There’s something very appealing about the idea of having a funny tombstone, rather than one that is solemn and muted. After all, if there’s anywhere that needs a little humor to lighten the mood it’s the cemetery. Manofest has done some impressive digging to find The 25 Funniest Tombstones, out favorite of which marks the [...]

Though many seemed to think that the Internet would serve solely as a vessel for pornography and scams, those skeptics clearly underestimated the power of cats. Yes, our feline friends have become such web celebs (”welebs”?) that they’ve begun to take on certain human characteristics. For proof, we recommend checking out Kitty Stampede’s listicle of [...]

Don’t let the relatively small regional audiences and occasionally mundane stories get you fooled, local news is a high-pressure media arena, and in many ways the lack of major funding forces reporters to go beyond their normal comfort zones more often. Two recent listicles explored the various failures of these overworked and underpaid professionals, mental_floss [...]

A very interesting article in yesterday’s New York Times explains that our brains are often at their most active, creative and effective when trying to process bad instructions, misinformation, or trying to find patterns when no signs are present.

Obviously, trying to whittle the field of outstanding Jewish comedians down to a choice twenty will invariably yield some problems, exaggerations and blind spots, and we’re mostly happy with how mental_floss handled the not inconsiderable task.

If we had to pick a favorite (we’d rather not) it would have to [...]

Let’s face it, at some point we all wanted to be ninjas (in some cases ninja turtles, ninja surfers, or even three ninjas). And we’ve probably all had some embarrassing moments of aspiring ninja combat gone horribly wrong. For instance, we remember jumping just a little too high in a room with dangerously low ceiling [...]

Did you know that in Australia “fanny” means “vagina”? It’s true, and it means that whenever an American discusses their fanny or fanny pack within earshot of an Australian, the latter can’t help but laugh. Following that logic, we imagine our Australian readers will get a huge kick out of BuzzFeed’s listicle of 42 Awkward [...]

There’s something remarkably satisfying about watching an animal beat up, humiliate or embarrass a human being, and really, we wish we could turn Tabloid Prodigy’s listicle of the 10 Funniest Videos of Animals Owning People into one long vidsticle that would stream continuously in our office. Since we have to pick one, though, it’ll have [...]

We realize that videos of cats and dogs are a pretty clear harbinger of the end of Western culture at the very least and possibly the end of civilization as we know it, but Best Week Ever’s listicle of 10 Videos of Cats in Small Shirts is just so cute. No, we mean, it’s really [...]
