We all know the Etch-A-Sketch as a toy we got as a kid and thought was pretty cool for a few days before it ended up at the bottom of the toybox.

But I bet kids would see the Etch-A-Sketch as a whole lot cooler if they thought they could make a fiery pyrotechnic composition called Thermite out of the sketchy powder.

This rumor has been circulating around the internet for years, so “The King Of Random” Grant Thompson teamed up with Dan and Lincoln from What's Inside? to test the theory.

Most people play it cool and try to pretend like they're minding their own business while riding the subway, but in truth we're all furtively watching what others are up to while we ride.

Knowing that eyes will be upon you means pretty much any prank will be easy to pull off, so subway pranksters like Scott Rogowsky always come prepared.

In this instance Scott started rode the subway armed with fake books like "Mein Kampf for kids!", "How To Hold A Fart In" and "Slut-Shaming Your Baby", just a little light reading for the afternoon commute.

Scott's hilarious book covers raised many eyebrows on the train, but people didn't want to admit to being nosy so they just smiled and shifted around uncomfortably in their seats. (Video contains NSFW content)

Vulcans don't know how to party down, throw caution to the wind or act impulsively, which is why they make perfect mates for lovers of logic and those overemotional souls seeking balance in their life.

But before you become bedfellows with a Vulcan you should consult this comic by Maritsa Patrinos of Seasonal Depression Comics and see if Vulcans are right for you.

Side effects include: monotonous speech patterns, drab home decor and a rigorous daily schedule. Daily massages may be habit forming.

Hair and makeup stylists who work in Hollywood are in a unique position to spend lots of time hanging out with the talent, as stars often spend hours in their trailer getting camera ready.

If these stylists are lucky they may even get to hang out with the stars off set and possibly become friends with the famous faces they do work on every day of a shoot.

Back in the 90s hair stylist Jason Rail got lucky while working on indie movies such as Nowhere, The Doom Generation and Clockwatchers, hanging out with Rose McGowan, Lisa Kudrow and Parker Posey, who he's still friends to this day.

Jason captured the 90s indie movie scene both on and off the set with his trusty Polaroid camera, and the pics have sat in a shoebox for two decades until he recently started sharing them on his Instagram.

The FX series The People v O.J. Simpson filled in quite a few blanks relating to the cast of characters involved in the trial, but it also left us with a bunch of unanswered question.

What's the deal with Johnnie Cochran's secret second marriage, which was only hinted at on the show?

Turns out Johnnie led two lives with two wives in the 1970s- he lived primarily with his wife Barbara and carried on a secret relationship with his secretary Patty.

He married and had children with both women, and by 1995 he was trying to put his womanizing past behind him when his ex Barbara released her tell all book Life After Johnnie Cochran.

Being a womanizer definitely isn't cool, but that Judge Ito sure seemed like a cool cat on the show. What was his deal?

Judge Lance Ito is such a cool guy he picks up cops at crime scenes (he met his wife Margaret York at a homicide crime scene at 4 a.m.) and drives around with a vanity plate that says "7 BOZOS" (a stab at the California Supreme Court).

When Tony Stark realized he could create specialized suits of armor that would help him take down the biggest and baddest opponents in the Marvel Universe he went to town.

He made Hulkbuster suits, Hydro Armor for superheroing under the sea, stealth armor, heavy duty armor and even a suit made to help him battle alien forces in deep space.

But as you can see in this comic strip by Luke McKay Mr. Stark soon discovered there's such a thing as too specialized, and his later suits started to look a bit silly. Oh well, back to the drawing board!

We got to see a few minutes of some old friends in The Force Awakens: R2D2 and C-3PO. But the golden droid had a red arm! What’s up with that? We were told the answer would be revealed in a Marvel comic book months ago, but it was delayed. The explanation came out today, a one-shot issue called Star Wars: C-3PO #1. If you want to go buy the comic, you’ll want to skip the rest of this post. Otherwise, here’s the reason that C-3PO has one red arm in the movie The Force Awakens.

Show Spoiler

Spoilers ahead for Star Wars: C-3PO #1, by James Robinson, Tony Harris, and Joe Caramagna.

Actually, to be fair, we’ve actually known ever since the Force Awakens visual dictionary guide book came out why Threepio’s arm is red. (The book had some other interesting facts in it, too.) C-3PO wears it in memory of a droid that sacrificed itself to save him during a mission for the Resistance. Pretty boring, and yet, Robinson and Harris manage to weave a fascinating tale around this rather humdrum factoid.

You can read more about the story at Gizmodo. In fact, they tell the whole plot of the comic.

If there is one thing that the internet generation has in common, it’s Star Wars. From the first movie in 1977, kids have enjoyed the movies, toys, clothing, decor, and most of all, the make-believe play from a time long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away. These childhood memories from all over are archived at the website I Gew Up Star Wars. It has years of image and video submissions from Star Wars fans.

Do you remember playing with your STAR WARS figures in the sandbox? Do you remember running around the schoolyard at recess on a snowy day pretending you were riding atop a Taun Taun? Do you remember talking your parents into watching STAR WARS at the theater just one more time, because nine times just wasn’t enough? Do you remember begging your Mom for that Stormtrooper figure you walked past at the grocery store? If you remember any of those things, you have come to the right place.

Looking at these pictures makes me regret not being able to grow up with Star Wars, but then I console myself with the fact that I did get to watch the first man walk on the moon live on TV.  -via the A.V. Club

Phil Collins has been making music for over forty years and yet he still manages to garner new fans every time he releases a new album, even if that new fan connection is sometimes facilitated by cartoons.

But Phil's look has also been updated ever so slightly by the passage of time, so he decided to recreate all of his original album covers with images of his now face for the 2016 reissues.

It's refreshing to see a famous face who's not afraid to embrace their actual age, and Phil looks mighty good considering he's been rocking and rolling for most of his life!

Religious extremists make great ranters, ravers, rabble rousers and rotten human beings, but they don't make very good rappers because they have a very limited vocabulary.

At the same time their hate filled lyrics make the most hardcore gangsta rappers cringe and cry uncle, their "holy" message making them more thuggish ruggish than the rest.

A mom and born hater named MH Weibe grabbed a mic and talked trash about the transgender student bathrooms being installed in Alberta schools and ended up becoming the poster child for intolerance.

Now this is why real hip hop heads don't tolerate sucka emcees, and a perfect example of why religion and rapping just don't mix.

When you're a warm-hearted person you grow up trying to be as nice to your fellow human beings as possible, but somewhere around puberty the rules change and sweet suddenly becomes creepy.

These changes to the niceness rulebook don't always involve things of a hormonal nature, but when hormones are involved it's pretty darn obvious...and totally creepy.

People who find it hard to tell sweet sentiments and actions apart from shiver inducing creepiness should take a note from illustrator Shea Strauss and learn to keep their creepy comments in their minds where they belong!

Millions of children learned to love reading when they were introduced to Harry Potter. They eagerly devoured each volume and then the movies, too. It’s been 19 years since the first book was published, and five years since the last movie came out. While schoolchildren still read the Harry Potter series and still learn to love the Hogwarts gang, the original Harry Potter generation has grown up. And now, 15 years after the book was published, the first teaser trailer for the movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is here.

The story is a spinoff/prequel to the Harry Potter series, in which a representative of the wizarding world travels to New York in 1926. JK Rowling is both producer and screenwriter. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will be in theaters this November. -via Geeks Are Sexy

We must assume that anyone who asks the internet for "help” with their photo is looking to be roasted by Photoshop trolls, but is that actually what English diver Tom Daley had in mind when he posted this pic?

He claimed to be running a contest designated #COVERDALEY, but could he possibly have been so naive he thought posting such a request online wouldn't end in image manipulation mayhem?

(Image Link)

While #COVERDALEY drew lots of Photoshop pranksters to the party it also attracted the attention of some pretty important people, and suddenly Tom was taking a ride through the countryside with Putin.

Tom couldn't have known the contest would make his wildest dreams come true, nor could he have foreseen about all the fun new places he would go thanks to #COVERDALEY.

And even though he settled on a boring cover photo after all was said and done, Tom's contest got him in touch with the most important person of all- Tom Daley.

Remember in the movie The Empire Strikes Back how Luke Skywalker took his Jedi training under Master Yoda and had to carry his teacher on his back? Luke got off easy in that one, as Yoda didn’t weight more than a Muppet. Things are not so easy for Rey! What do you wanna bet that he has her waxing his car, too? This was posted today in honor of Daisy Ridley’s 24th birthday. She’s glad he lost all that weight for the last movie. -via reddit

I wonder just where they may have gotten this idea.

Tom Fisher put together a trailer for the Star Wars saga, all seven movies in barely over two minutes. If you haven’t seen them, this will make you want to. And it contains very little in the way of spoilers. Just a taste of the overarching story of three generations of a Force-sensitive family. -via Tastefully Offensive
