Here are the ten funniest cartoon shows ever, listed in order of their debuts. If you disagree, please refrain from smashing me with a mallet or pulverizing me with an anvil. Top 10 Real-Life Inspirations For Famous Cartoon Characters 10 The Bugs Bunny Show (1960) Ain’t he a stinker? Yes – an absolutely hysterical one.

10 Things You Never Knew About Famous Movie Plot Twists 10 The Time Machine This 1895 H. G. Well’s novel effectively launched the time travel subgenre of science fiction. It’s a grim beginning, postulating that humanity’s inevitable class divide would eventually so utterly change people that we would be split into idle Eloi on Earth’s surface and pale, animalistic Morlocks who toil below, surfacing mainly to collect their Eloi herds....

Patients need to realize that doctors are human; that means that even the best and most well-intentioned will occasionally make mistakes. Do not wait until it is too late to do anything about your condition. Make sure when you go to a medical appointment that you are prepared to talk about the issues you are experiencing. Even when you are not experiencing symptoms of a specific disorder, you should still regularly get routine check-ups to monitor for any conditions that you might not necessarily be able to detect yourself....

The first video I decided to make was the Top 10 Incredible Smells That Will Blow Your Mind as it merges a number of things I am particularly interested in (scent, the macabre and bizarre, and science). It is also a list I wrote and it seemed appropriate that I should use my own writing as the starter script. The video diverges from the original list in many ways: new entry, changed order, re-wording....

And do it quickly because New York is not doing so well right now—don’t all move to Austin, Texas, just yet! As this list will show, there are plenty of places to see. 10 The Metropolitan Club New York, alongside the world’s other great cities, has a strong game when it comes to old-timey, elegant, exclusive members’ clubs. But this one seems a touch more opulent than the others. When you look at the founding members—financier JP Morgan, railroad tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt, steel magnate James M Waterbury, former Assistant Secretary of State John L Cadwalader, and James A Roosevelt—it is little wonder how this place became so fancy....

Lost films turn up, usually in a forgotten closet in an old motion picture theater. A good example is the silent movie Wings, which won multiple Academy Awards. Here is a list of the most sought-after lost films. There are dozens of others that could have made the list. This silent movie is, arguably, the most sought after lost film. The interest here is Chaney’s portrayal of a vampire. It’s directed by Todd Browning, who later directed Dracula, with Bela Lugosi....

Nothing is worse than the disappointing, nostalgic feeling you get when watching an old movie and you have to ask yourself, “Why can’t they make movies like this anymore?” Case in point: A Night at the Opera, by the Marx Brothers. At the center of this comedy masterpiece is a lively musical sequence that includes Allan Jones belting out a hearty vocal solo, Chico Marx performing his signature piano routine, and, of course, the ever poignant Harpo on the harp....

10Christmas Spread Along With Christianity The oft-repeated story is that as Christianity spread, it engulfed the ancient pagan ways and holidays, converting but letting people keep their celebrations and their holidays. The winter solstice became a celebration of the birth of Christ. That’s only half true. Christianity existed for hundreds of years before the idea of celebrating Christ’s birth occurred to anyone. Early Christian writers in Rome made their stance on celebrating birthdays quite clear—it was a disgusting, despicable, pagan thing to do....

The ’80s featured some of the best arcade games ever made, many of which continue to pump out sequels decades later.

Two Mexican Federal agents who were involved in the arrests at the Zhenli Ye Gon mansion were found dead in the southern Mexican state of Guerrero, as reported on August 2, 2007....

Taylor seems hardly the junky type, but his unmistakable mellowness does seem to fit the substance. His folky acoustic strumming and tranquil voice are a fantastic accompaniment to any drug-induce coma. And new meaning is given to songs like “Mexico,” where he may have gone to acquire such goods. Cobain apparently took heroin to combat stomach pains. Most people just go with Tums. With Courtney Love to share a tormented rock romance like Sid and Nancy before them, the two fed each other’s addictions and miserable contemplations....

10 Leine CastleGermany In the summer of 2016, construction workers discovered a skeleton hidden in Leine castle. There was no record of a burial, so archaeologists were called to the scene. Experts from Lund University agree that the skeleton is a few centuries old, but its identity is still a mystery. A missing persons case from over 300 years ago could be the missing piece of the puzzle. Count Philip Christoph Konigsmarck disappeared from the castle 322 years ago....

Some Rastafarians maintain that a white racist patriarchy (“Babylon”) controls the world in order to oppress the African race. They believe that Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia did not die when it was reported in 1975, and that the racist, white media (again, “Babylon”) propagated that rumour in order to squash the Rastafari Movement and its message of overthrowing Babylon. Other Rastafarians, however, believe in peace and unity, and interpret Babylon as a metaphor for the established “system” that oppresses (or “downpresses,” in Rasta terminology) groups such as Africans and the world’s poor....

10 Unicorns Are Wooly Rhinos Unicorns are one of the most famous mythical animals; somehow, every two-year-old can name the magical, horned equines. They’ve also been around in various tales for 4,000 years across parts of Europe and Asia. One of the earliest examples of unicorns comes from the Greek historian Ctesias, who wrote of unicorns as animals native to Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Maybe it’s not a coincidence, then, that actual unicorns used to exist—in Eastern Europe and the Middle East....

First Patent Laws There is evidence suggesting that something like patents were used among some ancient Greek cities. The creator of a new recipe was granted an exclusive right to make the food for one year, and a similar practice existed in some Roman cities. Patents in the modern sense originated in Italy in 1474. At that time the Republic of Venice issued a decree by which new and inventive devices, once they had been put into practice, had to be communicated to the Republic in order to obtain the right to prevent others from using them....

Top 10 Modern Horror Novels More Terrifying Than A Stephen King Book 10 Carrie (2013) Since Carrie was King’s first novel and the first to become a movie, there’s no better place to start than the excellent 2013 remake. The story, in essence, is about retribution as Carrie White ultimately uses her telekinetic powers to exact brutal revenge on those who wronged her. There’s so much more going on here though, as the lead character, expertly played by Chloe Grace Moretz, evokes strong feelings of pity despite her homicidal actions at the end....

He was not an actor but received the prestigious prize for color art direction for the movie My Gal Sal....

Showing off your booty Charles Taylor of Wichita, Kansas, was arrested for robbing a shoe store at knifepoint and stealing a $69 pair of size 10 1/2 tan hiking boots on December 18, 1996. At his trial, three months later, Taylor arrogantly rested his feet on the defence table. He was wearing a pair of size 10 1/2 tan hiking boots. The judge, James Fleetwood, was incredulous. ‘I leaned over and stared,’ he later said....

It can get weird. In the battle against the diseases that trouble us the most, whether because they’re so common, so deadly, or both, scientists will try almost anything. Potential cures come from everywhere. And sometimes the human body does the same, miraculously curing itself due to some obscure reason or another. No matter how it happens, a disease cured is a disease cured, and someone lives to tell their strange tale....
