Dungeons & Dragons is one of those games that most parents just don't understand, and when they eavesdrop on their kids while they're playing parents are liable to hear all kinds of strange stuff coming out of their mouths.

This incomprehensibility may be one of the reasons why D&D was villainized back in the day, but it also makes for some hilarious "WTF?" moments when game chat is quoted out of context.

Imgur user perckq asked tabletop gamers in the Imgur community to submit quotes for his Out of context D&D shenanigans gallery, and their responses were so out there they'll probably only make sense to serious D&D heads...or maybe not.

Plenty of people have a favorite color, which is their first choice for things like clothing, car paint jobs and interior design schemes, but nobody takes their favorite color as seriously as the Green Lady Of Carroll Gardens.

(Image Link)

For you see the Green Lady has made having a favorite color into a lifestyle, and she has been wearing only green for the last 20 years.

Elizabeth Eaton Rosenthal, aka the Green Lady of Carroll Gardens, is so obsessed with the color green that she dyes her hair green, fills her home with green decor, appliances and furniture, and prefers to buy products that are sold in green packages.

So why is she so obsessed with the color green? Because she says "it's the most positive color in the world, You can wake up really miserable in the morning and then you get dressed and turn green and it’s quite wonderful."

So what does the fact that I almost always wear black say about me?

Some gingerbread houses are made to be eaten, others are made to look pretty on the table as a centerpiece, but one of the gingerbread houses pictured above might actually kill you if you eat it.

Can you guess which one? It's hard to tell, isn't it?

That's the point of this Christmas themed experiment, posted by Redditor Mmnking to see if people can tell the difference between a gingerbread house made of candy and one made with pharmaceutical medicines:

A little bit of backstory - a friend of my mum works in a poisons department at a children's hospital in Sydney. She made this, to be blown up into a poster, but didn't have a good camera other than her phone. She rang up, and I took the photos for her with a nice DSLR. I thought it was pretty interesting, as a ridiculous number of the people I asked couldn't tell which was which, so I figured I'd share it here.

So which one is the killer treat? If you guessed the one on the left you're right! Now imagine how hard it would be for a child to tell the difference between the two...

It's easy to tell when you're reading a good fantasy novel because you can't put it down, but telling bad fantasy apart from the good is even easier- unless you're among the uninitiated.

Those who haven't read much fantasy fiction won't necessarily know the difference between the really good stuff and the ludicrously bad, and therefore may wind up reading something utterly devoid of merit.

But if you start your initiation by reading the purposely awful snippets put out by Awful Fantasy Twitter account you'll become a fantasy fiction mastermind in no time!

Remember that little drinking bird toy that fascinated us when we were young because it would "drink" all day long without batteries or an obvious power source?

Many of us think these perpetual motion machines run on magic when we're young, but then we become better educated on the laws of thermodynamics and discover the drinking bird is a thirsty little liar.

(YouTube Link)

Jon Farrow of the Royal Institution joined Tom Scott to discuss how to debunk perpetual motion machines by locating their hidden power source, starting with that basic water drinking bird:

There are two major systems at play here- the first is an external one to do with evaporation- the bird's head gets loaded with water, and then this water is allowed to evaporate. As you'll know if you've ever worked up a sweat when liquids evaporate they cool down their surroundings. The second one is an internal one to do with the red fluid here. This fluid is quite volatile, and has a boiling point close to room temperature- it's being pushed and pulled up the neck of the bird depending on the temperature of the head. When the head is cold the liquid is sucked up, and when it's warm the liquid drains into the base. This shifts the center of gravity of the bird allowing it to continue rocking so long as it has a ready supply of water.

Before nurses can become badass medical professionals who help treat patients and make a hospital run smoothly they must undergo a sort of trial by fire as a student nurse.

“My patient rang his bell saying he needed the toilet. As soon as he stood up the floodgates, front and back, opened. Luckily I had a pad on me, but what I didn’t know as a student was that pads weren’t designed to capture free flowing liquid straight away. At this point I was on my knees panicking and praying it wouldn’t get on my face because it kept going and going and going. Let’s just say my late shift couldn’t have ended any worse.” -Via katrinaa47dd0dc38

Or maybe it's more accurate to call it a trial by blood, feces, urine, screaming and cursing, because student nurses have to deal with some really sick and disturbing stuff before they can become a full fledged RN.

“I was looking after a child who had been putting push pins into a nerf gun and using it to pop balloons. I guess one of the pins got stuck so he turned it round to look down the barrel and… Yeah. Pin in the eye.” -Via tammyf10

But the added bonus of facing these traumatic experiences for the sake of saving lives is you get to share your war stories with the world.

“I was on ward round on a urology ward. They doctor told me prior to going into a patients room that the patient had a hydrocele (sack of fluid that firms around the testicular area). I had no idea what this was but nodded along politely and went into the room. The patient whips his pants down without a being prompted and revealed that I can only describe as a space hopper between his legs. I was in stunned silence and don’t know where to look. Reminded me of Randy Marsh in that South Park episode!” -Via jamesh4143d3ae2

BuzzFeed asked nurses in their community to share horror stories from their student days, and as expected they got some extremely eye-popping responses!

“On my first day on my first placement as a student nurse, I was looking after a dementia patient, and no one told me he had a fake eye. I was horrified when he pulled his eye out of its socket and rolled it down the corridor. I went running after it to give it back to him… he washed it in his orange juice and put it back in his socket while I stood there in surprise.” -Via laurenc4f2c3d039

Artificial limbs are first and foremost made to function properly, with durability and realism the second and third most important features, but few amputees receive an artificial limb that looks like a work of art.

But industrial designer Scott Summit aims to change that with his artsy yet totally functional artificial limbs, which are one-of-a-kind works of art so amputees can wear their artificial limbs with pride.

Scott has been creating artificial limbs for 20 years, which has given him the knowledge and experience to create prosthetics that look delicate but are actually quite durable.

Each prosthetic limb is 3D printed and created to the wearer's specifications, allowing them to add their own ideas to the design instead of being stuck with the same old generic looking prosthetic.

Before there was the Batgirl we know and love there was Batwoman, who was meant to be a one-off and yet was so popular she stuck around for a minute and even had her own Bat-Girl sidekick.

But Batwoman and the original Bat-Girl were left behind in the Silver Age, making room for Barbara Gordon to don the cape and cowl and become the more enduring version of Batgirl.

Barbara's Batgirl is a full-fledged member of the Bat Family and an integral part of the team, even after she was shot by The Joker and became the wheelchair bound hacker Oracle, and over the years she has proven her worth in more ways than one.

But this infographic created by Fun.com isn't about her abilities- it's all about her costume, which has gone through some colorful changes over the five decades since she made her first appearance in 1966.

Animals generally have but one rule when it comes to choosing a place to chill- "If I fits, I sits".

This philosophy can lead to embarrassing situations for humans, but for cats and dogs and such living by "if I fits, I sits" ensures they feel cozy and secure wherever they choose to sit, or lay or whatever.

(Image Link)

Now the great thing about animals living by this motto is that ALL animals live by this motto, so there are plenty of killer fitting and sitting moments to capture and caption.

Why are you lion around, GET BACK TO WORK!

Yeah I know, that was a bad one, so it's a good thing many "If I Fits, I Sits" pics are already captioned! They're Meowchael Scott approved!

Do you know why most family themed movies and TV shows feature a cringeworthy scene with a parent walking in on a kid doing something shameful in their bedroom?

My daughter just turned two. A few weeks ago I went to check on her after I had laid her down for bedtime. I stood outside the door listening and kept hearing a weird noise and then hearing some giggling. So I opened the door and started watching and she was making herself fart and then laughing hysterically at herself. Apparently she can fart on command. -via youreawizardhailley

Because it's one of the most common shared experiences in our lives, and it happens to so many of us during puberty that the shared shame makes us laugh...after we're full grown, of course.

I was like 13, and I wanted to know what boobs felt like, so I put balloons down my shirt. Then started to masturbate. Dad walked in, walked right back out -via leumasperron

Of course, parents don't always walk in on their kids doing NSFW stuff- sometimes they walk in on their kids acting a bit nutty-

Like many sports fans, I'd play imaginary baseball in my yard. I was about 7 or 8 when my parents witnessed this. I'm coming around to score and get called out, but I clearly beat the tag, so I argued with the umpire (argument lasted about 5 minutes) and was ejected, which made me more angry. My mom watched the entire debacle from her window, presumably laughing hysterically. -via awsears25

But our "mom/dad walked in on me..." stories all have one thing in common- the embarrassment factor, which they hold over our heads for the rest of our lives:

I don't remember myself, but my parents loooove to tell me about the time they found me dancing naked on the kitchen table to the final jeopardy music at age 2 or 3 . -via jcsatan

Kangaroo bucks can be mighty aggressive, threatening the lives of people and pets and scaring the wits out of anyone they hop after, which is why people pack heat when they're out in the wilds of Australia

But zookeeper Greig Tonkins clearly doesn't need a gun to handle himself, and when his dog's life was threatened by an ornery kangaroo he came to the dog's defense and boxed the 'roo right back.

(YouTube Link)

Now it's easy to judge Greig for punching the kangaroo, but consider this:

a) kangaroos have been known to kill other animals

b) Greig has worked with kangaroos for six years at the Taronga Western Plains Zoo so he knows a thing or two about dealing with kangaroo bucks

c) the roo had his dog in a headlock, so he reacted as if his dog's life were in danger.

d) many Australians would have simply shot the thing even after the dog was freed, since Australians "cull" about 5 million kangaroos a year to keep the population managable,

As you can see, there is no black and white when it comes to Greig's actions, and I don't know about you but I would have done the same thing in a heartbeat to save my dog's life.

There are plenty of awful videos on YouTube which you can use to torture your eyeballs and scar your brain, but why would you want to watch such horrible things?

Instead, expose your eyeballs to the wonderful world of factory food processing videos, where you'll witness massive machines turn normal shaped food into paste, but that's not all!

(YouTube Link)

These videos also feature funky synth jazz tunes, which are the perfect soundtrack for that food factory life and therefore helps them sell machines to food factory processing engineers.

Slate's Shon Arieh-Lerer shared his strange obsession with factory food processing videos on YouTube with the world, and now it feels like season one of How It's Made all over again!

Gamers have been making virtual artwork in Minecraft since the game first came out five years ago, but overall their creations have been kept simple and square, like 3D versions of 8- or 16-bit pixel art.

However, the art created in Minecraft is limited only by the artist's imagination, dedication and the amount of time they have available to organize thousands, if not millions, of cubes into a detailed work of digital art.

The new book Beautiful Minecraft by No Starch Press collects images of some of the more epic and impressive works created by Minecraft players, including the piece Deep Sea created by nine builders in six days using 32 million blocks.

The piece at the top of the post is Vegard Elseth's Lindblum Gate, which took 60 days and 300 thousand blocks to build, followed by Will Loader's A Futuristic Past, which took 28 days and 9 million blocks to build.

And that simply gorgeous looking landscape shot? That's Andrzej Czerniewski's Magic Of Colors, which took him 22 days to build and contains 7 billion blocks.

I wonder how long it would take to create a 3D print of each piece...

Drawing with pen and ink can take a really long time, and artists who work in ink like to take their time and get it right because they may only have one chance to get it right.

Japanese illustrator Manabu Ikeda spent ten hours a day for three and a half years creating his massive pen and ink masterpiece "Rebirth", how's that for slow?!

Manabu's incredibly detailed masterpiece measures 13 X 10 feet wide, and features a gnarly tree growing up and out of crashing tsunami waves and other destructive forces.

"Rebirth" was inspired by Japan's rebirth after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake, so it was obviously a labor of love for Manabu as well as an epic scale way to show off his drawing skills.

“My goal is to faithfully express my view of the world in my composition, but I don’t intentionally depict detailed images,” he told the Chazen Museum of Art. “Because I see details when I observe things, rather than the whole, I find pen and ink to be the best tools to express how I see them.”

Nowadays TV networks like TBS and AMC will play A Christmas Story for 24 hours straight, so viewers can watch their favorite holiday movie all day long if they want

And yet no matter how many times you've seen it there are probably all sorts of little things you missed or didn't really pay attention to- like Scut Farkus's braces.

A Christmas Story is set in the 1940s and yet Scut the Bully is wearing braces that are bonded to his teeth, which weren't invented until the 70s.

Ralphie's dad gets a colored bowling ball for Christmas, which wasn't invented until the 60s. When Ralphie almost shoots his eye out his glasses are knocked to the ground, where we can see they're three-barrel hinged- a style which didn't exist until the 1980s.

You see where I'm going with this? See how many historical inaccuracies you can spot next time you watch the movie!

Also watch for these cameos- director Bob Clark as Ralphie's Neighbor Swede (pic at top of post), and narrator Jean Shepherd (aka the guy who wrote the original stories the film is based on) as the cranky bearded man who tells Ralphie to get to the back of the line for Santa.
