A few of the games in the Mario Bros. franchise have attempted to show us what Mario dreams about, and Super Mario Bros. 2 was all a dream, but can we really know what's going on inside Mario's head?
The guy has eaten so many mushrooms I doubt he knows his own mind anymore, and all that warping, morphing and fighting can't be good for his brain.
But as this comic by Andy Kluthe shows us the Mushroom Kingdom resident you've really gotta look out for is Toad- because he's clearly not getting enough love.
You can't legally purchase children on Craigslist, or anywhere else in America for that matter, but you can purchase 28 wax sculptures of Amish children on Craigslist, so that's pretty much the same thing, right?
Four of the pieces have mechanical "Life-sized animation" function which formerly brought "this interactive classroom to life", but many of these figures look eerily lifelike even without the mecha upgrade.
Of course, real kids can't separate their hand from their arm like that, but technically that makes these mannequins better than a room full of real kids, plus you don't have to feed them and they don't stink!
Going through a high profile court trial can be a nightmare for everyone involved, but they're especially trying for the defendants.
And when the media goes out of their way to paint a defendant as guilty it can be mighty hard to shake off the stigma of guilt, even when they're acquitted of all charges.
But there's another thing many famous acquitted defendants have in common besides this stigma- bankruptcy.
Casey Anthony was made (in)famous by her 2011 court trial, and has therefore tried to stay out of the spotlight, but debt has a way of finding you no matter where you hide- Casey filed for bankruptcy in 2013 claiming she owes three quarters of a million dollars in liabilities.
Robert Blake was a huge Hollywood star before he was accused of murdering his wife in 2001, and although he was found not guilty of murder he was ordered to pay $30 million to his wife's children in 2005, which caused him to file for bankruptcy in 2006.
Blake was recently spotted signing autographs at a memorabilia show, but that's hardly going to earn him tens of millions of dollars, so chances are he'll spend the rest of his life in debt.
But how about OJ Simpson, the (arguably) most famous acquitted murderer in the history of the American legal system?
While OJ's not technically bankrupt (morally maybe but not financially) he's probably going to spend the rest of his life in Nevada's Lovelock Correctional Center- where he's currently serving a 33 year sentence for armed robbery.
As soon as the leaves start to turn and we see Halloween on the horizon we know one scary fellow is about to start making the rounds. He's large and full of laughter, with the strangest taste in clothing, and if you get on his good side he'll bring you a present you'll never forget. No, it's not Santa Claus, although that is a good guess. The fellow we're talking about is named Jack, and he's the head honcho in Halloweentown. Jack used to be known as the Pumpkin King, and his last name Skellington tends to give kids nightmares at the mere mention, so now he's tells everyone his name is Sandy Claws, because he very nearly ended up replacing the real Santa. So what are you going to do now, go naughty and risk a visit from the scary Sandy Claws or stay on Santa's good side?
Show the world that only Jack Skellington can judge you with this Scary Santa t-shirt by Dooomcat, it's the perfect shirt to wear into the new year and beyond!

Don't you hate it when you're sleeping like the dead and some jerk comes knocking on your coffin just to ask if you're the real Count Dracula? Of course you don't, you're not Count Dracula- I am, and let me tell you the living could learn a thing or two from the (un)dead! That's why I surround myself with zombies and monsters, because at least they have the common decency to fear me, unlike you human morsels with your selfies and your celebrity worship. I get it- to you I'm a big movie star, so meeting me is a dream come true, but it will be a nightmare too if you interrupt my coffin break...especially if I'm feeling a bit thirsty...

Superheroes are a sexy bunch, there's no doubt about it, but having sex with a superhero seems like a task best left up to other superfolks.
For our normal human bodies are fragile, and probably wouldn't be able to withstand a physical encounter with some super strong, super fast and/or super thick skinned individual.
But if you're trying to get down and dirty with The Thing you might find him too embarrassed to return your advances- because the jury's still out on whether he has functional genitalia in his non-human form.
On the other hand, Rogue of the X-Men is anatomically correct, but touching her bare skin can cause power loss, permanent memory loss or death. She's hot but she ain't that hot!
Dog breed names generally say nothing about the dog's appearance, temperament, or size, so isn't it about time we unofficially rename certain breeds so we can more easily describe them to each other?
Not everyone knows what a Shih Tzu looks like off the top of their head, but if you call them Long-Haired Smushmugs (a much more accurate description) people will know exactly which breed you're talking about.
Likewise calling a Collie a "Lassie" instead just makes sense, just as a Golden Retriever is best described as an "Air Bud" and Great Danes should officially change their name to "Scoobies".
But what about the slightly harder to describe Basset Hound? Melty Slobberlogs, what a perfect description!
Commuters who spend a lot of time in their car look for ways to make their auto bound lives easier, so they can have little luxuries like a seatbelt that retracts smoothly or a smartphone holder that doesn't leave a mark.
But frugal drivers like to figure out how to improve their auto experience without paying a dime, so they'll enjoy this simple car hacks video by Dave Hax because they all involve standard household stuff.
This just in- breaking news stories are usually sad and/or scary, and often involve doom, gloom and death, so they're not something viewers look forward to seeing.
But we'd all look forward to seeing another breaking news story if it involved a dog in a hat!
Maybe the media should focus less on spreading fear and more on spreading smiles with fresh stories about local heroes, like Doggo the dog who was too cool for Tallahassee.
Wouldn't it be nice to come across a news channel that focuses less on heartbreaking stories and more on the latest developments in the feline transportation industry? Looks like the catbus is on its way out!
Everyone has questions, that's part of what makes us human. Google helps us not only answer such questions, but also learn what our neighbors wonder about as well. That's why we love this collection of some of the most common questions asked in each state -or at least asked more in each state than they are asked in other states. The map is fun to look at, but this Thrillist article has more than one question per state, which offers a lot more information and interest to the collection of inquiries.
Slowly they crept, paw by paw, foot by foot, stair by stair, when suddenly they felt (and smelled) a fetid wind upon their necks. It was Nosferatu, the rat-faced creep who'd been chasing people out of the Renfield Hotel by, like, hissing at them all menacingly. Shaggy's knees started to shake as he stammered out "D-d-d-d-don't hurt me you creep!", followed by Scooby's assent "Rah! Rou Reep!", but for some reason their knee knocking and stammering actually made the old vampire smile...which immediately made Shaggy and Scooby pass out! I mean, have you seen the face on that guy Nosferatu? Yecch!
Get ready to scare up some smiles from your fellow Scooby fans with this Come On, Scoob! t-shirt by Six Eyed Monster, it's no mystery why this design is so appealing - it has Rooby Roo and Raggy too!

Bodybuilders work hard for their muscular physique, and therefore love to proudly show off their muscles off when they're out in public.
But their hard work may be for naught if they show off those bulging biceps and powerful pecs in the wrong part of town! Take it from Deathbulge and keep your shirt on fellas!
Saturday morning cartoon show theme songs are the songs that played in our heads when we were kids, the catchy and well crafted tunes that will stay with us for the rest of our lives.
Just thinking about shows like Muppet Babies, Scooby Doo Where Are You?, Thundercats, Hong Kong Phooey or Josie and the Pussycats makes the theme song come to mind, demonstrating the power of the cartoon theme song.
In 1995 MCA released an album called Saturday Morning Cartoons' Greatest Hits featuring The Ramones, Sublime, Liz Phair, Helmet and Reverend Horton Heat covering cartoon theme songs, and those childhood tunes were changed forever- in a good way.
The album also came with this full length home video, featuring all of the music videos for the songs on the album as well as Drew Barrymore and her friends reacting to each video while looking all alt 90s.
There's a whole generation who thinks of Brooklyn, New York as the Hipster capital of the U.S., a place where the artsy and pretentious gather to discuss how cool they are over craft cocktails.
But Brooklyn was originally a working class neighborhood, and by the 70s the jobs were gone and the "fourth largest city in America" had so much crime, poverty and violence the streets were crackling with negative energy.
The Blackout of 1977, the Son of Sam murders committed by Brooklyn native David Berkowitz, the Mafia wars spilling over onto the streets- these are just some of the things that went down in Brooklyn back in the day.
Troubles in Brooklyn kept on keeping on well into the 90s, as the next deadly decade was ushered in with the Crown Heights riot of 1991.
And even though the Hipsters would have you believe they've always been in Brooklyn they tend to stay in the Williamsburg area because Bushwick and Bed-Stuy are still pretty gritty.
