Solo Horizon - I Know You Love It!


Solo Horizon by Kempo24

Han was used to riding solo, he was used to being alone with his thoughts and a walking carpet to cuddle up with when the galaxy felt colder than usual, but then he met Leia and suddenly solo wasn't an option anymore. She brought out the goodness in him, turning that rogue into a ravishing romantic, and the solo became a duo who shared their love with the stars above. Suddenly it didn't matter how many wars they'd fought in, or how the odds were stacked against them, because they knew their love was a force to be reckoned with- and time would forever be on their side...

Charles Darwin's Kids Drew All Over His On the Origin of Species Manuscript

Charles Darwin had ten children, and at least three of them were young artists during the time Darwin was writing his 1859 book On the Origin of Species. They saw dad's project as a source of paper for their drawings and paintings! Of Darwin's first manuscript, only 45 out of 600 pages still exist. They are in the process of being digitized for posterity, and they have yielded dozens of the children's artworks. More than just scribbles, they are historic marginalia worthy of preservation.    

The drawings, made with pencil, ink, and watercolor, are playful and often humorous, although they reflect Dad’s talent for recording details, whether it be the multicolored wings of a butterfly or the pattern on a highlander’s kilt. Indeed, several of the drawings are more military-concerned and show battles or soldier’s portraits. Others show the children’s fluency with the natural world: bees buzz around flowers and a variety of animals are shown in profile and face-forward. Apparently, Darwin also recruited his kids for basic research including collecting various specimens and encouraged them to make their own observations.

It's Everybody's Business

Economy schmeconomy and Capitalism schmapitalism, amirite? Now depending on how you reacted to that statement you're either passionate about Capitalism and your country's current economic state or you don't give a damn, and frankly it's okay to feel either way about these financial matters.

But we're not here to argue- we're here to watch an old timey cartoon show about Capitalism, more specifically a "Corporate Cold War-era cartoon linking Bill of Rights to free-enterprise ideology" from 1954.

And despite how it may seem It's Everybody's Business isn't boring at all, especially when viewed with 21st century eyeballs.

The Case of the Viral Lunch Theft

Someone stole another person's lunch out of the refrigerator at work. The victim watched the security video, and now everyone in the office knows who did it. However, the perpetrator doesn't know she's been identified. How do you act? It's only a matter of time until someone spills the beans, or else she figures it out from the weird ways they've all been acting.

I can't imagine that she hasn't figured it out by now, because the Twitter thread has almost half a million likes and over 150,000 retweets.

You can read the whole story at Digg.


The Unauthorized Adaptation Of The iTunes Terms And Conditions

Whenever you install and use iTunes you're forced to agree to Apple's user agreement to continue, a lengthy document that is essentially just a long-winded way for Apple to cover their butt.

I've never read this entire document, and chances are neither have you, but illustrator Robert Sikoryak has and somehow it inspired him to create a comic book version of that ridiculously long legal document.

Robert rendered his "unauthorized adaptation" of the iTunes Terms and Conditions in the style of many famous cartoons and comics, from the Simpsons to Peanuts to Dick Tracy, and his graphic novel is making people actually want to read the document!

Now That's a Gender Reveal Party Worth Attending

It might be an unpopular opinion, but I always found gender reveal parties to be a bit self-obsessed -after all, your friends and family members probably don't actually care that much about whether you're having a boy or a girl. That being said, they're also a bit boring, I mean, there's really only two options out there when it comes to the big reveal. On the other hand, the gender reveal party in this comic by Adam Ellis is features a truly exciting surprise.

Playing The Burning Piano

Elton John is one hell of a showman who wows crowds with his stage shows while playing hit songs like "Candle In The Wind" and "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", but imagine how much more dazzling his stage show would be if he played a flaming piano!

There's no way an audience would forget seeing Elton play "Tiny Dancer" while his piano burns away to a pile of ash, and there's no way you'll forget seeing James Nelson play his flaming piano either- because he really cooks on those keys!

The Best Easter Candy of All Time

You might get away with filling an Easter basket with boiled eggs and Peeps if your children are young, but adults are much more discriminating in their Easter treats. Ranker compiled results from over 13,000 online voters to determine the best Easter candies. Cadbury Eggs took three of the top five slots, but did not make #1. The overall results are:

1. Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs
2. Cadbury Creme Egg
3. Cadbury's Mini Eggs
4. Lindt Chocolate Bunny
5. Cadbury's Caramel Egg

The list ranks 27 different Easter-themed candies. You can sort results by sex, generation, and region and get somewhat different results, but Reece's Peanut Butter Eggs stays at the top for all of them. -via Uproxx


Wanted Cat

If a little kid carrying a cardboard box comes up to you and asks you if you want a cat you should say yes immediately and free that poor kitty before it suffocates.

But maybe you should ask that kid for their name first, because if they say their last name is Schrödinger you may not want to see what's inside that box... (Comic by Raph Comic)

A Master Thesis in Minimalist Design

There was an Easter egg decorating contest at the workplace. Redditor Pattmost20 is not artistically inclined, or so he says. But he is clever and a decent writer, so he just went with the minimalist art approach. The egg he entered came in fourth out of 15 entries. Fourth place didn't get a prize, but the person who won the third-place received chocolate. Since they were on a diet, they gave it to Pattmost20. See a larger image here.

You know what the French say, one egg is un oeuf.


Cartoon Network Should Seriously Reconsider Making Back To Backspace

Cartoon Network has introduced us to great shows like Teen Titans GO!, Adventure Time, The Misadventures of Flapjack, Regular Show and Samurai Jack just to name a few, but sadly some equally great shows have yet to make it past the pilot episode stage.

Back To Backspace is one of those shows that Cartoon Network should seriously reconsider turning into a series because it's oddball and interesting and fun enough to become their next big hit! Here's the blurb:

With every stroke of every backstroke key around the world, deleted information beams into a dimension of digital detritus. Here, an organization staffed by a motley cluster of deleted creatures organize every flub and failure and determine the fate of each one.

Ride Me For Luck - A Never Ending Source Of Hilarity


Ride Me For Luck by Hillary White

Normally shirts that say prompt people to sit on you, ride on you or otherwise engage in physical contact with you won't get you much love from the intended target, but this Ride Me For Luck t-shirt by Hillary White will get you all kinds of love wherever you go. That's because it contains the power of Falcor, the luck dragon, so people won't be able to resist the urge to see if Falcor's good luck rubs off on them like it did Atreyu. And in this never ending story we call life luck is something we could all use a bit more of, especially those who are stuck eating rocks when they'd rather be munchin' on delicious sammiches!

Being Is Weird

He takes us down a metaphysical wormhole, when all she'd said was "How are you?" People use that phrase as a greeting, so they are really saying, "Hello, please respond!" The normal response is, "I'm fine, how about you?" There are some people who think you're asking "How are you?" sincerely, and tell you about their aches and pains. It could be worse.

This guy instead focused on the word "are," as a form of the verb "to be." The state of being is a deep subject, depending on how deep you want to go. The question was not "How are you possible?" or "What are you?" or "How do you exist?" When you get philosophical over a simple greeting, people will tend to avoid you in the future. This comic is from John McNamee at Pie Comic.


See Seven Ancient Ruins As They Would Have Looked In Their Prime

Every year millions of people flock to the sites of the ancient historical sites to see what's left of those amazing structures our ancestors built, and every year these ruins of history continue to degrade and look less like their former selves.

So artists from the travel website Expedia digitally reconstructed ancient ruins like the Parthenon, Nohoch Mul Pyramid, Cobá and Milecastle 39, Hadrian's Wall, so we can see how they may have looked in their prime with an animated return to their former glory.

It's kind of fun to imagine what each one will look like in its final original form then watch the animation unfold and see if you were right!

The Greatest Rabbits In Film History

Think the Easter bunny is the most iconic fictional rabbit? It has a lot of competition. Far from being the ultimate in non-theratening cuddly fluffiness, rabbits in movies are usually terrifying. Watch this and see what I mean. It is not for children.

(YouTube link)

Yeah, there are a few benign cinematic rabbits, like Harvey and Thumper, but the vast majority of them are murderous demons you don't want to confront, ever.
