No doubt you heard about how Manu Ginobili of the San Antonio Spurs picked a bothersome bat right out of the air during a basketball game last week, but mental_floss seizes upon the occasion to remember similar occurrences with their listicle of 10 Times Animals Have Interrupted Sporting Events. We especially enjoyed this seagull’s contribution [...]

We really love a spectacularly ridiculous hip hop album cover. You know, one that deploys all the common cliches with copious jewelry, fancy cars, naked women, suits, cigars, a lurking posse, toned and oiled muscles, maybe a skyline, the works. It’s hip-hop, it’s all about showing off and having fun doing it. All of those [...]

Embittered as we may seem, we’re suckers for an inventive and unexpected pronouncement of ever-lasting love. Really. (This also means that we hate seeing a marriage proposal backfire spectacularly.) But we love mental_floss’s listicle of 10 Quirky Marriage Proposals so much we might ask it to marry us, and although we’d be a couple days [...]

There was a time, not all that long ago, when we imagined most of our life would be spent living in a beautiful train, airplane or space shuttle that was finished with only the most elegant and extravagant furniture and gadgets, and from which we would run our global resistance movement while evading the evil [...]

We like that new technology is bringing the rest of the world up to European advertising standards, which go with the “If it’s pretty it doesn’t need to make sense” principle. Increasingly, commercials for products big and small, from every corner of the planet, are doing simple concepts with slick visual style, like those in [...]

As the decade comes to a close and we start seeing an explosion of listicles about the last ten years, we here at Listicles labs are predicting an overwhelmingly sad, scary and disappointing summary of the aughts. We imagine that this will be an especially inescapable verdict for all things environmental, as we’ve done a [...]

Well, it’s officially Halloween week, and there doesn’t seem to be much point in being stingy with our Halloween listicles, so we’re giving them out by the handful now. First off, we’re loving Joy Hog’s listicle of Saturday Night Live’s Top 10 Halloween Sketches, and since we’re still working on a costume, we especially appreciated [...]

We claimed we were going to hold off on Halloween-related posts, but with just over a week to go that seems pretty pointless now. Plus, today’s Halloween listicle is really clever and creative, and may have helped us find our costume for this year. Graphic designer Charlene Chua has made a series greeting cards depicting [...]

When it comes to music, few things (aside from great music) win us over more effectively than a beautiful, clever or ambitious music video. Here are music videos for groups and artists we’ve mostly never heard pf before, but because they were able to put together these 10 Marvelous New Music Videos, they’ll forever be [...]

We once thought that the funniest prank anybody could ever pull on an unsuspecting friend was the old box-inside-a-box-inside-a-box birthday gift, were what seems like a huge present turns out to be multiple layers of packaging with nothing at the center (or coal at the center, in the Christmas version). Now, our taste for comedy [...]
