Man Uses Allure of ‘The Notebook’ to Get Strangers to Kiss Him
If you want hoardes of ladies to smooch on you, apparently you only need a couple of things. Armed with a clipboard, a hose, a reasonable degree of attractiveness and a willingness to talk about 'The Notebook' in public, this guy got a pretty respectable degree of action.
Inventors Have Created Real Life WALL-E
It took five years, but it was totally worth it. A team of robot builders decided to create a real life WALL-E, scaling the robot to recognizable items in the movie (like VHS tapes and a Rubik's cube).

Shark Week is here! Shark Week is here! We can finally stop living like it's Shark Week, because it's actually Shark Week! We're not the only one's who are excited by the prospect -- these animals also seem pretty geared up. (We're going to pretend the costumes were their idea, and not their owners.)
12 Cross Eyed Kitties to Make Your Day
What's better than a cat? We know, we know -- what a preposterous question, but really, what's better than a cat? A cross-eyed cat! These cats' silly faces should make your day better. All without the horrible itching and wheezing that comes with encountering actual, real cats. Enjoy!
Even Kids Hate ‘The Smurfs 2′
You'd think kids would like 'Smurfs 2.' After all, they liked 'Space Chimps,' and 'Space Chimps' was terrible. But in this 'Funny or Die' video not even the least discriminating children enjoy this awful film. "I usually like everything, but I didn't like this," says one child...
Man Afraid of Heights Rides Virtual Roller Coaster, Hilarity Ensues
We really, really feel for the poor guy in this video. Having once broken a babysitter's fingers on a roller coaster because we are so afraid of heights, we can definitely relate. However, that doesn't mean we aren't laughing at him.
Upbeat Panhandler Pranks Entire Subway Car
"Excuse me ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please?" That is the beginning of every subway commuter's least favorite train experience. (Okay, maybe not *least* favorite -- last week a guy pulled down his pants and rubbed his naked butt on the seat right there in front of everyone. Sidenote: wear pants on the train.) This time there's a twist though: rather than begging, th
Jimmy Fallon, Robin Thicke Team Up for Perfect ‘Blurred Lines’ Cover

What do you mean 12 is an abnormally high number of cemeteries for a town with a population of less than 40,000? That would seem perfectly normal, if you'd grown up in Sunnydale. Here are 14 other signs you call Sunnydale home.
‘Skeletor Affirmations’ Will Get You Through the Day
Having a bad day? We know it sounds weird, but maybe Skeletor from the classic '80s 'He-Man' cartoon can help you. These empowering words to help you get through tough times come from the Tumblr Heal Yourself, Skeletor.
Devious Ferret Is Quite Adept at Pickpocketing
Coming in at number four on our list of "Reasons We Don't Want a Ferret,*" is "they will steal the wallet right out of your pocket." This video justifies that particular item's high placement on the list. A person who gets their wallet stolen feels like a fool. A person who chases a ferret to get their wallet back has pretty much lost all dignity.
Ron Weasley Got Drunk And Wished Harry Potter a Happy Birthday
Yesterday was Harry Potter's birthday. (We are *so* embarrassed that we forgot.) To celebrate, 'This is the End' star Simon Pegg got dressed up as Ron Weasley and showed up on Jimmy Fallon's show to wish him a happy birthday.
There’s a Creepy Cat Version of ‘Get Lucky’ You Need to See
We love this? It's hard to say, because we don't know yet whether or not this black cat version of Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" is going to give us nightmares or not. Right now we *think* we love it, but we'll know for sure after we sleep on it...
Adorably Furious Little Girl Quickly Becomes Meme
Just one look at this photo and you can tell it's got meme potential. It was shared on Reddit with the title "We tried taking a nice family picture now that my daughter is one. She looks like she's gonna slit someone's throat." Needless to say, things quickly got out of control in the best possible way.
