Waiting for a Download

So what kind of time should be calculate the time remaining? Maybe fictional time? I think the “time remaining” estimate is a script written by wannabe comedians. Of course, I’m not much of a geek. I download something that seems really big and complicated, and it’s there in an instant, while some completely trivial update takes an estimated 58 minutes. Well, there’s always something that needs to be done in the kitchen. This is the latest comic from CommitStrip.

How To Instantly Remove Your Hair And Your Dignity

Many guys are convinced hair removal products are a quick and easy way to clean up their nether regions without having to shave.

But hair removal products aren't meant to be used on areas with delicate skin, which those poor guys learn the hard and excruciatingly painful way while testing their theory.

However, I don't think most guys who make this mistake go to Amazon and leave a review of their harrowing experience afterwards, but I'm really glad A. Chappell posted this review back in 2012 because, fake or not, it's forever a funny read.

Not Everyone Is Impressed By The Drop At The End Of Splash Mountain

Splash Mountain is one of the most popular Disney Parks ride, especially in the summertime, and aside from the Song Of The South characters it's just a really fun log ride with an incredible drop at the end.

(Image Link)

The drop is so exhilarating that the automatic cameras capture some really funny expressions on riders' faces, except for one lady who seems rather ticked off about the whole affair.

(Image Link)

Her sourpuss expresson while riding Splash Mountain made for a pretty bitter Photoshop Battle on Reddit, and it all happened because her husband Blackthorne519 wouldn't go on the ride with her.

He was overheard remarking that his wife is "a real piece of work", but I don't think this is what he meant:

But in the end Blackthorne519 discovered that Splash Mountain's drop is just as great as it always was, but his wife is really hard to impress!

Kylo Ren Takes on Other Roles

The new Star Wars bad guy, or at least wannabe bad guy, has branched out into the villain roles in several other films! And even a couple of hero roles, and a comedy, too.  

(YouTube link)

See Kylo Ren stretch his acting chops in this supercut by Darren Wallace and Dane Boe that the Sith-in-training could use as an audition reel if he chose. It's a cheesy idea, but so well-done that you may be surprised. -via Digg

Some Of The Strangest Souvenirs Sold At Disney Parks

The world was a very different place when Disneyland first opened the gates to the Magic Kingdom back in 1955, and as a new legion of fans discovered their love of theme parks Disney found a new market for selling souvenirs.

But some of the souvenirs they sold back in the good old days were quite bizarre compared to the inoffensive, and fully branded, trinkets they sell today.

Souvenir shopping started on Main Street, where Pop could head to the Tobacconist and buy a hand carved Disneyland pipe and a tin of Disneyland Special Blend pipe tobacco.

(Image Link)

But pipes and pipe tobacco are only seen as strange by anti-pipe smoking killjoys, so where's the really strange stuff they used to sell? Well, is buying a bra at Disneyland strange enough for ya?

(Image Link)

At Hollywood-Maxwell's Intimate Apparel Shop you could meet the Wonderful Wizard Of Bras, who would walk (dance?) visitors through the history of lingerie, then ladies could purchase a brand new Disney bra to call their own.

But bras are totally tasteful souvenirs when compared to one gross treat recently sold at Walt Disney World's Animal Kingdom that bombed big time- sugary sweets shaped like animal poop.

(Image Link)

Guests could chomp down on desserts shaped like elephant, giraffe, tamarin or hippo dung, and needless to say these "treats" did not go over well with guests so they were pulled after only two weeks.

Johnny Depp Ripping Off The Trump Face

You've seen Depp as Trump in the Funny Or Die video Miss C recently posted here on Neatorama, now prepare yourself for the utterly terrifying part they decided not to include with the video- Johnny Depp tearing off the Trump makeup.

(Warning: video is barely NSFW due to language and may induce flashbacks like Pink Floyd's The Wall did back in 1982)

(YouTube Link)

Vote Johnny Depp for President this November, because at least he will admit that he's pretending to be someone he's not!

Read A CIA Manual On The Art Of Assassination

Working as a professional assassin may not be a noble calling, nor is it a career that allows you to plan for the future, but from what I hear the pay is really good and government agencies like the CIA are always hiring new " independent contractors".

So if you're thinking about pursuing a career in wetwork then you should head over to Archive.org and read the declassified CIA manual from 1953 entitled A Study Of Assassination, featuring deadly cool stuff like this:

The essential point of assassination is the death of the subject. A human being may be killed in many ways but sureness is often overlooked by those who may be emotionally unstrung by the seriousness of this act they intend to commit. The specific technique employed will depend upon a large number of variables, but should be constant in one point: Death must be absolutely certain. The attempt on Hitler’s life failed because the conspiracy did not give this matter proper attention...

***

It is possible to kill a man with the bare hands, but very few are skillful enough to do it well. Even a highly trained Judo expert will hesitate to risk killing by hand unless he has absolutely no alternative. However, the simplest local tools are often much the most efficient means of assassination. A hammer, axe, wrench, screw driver, fire poker, kitchen knife, lamp stand, or anything hard, heavy and handy will suffice. A length of rope or wire or a belt will do if the assassin is strong and agile. All such improvised weapons have the important advantage of availability and apparent innocence. The obviously lethal machine gun failed to kill Trotsky where an item of sporting goods succeeded.

Don't worry, we won't judge you, although you probably shouldn't go around telling people about your new career because secrecy is a big part of the assassination game. *wink*

Ten Trivial Facts About Vh1's Pop Up Video

Watching the Vh1 show Pop Up Video used to be the best way to learn little known trivia about your favorite bands while enjoying their music videos, and the producers of the show actually went to some pretty extreme lengths to get this information.

By speaking to crew members who worked on the videos they were able to get the inside scoop on facts music megastars didn't want you to know, like Alanis Morissette "kinda stank" during the taping of her "You Learn" video.

Pop Up Video didn't pull punches, but Billy Joel forced them to pull an episode with "Keeping The Faith" because his daughter was harassed at school over what the show said about Joel's ex-wife Christie Brinkley- "It's rumored Christie didn't keep the faith with Billy."

The show's writers were also so catty to lead singer of The Wallflowers Jakob Dylan, son of Bob Dylan, that the network forced the show to edit their segment for "One Headlight" until it was nicer to poor Dylan.

Comics That Illustrate How Things Change As We Grow Up

Nobody said growing up would be any fun, but the way they expressed that future bummer left a lot of questions.

Unfortunately we have to grow up and see how it all changes to answer these questions, watching the fun of youth mutate into something about as exciting as a glass of warm milk.

The staff artists at CollegeHumor put together these 5 Comics To Remind You That Things Change When You Age, which are all relatable no matter your age or degree of maturity- especially the part about no homework!

Epic Marvel Superhero Lamp Made With Cheap Action Figures

Craft projects don't have to involve expensive tools, tons of brand new materials or a head full of building techniques, and the simplest project can wind up looking pretty sweet if you have a solid vision of the final result and take your time getting there.

For example- here's a Marvel superhero lamp that Imgur user downtwobane made with a cheap lamp found at the thrift store, some cheap Avengers action figures and some paint, total cost $15.

Crafty downtwobane attached the figures to the lamp and each other using superglue, then sprayed the whole thing with some Rust-Oleum primer before bringing the "kapow!" with the gold paint.

The finished product is pretty impressive looking as a whole, and as you can see this is one craft project pretty much anyone can handle.

6 Movies And TV Shows That Sent The Reverse Of Their Intended Message

Fan theories are generally to be taken with a grain of salt (unless the writers themselves are presenting this information, of course), but they're fun reads that get you thinking differently about your favorite shows.

Breaking Bad seemed like a cautionary tale rather than a story about a successful criminal who lived a happy and fulfilling life.

But when you consider that Walter White died having proven his true genius, and that his life of crime made him happy the message gets a bit muddy.

I hate to say anything bad about my beloved Doctor Who, but there's something about the modern series' that has always bothered me- the Doctor claims to abhor violence, yet is responsible for the extermination of both the Cybermen and the Daleks.

You'd think a self-avowed pacifist would have, I dunno, sent the Daleks and Cybermen to their own tropical planets where they'd be forced to suntan and sip piña coladas for the rest of eternity. But his actual choices sound more like Doctor Strangelove to me...

A Wizard Moves To Australia To Escape His Fantasy World In The Wizards Of Aus

Australia seems like a pretty magical yet dangerous place, just like most of the fantasy worlds in our favorite novels, but for someone who's actually from a fantasy world the land of Aus is pretty boring.

There are no spellcasters, no shark people, no large scale fantasy warfare, which is exactly how Jack the Wizard likes it, because he's tired of all the magical madness. (NSFW due to language)

(YouTube Link)

Luckily there are lots of these magical things, and lots of fantasy themed funny, in the new comedy series created by LateNite Films called The Wizards Of Aus.

(YouTube Link)

This series is so magically delicious you'll be wanting a second and third serving, so you'll be happy to know they've released six episodes so far, which is the perfect amount of episodes to really fill you up. So dig in and have fun!

McDonald's Happy Meals from the Old Star Trek Movies

1979 saw the revival of the Star Trek franchise with Star Trek: The Motion Picture. McDonald's was part of the marketing blitz. It tried to draw in kids by offering Happy Meals inspired by the movie and its fresh take on Star Trek. The box included a connect-the-dots game, corny jokes, and puzzles.


(Video Link)

McDonald's commercials pushed this Happy Meal option. One of them used a Klingon as a pitchman. The narrator offers a translation, but the character is not actually speaking Klingon--just gibberish. He's assuming that no child who was watching would know the difference.

You can see more photos of the Star Trek Happy Meal and another commercial in the series at Flashbak.
