Samuel L. Jackson is by far one of our favorite tweeters, thanks to Jimmy Fallon who taught the celeb how to use the social media site. For one, he made the 2012 Olympics that much more entertaining with statements like, "Did that Russian just do the 'whoa Gurl Whut wuz in That Drank, dat Sh*t wuz Skrong' Vault landing?!" However, his most recent sentiments regarding Hurricane Isaac threw people into a bit of a tizzy.
In the 16 days of Olympic competition, the world celebrated tremendous victories and experienced devastating defeats. But more importantly, we saw the sorts of qualities that embody the true spirit of the Olympic games; perseverance, bravery, and dedication...
Generally speaking, the fisherman/fish dynamic is stacked heavily in favor of the guy with the hook. The relationship would seem even more unequal when the angler is dropping a grenade into the water.
The athletes have been training for the last four years. The city has been preparing for the last seven years. And the fans have been booking their tickets for months and months. The 2012 London Summer Olympics are upon us!
When tickets went on sale for San Diego's Comic-Con they sold out in record time. But don't worry -- there are plenty of other fan festivals and geek gatherings where you can fly your freak flag. Here are eight great events that rival Comic Con for their nerdy spirit.
The legend of America’s birth is only 236 years old. However, in that short amount of time, a number of legends that would normally take centuries to grow and multiply in any other civilization have sprung up.
While there are often stories about ridiculously expensive comfort food -- for example the $100 hot dog -- it's hard to tell if anybody actually buys these overpriced dishes.

New Jersey is a very nice place, full of leafy affluent suburbs. Really, it is. But, for whatever reason, people always like to dump on the Garden State. This Jersey hate, which used to manifest itself in "what exit are you from?" jabs and jokes about voluminous hair, has just gotten worse since the abomination that is 'Jersey Shore' began gracing television sets in December of 2009.

Zombies, zombies and more zombies. Everywhere you look these days, you’re bound to run into a bunch of bloody zombies. We’ve got books about zombies ('World War Z,' 'Tooth and Nail'), television shows about zombies ('The Walking Dead') and tons of zombie movies, like the classic ‘The Night of the Living Dead,’ and the more recent ‘28 Days Later.’ Not to mention the real life flesh-munchers like Rudy Eugene and others who are making us all believe that some sort of virus has been released on the masses that will no doubt bring about the zombie apocalypse.
You might not immediately recognize the name Eduard Khil, but if you are frequent visitor to the internet you've certainly seen his work.
