As kids, we attended church very regularly for three years because it was mandatory at our school. Worse still, the church was in the school, so it wasn’t like a field trip or anything, and there also wasn’t a funny sign with nutty messages to lure in unsuspecting saps. Speaking of which, Manofest’s listicle of [...]

For a brief period when Facebook first unveiled its fan pages we maintained both a Listicles fan page, and an Anti-Listicles fan page, just to make sure we appealed to as broad an audience as possible. Those would hardly make us elligible for mental_floss’s listicle of 12 Curious Facebook Fan Pages though, which includes gems [...]

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 [...]

The accompanying image (pictured) shows a blank road sign on a desert road, which got us [...]

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. That said, we really don’t like Seth Rogen and don’t understand why he made their list of the Top [...]

We just spent all night playing around with and printing the various signs, posters, magazine covers, tombstones, LOLCats, seals, stamps, etc. that can be generated using the great web apps covered in Mashable’s listicle of 13 Fantastic and Fun Image Generators. 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 [...]
