teeth, or worse...

PC case modding is serious business, with international competitions held and lots of money to be made by crafters who can turn drab desktop towers into unique works of art.

Case modding has also become a big part of many computer and video game conventions, where you don't have to be a household name in the case modding community to show off your skills.

The 14^th German CaseMod Championship (DCMM) recently went down at Gamescom 2015, where the entries were broken down into five categories:

regular CaseMods, self-planned and self-constructed cases (CaseCons), consumer electronics recreated with a twist (CE Mods), Cases on the Move (Mods with moving parts), and the 24-Hour Challenge, where "two-member teams spend 8 hours a day, for three days, building a case from the same parts at the show."

The big winner was master modder Ali Abbas, who created the wonderfully complex "Ragnar's Revenge" CaseCon, which he shows off in this very comprehensive video:

When you visit towns in most roleplaying video game you're able to interact with a bunch of drones that are programmed to give a response to a few choice questions and wander about looking busy.

The game designers behind the Witcher series are working hard to bring the entire fantastic world the game is set in to life, including every person in every town, and Witcher 3 promised to deliver the most realistic experience yet.

But Kotaku UK's Rick Lane wasn't convinced, and after spending nearly 100 hours of playtime in game he decided to “dedicate an entire in-game day to walking around a single village, observing the population without interacting directly, and keep a detailed account of what I saw. “

Rick saw a good many strange things about the non-player populace in Witcher 3, including one thing that made him a bit concerned:

I don’t think children in The Witcher 3 sleep. Ever. They just sit and stare blankly at the wall, all night, every night.

Grusome Choice by Chicoloco Designs

Bananas have always been a Minion's favorite food, but the littlest Minion had a new idea about what makes a food good. It seems he'd gotten the idea from a show called Sesame Street, featuring a hairy blue monster who was obsessed with these round things called cookies. Once the littlest Minion had gotten his hands on a cookie and tasted its sweet chocolately goodness his skin began to turn blue and he became even more despicable than before! He couldn't stop talking about cookies, told everyone else to call him Cookie, and his praise of cookies presented the rest of the Minions with a really grusome choice...

Knowing the origin of a pop culture franchise probably won't change the way you feel about the franchise, but if you're as obsessive about your favorite stories as I am then you'll probably do some digging.

Researching will uncover simple roots for many franchises, but then there are franchises like Predator, Super Mario Bros., A Nightmare On Elm Street and Gilligan's Island that have some pretty unusual origin stories.

The 'shrooms that make Mario grow up big and strong in Super Mario Bros. look just like amanita muscaria, the hallucinogenic mushroom, so the game could be seen as one big 'shroom trip. Gilligan's Island also has a fairly simple origin- the islanders represent the seven deadly sins.

A Nightmare On Elm Street started with a news story about a deadly nightmare killing young men in southeast Asia during the 1970s and 80s.

Wes Craven read a news story about a bunch of young men who died of SUDS (sudden unexpected death syndrome) in their sleep, combined that with a bully from his childhood and Freddy Krueger was born.

And last but certainly not least there's Predator- the Rocky sequel we never knew we wanted until we saw it in theaters. Predator started as a running joke in Hollywood that said Rocky would have to fight an alien in Rocky V to top Rocky IV.

Everyone has heard of the Le Mans (officially 24 Hours of Le Mans), it's the oldest automotive race in the world and has been held annually since 1923, but have you ever seen 24 Hours Of LeMons?

The LeMons is (arguably) way more fun to watch than Le Mans because entrants are only allowed to drive cars valued at less than $500 total.

Created by a creative car guy from Car & Driver magazine in 2006, the LeMons is ludicrous fun for viewers, but sometimes not so much fun for the drivers.

Documentarian Marcus Ubungen captured all the jalopy hijinks of LeMons and clipped into a short documentary called “Halloween Meets Gasoline- The 24 Hours Of LeMons"

The Nacho Of Providence by Lithium

It was foretold many centuries ago that a cheesy nacho chip would come to lead the chosen ones back to their kingdom of cheesiness. This chip would have but one eye, but that eye would be all-seeing and able to sense every flavor on the planet at once. Those who could stomach the initiation found the Order of the Nachos to be quite an appetizing, but their battle was just beginning against those dirty devils from the Chili Cheese Fries Cabal.

Some people make societal and political statements with music, videos or the written word, but Steve Cutts makes these statements with comic illustrations.

But don't let the word “comic” fool you, because the artwork Cutts creates is less silly slapstick statement and more cutting commentary.

These are illustrated images for the disenfranchised, the down on their luck crowd with a dreary outlook on life.

Steve is an animator, illustrator, sculptor and cake maker, but he doesn't let those positive elements of his life blind him to the harsh realities of the modern world, because he feels bringing attention to these sad truths is the best way to initiate change.

The life of a celebrity seems really far removed from the norm, and that detachment from normalcy makes it easy to assume celebrities have their own tight knit club of rich people who entertain normal people for a living.

But celebrities are often battling for the same spotlight, which can lead to rivalries and bitterness towards their fellow celebs, so friendship is the last thing famous people want from other famous folks.

They're also trying to maintain a carefully constructed image, one which is hopefully scandal free, so some celebs end up feuding with their own family members just to distance themselves from their sibling's scandals.

The internet is chock full of great stock photos, some not-so-great shots, and those utterly ridiculous images that will probably never leave the stock photo stockroom.

Stock photographers strive to provide any kind of image their clients might need to complete a project, using creative concepts and bold imagery to fill visual niches.

Because you never know when a client will need a photo of a sad baby wearing a funny hat, a funky fashion forward girl grinning madly, or an angry old guy with his fist cocked looking for a fight.

The world of stock photography has changed quite a bit since the 1970s, and not just because digital photography has made it easier to create content, but one element of stock imagery will never change- the ever present strange!

What do you get when you combine pastoral images of the English countryside, cheap props bought on Ebay and a selection of audio snippets sourced from TV and old tapes?

You get a rather strange video called Badgers, part one of the "Big Field" series by Darren Dutton and Jonny Roberts.

Badgers was created using only the finest recycled audio clips and funkiest props in order to maintain its unique flavor, and just when you least expect them the badgers finally appear...talk about your twist ending!

Dove Of Death by Wharton

There's a popular misconception that doves are peace loving creatures, a rumor that was most certainly started by those war hatin' hippies, but in actuality doves can be quite brutal. They like to gently coo their victims into complacency then swoop in for the kill, splattering their white feathers with red blood, which is seen as a sign of virility in their society. So the next time you hear the gentle cooing of a dove in your backyard you'd better close the blinds and hope that dove doesn't catch sight of you, because it might see you as its next target!

Let the hahas fly with this Dove Of Death t-shirt by Wharton, it's the morbid way to say "some things are not as they seem".
