40 Years Ago, This Forgotten Marvel Cartoon Was Canceled After the Challenger Disaster (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 1985, CBS shelled out $3 million to produce 13 episodes of a new animated series entitled The Young Astronauts, in collaboration with Marvel Comics. The show was meant to promote the Young Astronaut Council, a program for children established by Ronald Reagan the previous year. Known actors hired for the project included Nancy Cartwright (the voice of Bart Simpson) and James Avery (Uncle Phil from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air). The show reportedly revolved around a family called the Hamptons,
Did Fabio Really Get Hit in the Face With a Goose While Riding a Roller Coaster? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Supermodel Fabio Lanzoni, as some of you may remember, is a pioneer in going viral. On March 30, 1999, Lanzoni attended a promotional event at Busch Gardens Williamsburg in Virginia, where he was among the first to ride the new Apollo’s Chariot roller coaster. At some point in the process, an incident involving a goose appears to have been greatly exaggerated. Shortly thereafter, photos began to circulate of Lanzoni with blood on his face, and a number of sources were soon reporting that the bir
‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ Once Had an Official BDSM Teddy Bear. Here’s What It Looked Like. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The success of the Fifty Shades of Grey series has, of course, spawned a ton of merchandise over the years. And, as fate would have it, if you click around enough on author E.L. James’s official website, you’ll find more than just books and DVDs for sale. Maybe you’re in the market for sexy lingerie inspired by what’s worn in the movies? Well, lucky you: there’s plenty of that to choose from. Or maybe nipple clamps with a Fifty Shades Darker logo on them are more your speed? Yeah, that’s an opti
How ‘Harry Potter’ Accidentally Helped Create a Real-Life Owl Crisis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Evidently, the Harry Potter movies were far more influential than many of us in the U.S. realized. As it turns out, fans in the UK were so enamored with Harry’s pet owl, Hedwig, that they decided to get owls of their own—because how could that possibly go wrong? By the time the final film in the series was released in 2011, however, the craze appeared to die down, as did part of the country’s owl population. You see, around then, many people got sick of their little feathered friends and started
The Eerie ‘Family Guy’ Coincidence That Happened the Night Robin Williams Died (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On May 20, 2012, Family Guy aired an unusual episode titled “Family Guy Viewer Mail #2,” broken into three short segments. One segment, “Fatman & Robin,” revolved around Peter gaining the ability to turn everything he touches into Robin Williams. Eventually, Peter gets overwhelmed with all the Robin Williamses he’s created and unsuccessfully attempts to commit suicide several times. For example, at one point, he puts a gun to his head, but before he’s able to pull the trigger, it morphs into a m
