The Empty Cup Of Care by Soulful

You've heard that old saying about the cup being half empty or half full, right? Okay, well here's the thing- some people see the cup as forever empty, because they never have any care in their cups. They don't see emptiness or fullness, positive or negative, happy or sad, they just live life knowing their cup of caring will forever remain empty as those happy half full and mopey half empty chuckleheads go around caring enough for everyone else!

Bring home a fresh pot of apathy with this The Empty Cup Of Care t-shirt by Soulful, it's perfect for those who are tired of all the shiny happy shirts out there that don't suit their "whatevs" state of mind.

Player Discovers Mortal Kombat's Secret Menus After Over 20 Years

Mortal Kombat brought the dark side to fighting games in the early 90s, and once gamers started finishing off their opponents with brutal fatalities they couldn't get enough.

But, like most arcade machines, there seemed to be nothing more to the game than what's presented after you plunk in a quarter, until one player's button mashing led to an amazing discovery.

It seems the game's creator Ed J. Boon put a hidden menu in the original arcade versions of Mortal Kombat 1, 2 and 3, and whoever enters the right button "code" can do all kinds of cool behind-the-scenes stuff via the "EJB Menu".

All secret characters can be instantly unlocked, you can watch endings for various characters, see every fatality, run diagnostics and play virtually impossible Galaga clone the "Penacho/Miller Game".

Here's a video posted by discoverer YourMKArcadeSource showing all the cool stuff found in the EJB Menu:

Martian Grown Potatoes - Sustenance For The Stranded


Martian Grown Potatoes by Pacalin

They said it couldn't be done, but the astronaut they took to calling the Martian proved it was possible to grow fresh potatoes on Mars. Truth be told, growing food took Mark's mind off of the fact that he'd been left behind, and gave him hope that he might survive long enough to get rescued off the red planet and see his beloved planet Earth again some day...

Add some tasty sci-fi flavor to your geeky wardrobe with this Martian Grown Potatoes t-shirt by Pacalin, it's a great way to wow your fellow movie fans!

This 110-Year-Old Woman Proves Being A Centenarian Is For The Birds

Make it to your golden years and people will start turning a blind eye to your foul language, daytime drinking and surly attitude, and if you're still alive after a century you can do whatever the heck you want!

When Flossie Dickey was interviewed by Good Day Spokane on her 110th birthday she wasn't terribly thrilled about the day, much to the chagrin of the bubbly reporter interviewing her.

But we did learn a few things about living past one hundred- you no longer get excited about parties.

Space Out On These Galactic Cats

Some cats act like they're from another planet, others simply like to space out on laser beams and any bug that happens to be passing by, but felines are just far out that way and that's just another reason why we love them.

If cats are the center of your critter universe then you'll probably enjoy this "Galaxy Cats" series by illustrator Jen Bartel, where kitties and stuff from outer space collide.

Jen's passion project has grown to include a bevy of different cat breeds, from the pouty Persian to the bratty Bombay to the extra fluffy Norwegian Forest Cat, all of which are available as prints in Jen's shop. It's a mashup made in the heavens!

All The Cool Stuff That Was Too Expensive To Include In Deadpool

It's a sad but true fact that movie studios didn't have much faith in Deadpool, and if Ryan Reynolds hadn't championed the picture it may not have made it to the big screen.

But now I bet the studio is wishing their box office projections had been a bit more accurate, because they could have left in all kinds of cool stuff that ended up on the cutting room floor.

io9 put together a comprehensive collection of Everything That Was Too Expensive To Include In Deadpool, and in the interest of remaining spoiler free here's a partial list of what was cut:

a bartender, a guy with robot arms, a young member of the X-Men, a couple of villains, a couple of heroes and lots of sweet action scenes. 'Nuff said!

Kanye Doesn't Even Have To Be Awake To Take The Internet By Storm

(Image Link)

Poor Kanye can't seem to catch a break these days- first he came forth and claimed he's broke, then Pizza Hut trolled him on Twitter him by offering him a job.

And then Kim snaps a shot of Kanye and North snoozing in the middle of a department store and hands it over to the internet trolls on a silver platter.

(Image Link)

Now we all know what happens when you're caught sleeping on the job, and just because Kanye is "the No. 1 most impactful artist of our generation" doesn't mean he can knock out wherever and whenever he likes.

(Image Link)

Kanye has proven time and again that his life is more fantasy than reality, so "the voice of this generation" may have seen the Photoshops as a way to be "reborn"

(Image Link)

But secretly the Sleeping Kanye Photoshops probably made him as sad as a Keanu, as he dreamed of a day when the world would simply let him be "Shakespeare in the flesh". Shakespeare in the park is more like it, amirite?!

This Woman Says She's A Cat Trapped In The Wrong Body

There will always be people who don't feel comfortable in their own skin, convinced they were born the wrong sex, wrong ethnicity or, in a few extreme cases, wrong species.

It's easy to dismiss them as crazy or disturbed, but the truth is our identities define who we are, and if we don't feel comfortable in the skin we're in there are plenty of surgical ways to make our skin more suiting.

But in the case of Nano from Norway doctors have yet to invent a surgical procedure to solve her identity problem- because she believes she is a cat trapped in a human body.

Nano now prefers to speak in meows, hisses at dogs because her "instinct automatically reacts by hissing", and always wears ears and a tail in order to feel more feline.

(YouTube Link)

Nano seems like a kitty trapped in a human body, but does she use a human sized litter box, or is she one of those fancy "toilet trained" kitties?

Images From That Magical World Known As Japan

Japanese weirdness is like a visual drug for otakus, weeaboos and japanophiles who love to eat it all up one crazy colored image at a time, while everybody else either gets a kick out of the Japanese sense of strange or finds it mildly disturbing.

(Image Link)

But BuzzFeed's 29 Pictures That Prove Japan Is The Most WTF Country On Earth is a fun feast for every eyeball...as long as you can get past the (NSFW) pink "parade float" at the top of the post.

Venture forth and you'll be treated to sumo wrestlers holding crying babies, dinosaur receptionists, women wearing cicadas like fashion accessories, and this real life superhero who helps moms carry their strollers down the stairs.

Sniffing Out The Truth About The Orgasm Mushroom

There's a bawdy tale told of a fungus that grows wild in Hawaii which is rumored to induce orgasms in women who sniff it, but like many of these wild tales the truth has never been truly confirmed.

The claim was made by John C. Holliday in his paper "Spontaneous female orgasms triggered by the smell of a newly found tropical Dictyophora Desv. species", research John says began when local women spoke of sniffing a mushroom that "made them feel funny".

But science writer and Postdoctoral scholar Dr. Christie Wilcox wasn't convinced by John's claims, so she set out to discover the truth for herself, a journey that became Expedition Ecstasy: Sniffing Out The Truth About Hawai'i's Orgasm-Inducing Mushroom.

It's an interesting look at what it takes to turn local lore into hard science, and Christie's story proves once again that if something sounds too good to be true it probably is...and it most likely smells like crap.

A Japanese Guy Recounts American History In Early Animated Short By Trey Parker

The hit series South Park came from humble beginnings, growing out of an animated short by Trey Parker and Matt Stone called "The Spirit Of Christmas",which was shown at indie film festivals like Spike & Mike's Festival Of Animation.

But Trey had already created another construction paper short before "The Spirit Of Christmas" called "American History", which was written and narrated by Parker's college roommate Junichi Nishimura.

(YouTube Link)

The sound is pretty jacked up which makes it hard to understand Junichi at times, but if you want to make it even more difficult turn on the captions!

Guy Falls Asleep At Work, Internet Sends Him On Photoshop Adventures

(Image Link)

It's not uncommon for people to fall asleep at work, but most of the time they go and grab a cup of coffee or tea and take a walk to wake up, getting away with passing out while on the clock.

But bad employees like TheOrangeDuke (aka sleeping beauty in the image above) don't care about getting caught, and they'll sleep for hours at their desk even if it's only their second day at work.

When his fellow employees found TheOrangeDuke crashed out at his desk they took the logical next step- they submitted his photo to Reddit for a hard day's work in a Photoshop Battle.

His fellow employees were clearly sympathetic about his lack of sleep, and even though they poked fun at TheOrangeDuke they secretly wished they were snoozing too.

But then things turned ugly when TheOrangeDuke's boss showed up in his dreams, threatening to slash his wages and make his employed life a living nightmare if he didn't wake the hell up!

Tinder Users Who Were Extremely Candid With Their Dating Profile

(Via Reddit)

Many people on dating sites like Tinder tell lies to help them hook up, and it's so common nowadays that everyone assumes our dating profiles are as padded as our resumés.

But those who like to keep it real don't mind letting a potential match take a peek behind the curtain and see who they really are, even if that means they get left swiped more often.

(Via Reddit)

Insecure daters could learn a thing or two about how to live fierce and fearless from these brave Tinder users, and their profiles are a refreshing change of pace from the usual pack of lies.

If you're totally conceited then be up front about it, that way your dates will know what they're getting themselves in to before they come face-to-face with royalty.

Terrible Marketing Mistakes Nobody Seemed To Notice

Marketing disasters are some of the most buzzed about incidents in the world of product branding and advertising, because people barely remember most good ads but they always remember a failure.

And yet companies will continue to blunder when it comes to marketing because they believe constantly changing their look and advertisements keep them fresh in the eyes of consumers.

Who can forget the time Nike decided their line of clothing created to honor female Olympians need the slogan "Gold Digging" emblazoned across the chest, now that's keeping it fresh!

The best a big brand can hope for is that nobody will notice when they fail miserably with their latest marketing campaign, which happens more often than you'd think.

Heck, nobody stopped drinking Bud Light after they put the rapiest sounding slogan ever on their bottles- "The perfect beer for removing 'no' from your vocabulary for the night".

I bet the people responsible for that ad campaign wish their crappy beer could remove memories as well as vocabulary words!
