As a member of the first generation to really embrace both tattoos, I’ve seen a lot of weird body art.  However, my generation is also the first generation to really embrace video games, so it’s only natural that the two should meet eventually.  Take, for example, these excellent tattoos of Mario and Luigi from Nintendo’s Super Mario franchise gracing the bottoms of someone’s feet.

Weirdest Super Mario Brothers tattoo ever?  I think they just might be.  However, that’s nothing compared to the weirdness of this bizarre-looking Super Mario-themed advertisement I found this morning for Shaktronics.  Looks to me like Luigi’s been hitting the Italian buffet a little too often!

The first video game tattoo I ever saw in real life was on a friend of mine named Yoshi, who I met in college.  Of course he had Yoshi tattooed on his calf.  I have another friend who has a full arm sleeve of horror movie characters, but that’s not as unusual as movie characters are very popular inspirations for body art.  It’s crazy what people will put on their body!

Given the abysmal state of most school text books these days when it comes to spelling errors, typos, and general inaccuracies, it’s no wonder when people don’t take the time to proofread things very closely before they make them.  For example, in Charlotte, North Carolina, there’s a road called Independence Boulevard.  However, when the North [...]

How do you pass the time when you’re stuck in a hole miles underground, in cramped conditions, with nothing but bottled water, field rations, and chemical toilets for comfort?  Why, you take a cue from every other shut-in and play video games!  Those unfortunate Chilean miners trapped in the rescue shelter for the next few [...]

There’s an old rhetorical question concerning how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.  Well, I can’t answer that, but I can tell you how many of the Old World’s tiniest frogs can sit on the end of a pencil.  If we’re talking about the Microhyla nepenthicola, a super-tiny frog that lives [...]

For a guy who has only been on the air for a few years, Tomasz Schafernaker has a habit of getting himself in trouble on a pretty regular basis.  The Polish-born weatherman for BBC News joined the national outfit in 2006 and has already found himself in hot water previously.  In 2006, he had to [...]

There’s a surprising amount of dancing in the animal kingdom.  From boogie bears to samba-dancing babies, everything and everyone enjoys dancing, even if they’re not good at it.  However, this red squirrel caught doing his best disco moves just might be the John Travolta of the animal kingdom.
The hilariously wonderful image of a squirrel re-enacting [...]

When you’re making an incredibly unhealthy sandwich, you have two options.  One, you can skip the bread and make yourself a snack with two slices of meat with toppings between them.  Or, you can go the other route and take bread and wrap it around more bread.  No matter what you do, throw in as [...]

It’s hard to think that people could get mad over this sort of thing, but commuter trains in Germany were delayed for nearly two hours by, of all things, a family of ducks.  The ducks had settled down near the train tracks at Kiel Central Station in Germany and, rather than turn the ducks into [...]
