Friday Fun Link – Which Fan Theories Blew Your Mind With Their Logic?

Fan theories are alternate ideas/interpretations for movies, music, books, etc. One of the top-rated AskReddit threads of all time asked for people’s favourites.  That got responses including this one which blew my mind.  (Warning: these fan theories often will change your perspective on beloved pop culture items in a way that you’ll never be able [...]

2012 “End-of-Year Questions” Meme

1. What did you do this year that you’d never done before? Saw a photo of the brain of someone I know! Shea’s nephew has had a variety of health issues for the past five years including numerous seizures.

Friday Fun Link – 5-Star Wrestling Matches

I’m tempting to use the “Xmas” tag on this one. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer newsletter is like the Roger Ebert of reviewing wrestling matches.  This Reddit thread contains links to almost all of the matches Meltzer has given the highly coveted and very rare 5 Star rating.  Quite a trip down memory lane [...]
