Redditor morphinapg created a composite image of all the actors who played Superman and the result really does look pretty darn super. I wouldn't mind if he saved me from a burning building or two, of course, I hope he'd wipe the schmutz off of his forehead first.

Humans tend to think we're the smartest beasts on earth, but really, animals have a lot to teach us. Thankfully, Buzzfeed has compiled a great list of life lessons we can learn from animals, accompanied with adorable pictures for each point. The one above, for example, reminds us that "The absolute best thing in the entire world is curling up with a good book."
Sometimes time and money conspire against us to ensure that we'll be stuck in the same city no matter how much we need to take a trip. When you feel like you're going to burst out of your skin if you don't get a vacation soon, try heading to Google and visiting a whole world of famous locales with their street view.
Mental Floss has a great collection of places you can visit thanks to the fantastic tool, including the Colosseum (above). You can also visit the San Diego Zoo and Disneyland, but they just aren't the same without the lively animals and rides.
As one of those people who has a serious addiction to Tard, aka Grumpy Cat, I'm determined to not only buy, but to consume the new Grumpy Cat coffee drinks. The thing is, I hate coffee, so I will be miserable the whole time I drink it. You know what Tard would say about that? "Good."
This cake is great for house unification because you can't have a slice that represents just Slytherin or Hufflepuff. You can learn how to put together your own Hogwarts cake over at Bakingdom.
When I was a youngster, I related with Belle because we both always had our noses in books. I can't even imagine how excited I would have been to see Amy Mebberson's Belle Solo back then. Imagine, a princess hero that's smart, quick-talking, a blaster master and the owner of the fastest ship in the galaxy.

When you watch The Ring, you're probably thinking, "gee, I'd love to try some of the water from that well." Well, you're in luck! Japanese burger chain Lotteria has introduced a new milkshake that they claim is flavored after the classic horror flick.
So what does it taste like? Oddly enough, blue lemonade with chocolate hair swirls on the top.
It's been a while since we checked in with the internet's favorite happy kitty, so let's see how Maru's doing. Let's see some tail twitching, good. A little attack on the rug, very nice. A failed attempt at jumping and some water exposure...looks great. Yup, he's still up to his usual adorable tricks.

Just because you aren’t living in a sitcom or cartoon doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate the many stupid fictional holidays celebrated by your favorite fictional families. Here are a few of the many great holidays that have been created by television writers (and one musician) throughout the years that we should actually start celebrating right away.
What it is: The Dinosaur’s version of a combination between Thanksgiving and Christmas, Refrigerator Day celebrates the dinosaur discovery of a refrigerator, which allowed them to settle down and start families rather than continually roaming in a search for food. To celebrate, the dinosaurs perform a pageant of the first refrigerator day, give gifts to one another, put up festive decorations and enjoy refrigerator carols that are more like commercials for goods and services. Prior to Refrigerator day, everyone is asked to fast for two days.
How to celebrate: We may not be dinosaurs, but we too appreciate the value of a fine refrigerator. Try fasting from refrigerated or frozen foods for two days before the celebration, eating only dehydrated, canned or totally fresh from the farm foods. Since we already have Christmas, don’t go run to the stores to grab expensive presents for your loved ones –instead, give them some great refrigerator artwork or new magnets.

What it is: In Parks and Recreation, only Tom Haverford and Donna Meagle celebrate Treat Yo Self Day, but it sounds delightful. Essentially, once a year the duo treats themselves to clothes, fragrances, massages, mimosas, fine leather goods, Batman costumes or any other thing they so please.
How to celebrate: The key is in the name, my friend. Do something you’ve always wanted to do, despite the cost. Or just splurge on a luxury you tend to deny yourself. Go on a river cruise, enjoy a lobster dinner, pay someone to give you a piggyback all day –whatever you want, just Treat Yo Self.

Sure, he looks adorable while he's rolling around with this plastic straw, but he's not trying to play -he's trying to get someone's attention so they will bring him a milkshake already. Sorry Leo, I would help if I could.

For some people, double stuff doesn't have nearly enough filling. For others, even regular Oreos have a little too much filling. That's why Redditor EternallyXIII invented the Moreo, the best innovation in Oreos since their creation. Seriously, someone get Nabisco on the line to get these things made.

There are plenty of TV dramas based on real people or real events, but comedy is largely more imaginative and therefore, more often fiction. Even so, you’d be surprised how many of your favorite characters and plots in sitcoms are actually based on real life people and events. Here are five such examples.
Obviously the setting of M*A*S*H is the very real Korean war, but the TV sitcom was based on a film that was, in turn based on a book by Dr. H. Richard Hornberger, a military surgeon who served in Korea. Corporal “Radar” O’Reilly was based on company clerk Don Shafer, who served beside the doctor in the war and also had the nickname “Radar.” Major Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan was based on two different nurses that served in Korea, Hotlips Hammerly and Janie Hall. Hammerly had a similar disposition and look as the fictional version, but Hall played a direct role in the character’s development, regularly contributing to the show with her real-life stories.
Not only were a few of the characters inspired by real people, but many of the plots used in the early seasons are based on stories the production team got from interviews with real MASH surgeons.

Greendale may seem pretty over-the-top, but it is based on Dan Harmon’s real experiences at Glendale Community College, where he got involved in a study group and began a friendship with a group of people he otherwise had nothing in common with. Harmon based Jeff on himself, acknowledging that he was self-centered and excessively independent before the group made him recognize the value of connecting with other people.
As for the delightfully bizarre Abed, he wasn’t based on a member of Harmon’s study group, but a friend of his who is simply obsessed with pop culture. Of course, Abed Gheith, the real life version of the character is quick to point out that he’s not quite as odd as the highly exaggerated Abed, “I think I’m a bit more aware socially. I can tell when people are uncomfortable… It seems like the one on the show has no idea that he’s around other people. Like he's watching them on TV. So he's kind of a kid-like version of me.”
