Beloved Metropolis resident (and Kryptonian by birth) Superman (aka Clark Kent) turns 71 today, though he hasn’t aged a bit. In fact, befitting his “superness,” he actually looks younger now than he did then. The heroic character created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster first appeared in print on June 30, 1938, and since then [...]

Christmas is in exactly 6 months (which, incidentally, means that last Christmas was 6 months ago), and we hope Santa is taking advantage of these warm summer months to get in some sun. Looking back over his vacation albums (which, mysteriously, we have full access to), we’ve rounded up pictures of 15 Summering Santas.

Today is National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day, and we’re contemplating the various creative forms in which we might consume our daily dose of peanut butter and jelly.

This week, [...]

As we helped you do over Thanksgiving, we here at Listicles are all about avoiding the awkwardness of prolonged family interfaces through the magic of film. And with most of the obvious holiday movie picks already way backed-up on Netflix queues and missing from video stores everywhere, the movie trivia masters at AMC’s blog Horror [...]

As we fine-tune our holiday Netflix cues and scour local movie rental offerings for their most yuletide films, why not take the advice of a guy wearing a funny hat? No, we’re not talking about Steven Spielberg.
The late Pope John Paul II, pressed by nobody in particular save the slowly-approaching hand of death, imparted the [...]

A staple of the holidays that nobody really understands (not even Wikipedia) but still tries to excel at, there’s something typically American about absurd gingerbread house design. Not only does it involve turning something joyful, silly and festive into a competition, it also means creating ever larger and sweeter fake homes out of candy, cookies [...]

Prepare to waste the rest of your time at the office, your day off, your early holiday, whatever you’re doing basically is about to be superseded by a black hole of fun, web-based indulgence. The dudes at FHM have compiled a fairly exhaustive list of web-based curiosities, resources and time-wasters, entitled The 100 Greatest Websites [...]
