1 Up Princess - Itsa Floating Away!


1 Up Princess by Fishbiscuit

Mario always finished levels by jumping on the flagpole then walking straight through the castle door, but something was different about the first level in UP world. Mario got through the level without a scratch, defeated a big, dumb bird named Kevin, and jumped up on that flagpole, but that's when things started to get strange. The fireworks went off, Mario jumped down and headed towards the castle door, but before he could officially finish the level the castle floated away!

V8 ACCELERATE - Sci-Fi Speed Shop


V8 ACCELERATE by Scott Neilson

When Dale founded K's Motor Shop he had no idea what sort of people his humble hot rod shop would attract, but before he knew it Dale was neck deep in rolling alien trash cans looking for a V8 upgrade. Those far out alien freaks were looking to exterminate some rat rodder known as The Doctor, so they ordered Dale to slap his most rod-tastic engine into their strange armor suits so they'd be ready to rip up the competition. But when The Doctor showed up pushing a blue police box shaped coffin rod Dale started rooting for the other team!

The Wonderful World Of Wonder Woman Cosplay

Wonder Woman is one of the most enduring characters in comic book history, and even though she doesn't look like she has aged a day she has lived many different lives, and worn many different costumes, in the last 74 years. 

Here's a collection of 30 different incarnations of Wonder Woman, most of which were actually inspired by looks seen in the pages of Wonder Woman comic books.

1. Little Wonder Girl-

Wonder Woman is an inspiration to people of all ages, but nobody idolizes the Amazonian warrior princess more than young girls. This heroic little Wonder Girl looks like she's ready to battle any bullies who threaten freedom on the playground.

2. Wonder Woman in Fancy Ball Gown-

When Diana Prince gets dressed up for a superhero's ball she likes to keep her look formal and fancy, and this unknown cosplayer perfectly captures that Wonder-fully fancy ball gown look in her mighty poofy dress.

3. Rockabilly Wonder Woman-

This rockin' good Rockabilly Wonder Woman costume is part of a retro inspired group costume created by cast members from The Home of Happiness Rocky Horror Picture Show Shadowcast for New York Comic Con in 2013.

You can see the rest of their ensemble here, and while the Rockabilly Batman costume is definitely inspired by Denis Medri's drawings, the rest of the group came up with their own original creations.

4. Atomic Wonder Woman-

Who needs a sword when you've got a chainsaw spear?! Cosplayer Meagan Marie created this extremely cool costume based on the post apocalyptic Atomic Wonder Woman character that appears in the game Infinite Crisis.

A Pair Of Hulk Hands Magically Change A Young Nerd's Life

Finding a pair of Hulk hands would make any Marvelite’s day, and the discoverer would probably take the hands home and set them on a shelf like a good little collector, but Hulk hands aren’t made for sitting- they’re made for SMASHING!

Now imagine if that smashing power was discovered by a wimpy nerd who was always getting picked on by a pack of jocks and you’ve imagined the premise of a short film called "The Incredible Hulk Hands" by Ari Fararooy.

(Vimeo Link)

"The Incredible Hulk Hands" kinda looks like an anti-bullying film made by Wes Anderson in collaboration with comedy troupe The State. It's genuinely funny, quirky in all the right ways, and even manages to add a touch of heart to the tale of nerdy David versus a jock triumvirate version of Goliath.

Rare Childhood Photographs Of Frida Kahlo Taken By Her Father Guillermo

Frida Kahlo's life was well documented, and both her (mostly self portrait) paintings and the hundreds of photographs taken of her and her husband Diego Rivera help paint a pretty clear picture of their life together. But there's one part of Frida's life that's not so well known- her happy childhood.

Frida grew up in La Casa Azul with her adoring father Guillermo and mother Matilde, and no matter what was happening outside the walls of that blue house the scene inside was one of love and adoration. 

Guillermo adored his darling Frida, and he delighted in photographically documenting her young life, a practice that most assuredly inspired Frida's later love of self portraiture. 

It’s almost surreal to see Frida playing with a dolly or posing with friends in pretty dresses and big bows, but even the most far out artists often come from quite normal households.

Ten Products With Unfortunate Names And What Those Names Actually Mean

Naming is an important part of brand identity, and product names often go through different stages of development, from focus group testing to branding, before being slapped on a label and sold in stores. But even with all this testing and discussion terrible brand names sometimes slip through, and other times what we perceive as being a bad brand name is simply a matter of mistranslation.

Here are the stories behind ten products with seemingly unfortunate names, and the real story behind their bad brand names:

1. Tastes Like Grandma Homemade Jam- 

(Image Link)

Let's start off the list with a lighthearted entry- Tastes Like Grandma Homemade Jam, which derives its bad name from a typo.

Add an apostrophe and the letter S after Grandma and you've got a normal product, leave it like it is and it sounds like a spread beloved by cannibals and zombie cosplayers! If they ever come out with a Tomacco flavored jam they can slap Ralph Wiggum's face on the label and cash in!

2. Barf Detergent-

(Image Link)

Generally folks are trying to clean the barf out of their clothes rather than trying to clean their clothes with barf, so this detergent probably isn't a top seller in English speaking countries. However, Barf is probably a fine cleaning product, and the word "barf" is Persian for "snow" so it makes sense after all!

3. Pee Cola-

(Image Link)

Pee cola is brewed and bottled in Ghana out of cola, sugar and soda water, so it's not pee as you and I know it, that is until it comes out again. In this case the "pee" in Pee Cola actually means "Very Good", and this popular soda pop's sales certainly don't suffer due to mistranslation.

Lost Martin Luther King, Jr. Speech Discovered In UCLA Storage

(Image Credit: Stephen Somerstein/Getty Images)

When Martin Luther King, Jr.’s legacy is discussed it’s a sure bet one of his famous speeches is a big part of that discussion.

His I Have A Dream speech has come to represent the ideals of the Civil Rights Movement, and the Speech at the Great March on Detroit and The Birth Of A New Nation are both considered socially and historically important speeches that helped shape the nation into what it is today. 

It turns out King's catalog of oration has been missing one important item for many years- a speech he gave at UCLA on April 27, 1965. The long lost recording of this speech was recently discovered in a storage room by archivist Derek Bolin and chair of UCLA Department of Communication Studies Tim Groeling, and thanks to their efforts to preserve history we can now hear the speech in its entirety here

Horror Rhapsody - Very, Very Frightning Me


Horror Rhapsody by Absolem Studio

They were tired of simply slashing their way through the local teen population, and those four fiends were looking for a new outlet for their supernatural frustration.

Thanks to all the time they were saving by not having to chase after people and hack them to bits they were able to explore another artistic avenue for their frightful show- costume design!

Cookie Mobster - C Is For Chocolate Chip...And Crime


Cookie Mobster by Sophie Corrigan

When the cookie supplies started to run dry CM took it in stride, but when the government instituted a ban on cookies and other baked goods Cookie went from Monster to Mobster overnight. He enlisted the aid of his purple monster pal Telly, who happened to be Sesame's best bookmaker, and together the two monsters turned mobsters took over the street and started their own cookie making operation. And if it hadn't been for that bird and his big mouth they probably would've gotten away with all the chocolate chip cookies they could eat, but instead they were left holding an empty bag from Mr. Hooper's store and a pile of crumbs...

Ghost Of A Rose - Memento Viventium


Ghost of a Rose by JBonnetteArt

They'd been searching for some sign of the Treasure of the Rose's whereabouts for weeks, and yet they came up empty handed at every turn, but just when they were about to declare it a myth they saw a glint from behind a boulder on the face of the cove's rock wall. They dug where the beam of light shone through and found the rocks fell away quite easily from the wall, revealing a chamber and the stench created by decades of decay. They flipped on their flashlights and looked around the space, their eyes immediately drawn to a bright and shining object held aloft in a skeleton's hand...

Old Gamer by Nicholas Ginty

The teenage turtles already have an animated series, three or four in fact and just as many movies, but that cartoon show starring ol' Batsy looks so much cooler! They were dying to see what it was like to hang out in the shadows looking all tough and cool, with lightning flashing behind them while they stand on a rooftop larger than life. But once they'd crossed over to that alternate animated universe they discovered to their horror that the pizza on the other side totally sucked, so with a "cowabunga!" they ninja'd their way home.
