12 Ocarina Of Time Comics That Will Fill Your Heart Containers With Laughter

Even though The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time came out for the Nintendo 64 back in 1998 it continues to fill the heart containers of gamers young and old with joy while it fills their heads with sweet little ocarina ditties.

While Majora's Mask may have more of a fan art presence, Ocarina of Time has something that other game doesn't- lots more gameplay elements that can easily be made fun of in comic strip form.

Dorkly has gathered 12 Ocarina Of Time Comics That Will Fill Your Heart Container to remind you how a classic video game is just like an ocarina- it's fun to play, looks cool on your shelf, and people tend to make fun of you for liking it so much!

Map Hanging In Firehouse Has Hidden NSFW Image

Firefighting is, and has always been, a male dominated profession, and as such many fire stations feel like a boy's club complete with cheeky posters and calendars hanging on the wall.

But one seemingly innocent geological survey map from the "Department of the Exterior" hung on a firehouse wall for years before Imgur user Shinygreencloud noticed its NSFW secret.

Now we can't show you the full image here on Neatorama (click here to see it), but what we can show you is the way cutting out the naughty bits makes it look like an ordinary map.

And if you view it full size and read what's written on the map the dirty joke suddenly becomes clear. Now that's one clever way to conceal smut!

How Some Asian Cultures Use Chopsticks Differently

Chopsticks are used by many different Asian cultures in many different ways, and considering they've been around for an estimated six thousand years it'd be silly to think otherwise.

But it seems how they're used, what they're made out of and what they're used to eat varies by country rather than by type of cuisine.

In Japan chopsticks are used to eat anything that's not considered hand food, and the debate whether sushi is hand food or not rages on.

In Hong Kong and mainland China chopsticks are used for traditional rice and noodle dishes, and any western foods are eaten with knife and fork.

And in Thailand chopsticks are often used to load up your spoon with ingredients from the bowl before you take a bite.

Mashable asked foodies from various countries how chopsticks are used in their culture, and it seems the one thing they all agree on is this- don't stick them in your bowl standing straight up, as this is symbolically associated with death.

The Time Keith Richards Wanted To Stab Donald Trump

Back in 1989 the Rolling Stones were winding up their Steel Wheels tour and looking to do a pay-per-view broadcast, but the only place tour manager Michael Cohl could find to book was the Donald Trump's Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City.

The Stones were not happy about Cohl's decision to hire Trump as promoter for the pay-per-view event, as Cohl recounted at a Pollstar event:

I opened my big mouth in the meeting with The Rolling Stones where they go, "This is all great, but we're not going to be affiliated with Donald Trump. At all. Screw you." And I go, "I will control Donald Trump! Don't you worry!"

So, we signed the contract. Donald agrees that he will not be in any of the promotion except in Atlantic City, and he will not show up at the gig!

The Stones were then set to give an interview before the show, but Trump swooped in and made himself the star of the show:

I give him the [come here gesture]. "Come on, Donald, what are you doing? A) You promised us you wouldn't even be here and, B) you promised you would never do this." He says, "But they begged me to go up, Michael! They begged me to go up!" I say, "Stop it. Stop it. This could be crazy. Do what you said you would. Don't make a liar of yourself."

The Stones were understandably upset about the Don's double-cross, but Keith Richards was downright livid:

They call me back, at which point Keith pulls out his knife and slams it on the table and says, "What the hell do I have you for? Do I have to go over there and fire him myself? One of us is leaving the building – either him, or us." I said, "No. I'll go do it. Don't you worry."

Don't mess with knife wielding vampires, Donald, or you might get cut...

Website Summarizes Every Test Performed On Mythbusters

Now that the Mythbusters have officially called it quits many fans are starting to fill in the gaps by watching every episode they missed over the last twelve years.

But very few people have enough spare time to watch every episode over again, so here's a better idea- MythResults, a website that summarizes every single test Adam and Jamie performed on the show.

MythResults delivers the busted, plausible or confirmed results for each of the over 1,000 myths in one sentence, and they've even included a link to each episode's main page, so you can get the full story fast.

If Randy Newman Created The Soundtrack For Batman V Superman

It's easy to identify a Randy Newman soundtrack song, and his scruffy dog voice and hammy piano tinkling has sent many a movie viewer home with one of Randy's songs stuck in their heads.

However, Randy's cinematic track record wasn't enough to convince director Zack Snyder to hire him for the new superhero flick Batman V Superman, which is why that movie is sure to suck.

Cheers to Bad Movie Drinking Game for showing us what every single superhero movie has been missing- a soundtrack by Randy Newman!

Ten Of The Most Memorable Pop Culture Moments Shared On Twitter

Twitter has officially been around for a decade now, and in that time Twitter didn't revolutionize the way we share on social media, nor did it kill Facebook or Instagram like so many claimed it would.

Instead it quietly made history in one hundred forty characters or less, serving as a platform for discussion and promotion that even the POTUS could get behind.

There have been plenty of magical moments shared via Tweets in the last ten years, including Ellen DeGeneres' epic “selfie” at the 2014 Academy Awards.

The Fox show Drive became the first TV show to live-tweet with fans, which is now common practice, and Beyonce almost broke Twitter when she announced she and Jay-Z were expecting their first child.

It remains to be seen whether Twitter will be around for another ten years, but the first decade was certainly something to chirp about!

Village Set From The 1980 Popeye Movie Is Now A Fun Tourist Destination

The iconic look of that quaint seaside village featured prominently in the 1980 motion picture adaptation of Popeye makes it seem like a location from another time, but surprisingly it was built in Anchor Bay, Malta for the movie.

Designed by Wolf Kroeger, the elaborately detailed and fully functional set took a crew seven months to build, and when the filming was done they didn't have the heart to tear it down so they left it up for future generations to enjoy.

(Image Link)

Today it's a popular tourist destination dubbed “Popeye Village”, where visitors can rub elbows with scrappy, spinach munching sailors and spindly-limbed dames named after cooking oil.

Six Times An Online Poll Ended In Hilarious Disaster

(Image Link)

When polls required respondents to mail in their vote far fewer crackpots chimed in and therefore most polls ended with usable results, but then the internet came along and changed all that.

Since everyone and their brother are online these days everyone gets a vote, including the people who think it's reasonable to name an important ship Boaty McBoatface or an endangered humpback whale Mr. Splashy Pants.

It seems online voters like a good laugh, which is why Nancy Upton came in first in American Apparel's "Next Big Thing" contest to find a new plus sized model.

She made herself the most ironic choice by posing for a series of "sexy" photos taken by Shannon Skloss that lampoon those sexy American Apparel ads that make people lose their appetites.

Masterful Paint Job Turns Millennium Falcon Toy Into Camera Ready Model

The differences between models used in feature films and the toys of today are negligible, and the incredible detail found on most licensed toys makes kids feel like they own a piece of their favorite films.

To demonstrate how easy it is to turn a toy into a camera ready model artist Tristan Elliott added a masterful paint job to Hasbro's Battle Action Millennium Falcon toy and turned it into a ship Chewie would be proud to co-pilot.

Tristan added damage and distress details to the otherwise dull gray ship, and with each new added detail another piece of the puzzle of how the Falcon ended up on Jakku falls into place.

The Dark Sides Of Canada That Nobody Ever Talks About

(Image Link)

America's neighbors to the north are often portrayed as excessively polite, super nice, gentle and considerate people who serve as the yang to America's violent and boorish yin.

But, as we've learned from the eye opening documentary series Trailer Park Boys, there are plenty of violent Canadian criminals and dirty little secrets hiding beneath all that snow and maple syrup.

From the yearly clubbing of half a million seals to the overconsumption of horse meat, from Quebec's history of slavery for the sake of social status to the residential school system that forced indigenous people to learn the Canadian way, Canada's got some 'splainin' to do!

What You're Saying To The World With Your Facial Hair

Your facial hair is the first thing people see when they look at your face, and when your chin hairs enter the room before the rest of your face you can be sure people are going to stare at it and wonder.

Sometimes they're wondering why you don't shave it all off, or what you would look like when you're clean shaven, and a few jealous facial hair fans will wonder how long it took you to grow out your fabulous look.

But as you'll see in this illustrated guide created by Caldwell Tanner and Susanna Wolff your beard and moustache typically does most of the talking for you, giving the world a hairy glimpse into your soul.

Anime Tokyo Versus The Real Life Version

If animators have done their job well then viewers don't think too hard about how they designed their backgrounds or characters, they just watch the wonderful animation and go squee.

But all artists work with real life reference, and for anime this reference often includes photos of Japanese cities like Tokyo that serve as a backdrop for the storyline.

The 2013 anime feature The Garden Of Words takes place in Tokyo, so director Makoto Shinkai used photo reference to create stunningly beautiful backgrounds that set the picture firmly in the city during the rainy season.

You can see how the anime backgrounds created by Makoto Shinkai are virtually indistinguishable from the original location reference photos here, a testament to the artistry and attention to detail that goes into the making of anime feature films.

A High Tech Spy Pistol That Looks Exactly Like A Smartphone

Subterfuge and masterful disguises are a big part of the spy game, and if James Bond has taught us anything spies also like to use lots of cool gadgets while they're gathering information.

Spy gadgets are often cool because they look like other stuff, like a camera that looks like a pack of cigarettes, an umbrella dart gun or, in this case, a pistol that looks just like a smartphone.

The Ideal Conceal Double Barrel .380 caliber pistol has a grip that folds out when it's time to pull the trigger, a built-in laser sight and flashlight, and a handy belt clip for when you're through being cool.

Be Less Stupid Is A Show For People Who Like To Know Stuff

The world could use a few more people who have their minds set on being less stupid, because those folks seem to be in short supply these days and the internet only makes it easier to skate by without a brain.

So maybe what we need is a new web series aimed at turning the tides of dumbness, a series with a catchy title like Be Less Stupid, yeah, that's the ticket! (NSFW due to language)

(YouTube Link)

Be Less Stupid is a new series by former Penn & Teller: Bulls#%t! and Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher writer Jon Hotchkiss, who exposes the truth about hot button issues like Coke bleaching, cabin depressurization and whether having sex with a pregnant woman poses a threat to the infant. You know, smart people stuff!
