As more and more media outlets are exchanging news and information at an ever faster pace across increasingly huge distances, it’s bringing all kinds of random local news bits out into the flow of international. This phenomenon, we think, is how the Internet got a hold of the otherwise remote stories that make up Newsweek’s [...]

If you read Listicles at all regularly, you”ll know that we often fall into nerdy patterns whereby we indulge some of our lowest-common-denominator cultural texts all too regularly, like, say, zombies and Star Wars. Most people reading us have seen both in some form or another, virtually everyone knows they exist, but how often have [...]

We don’t “heart” the “I Heart NY” shirt because, well, it’s just too popular. Wearing that shirt is like saying you love something that we all love, like air, it’s pointless. Still, whoever came up with the “I Heart ____” tee shirt template must be rolling in dough these days. Or maybe he or she [...]

Today is National Pink Day, which might seem like a huge waste of a national holiday to you (and no, it has nothing to do with breast cancer), but let’s face it: we all need at least one day to get all the pent-up pinkaliciousness out of our systems. That said, even on pink day [...]

In an angered homage to the flashy footwear that flaunts its ankle-twisting, knee-destroying, toe pinching properties, here are Listicles’ 14 Insanely Dangerous High-Heeled Shoes.

As our nutty Christian friends would have it, today is Good Friday (aren’t they always good, though?), which means this weekend is Easter. For some this will involve lots of talk about a Jewish carpenter named Jesus being crucified – ironically enough - on a fairly standard piece of carpentry (the classic T-model). For us, [...]
