Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi is one of the undisputed gods of heavy metal, and during his nearly fifty years in the biz he has experienced many intense and crazy moments on the road.
But nothing can compare to that one time he literally lost the tips of two of his fingers to heavy metal.
This animated recount of Tony Iommi’s tragic accident is part of VH1's The History Of Heavy Metal, and reveals how Tony "made a good thing out of a bad thing" like a real heavy metal hero!

Hollywood movie promotions like to sell their movies as being “like nothing you’ve seen before” or “a fresh new take on blah blah blah”, but the more they make these claims the less original the film.
Many motion picture companies are tapped out of ideas, and they’re always looking around for new ideas to imitate or just plain rip off.
That’s why mainstream movies seem so familiar, because you’ve probably seen a movie just like it before, but sometimes the similarities are as hard to ignore as a talking pig wearing a tie and a pair of shades.
Two talking pig movies released within a few months of each other? When pigs fly or, more precisely, back in 1995.

Travelers visiting the Mos Eisley spaceport during this time of war are advised to steer clear of the Hutt controlled establishment called the Jabba Bing! Club. The Club is known to play host to some of the worst scumbags in the galaxy. Those who ignore this advisement and patronize the Jabba Bing! may be subject to Sith scrutiny, which could result in a force choking if found guilty. Visitors are also advised to avoid making eye contact with the star slave dancer Leia, because she's not very happy about being chained to a Hutt...

In between adventures Link discovered another hidden talent- keeping the town's cuccos in line. Some townsfolk started calling him the cucco whisperer, but he didn't use magic or might to keep those cluckers in line, he used a piece of Zelda's famous seed cake. The cuccos can't get enough of that sweet cake treat, so Link became a legend among the local poultry farmers by accident. Now he has to play the role of alpha clucker whenever he's in town, but at least he's earning mad rupees!

Personally, I prefer Batman over Superman, but this great Always Sunny In Philadelphia/Batman Vs. Superman mashup makes a great case for why Superman is better. After all, he is a master of karate and friendship for everyone.
Honestly, I think this looks like a more entertaining movie than the actual Batman Vs. Superman film, though I still don't want to see anyone pay a troll toll to get into a boy's hole.

Not too long ago in the US, it was normal for fathers to wait outside the delivery room for the birth of their children. The mother, along with a doctor and nurses, would handle the delivery alone. Later, the father was allowed to be present.
The Daily Telegraph reports that increasingly, more people are present in the delivery room: family, friends, and anyone accessible through WiFi. When it comes to childbirth, there’s no such thing as “too much information”:
For women in their teens and twenties, an average of eight people are now present at some point during the birth, according to a survey by video blogging site Channel Mum.
And the results also showed that childbirth is becoming increasingly public, with almost a quarter of mums sharing the experience through social media.
Siobhan Freegard, founder of Channel Mum said: "The younger generation share are used to sharing every aspect of their lives, so why not birth? Many women feel it is their biggest achievement and so want to share the moment with all of those closest to them.
We did not crowd-birth for our kids. But our first child was born in a teaching hospital. There was a seemingly non-stop parade of medical students and interns interested in seeing more than we wanted them to see. I eventually shooed them out.
YouTube user Albizu Garcia visited a beach in Puerto Rico and found that a hermit crab had discarded a conventional shell for a stylish and functional LEGO brick. This should give him the ability to join with other LEGO crabs to create a larger structure. You can see the video here. Make sure that you don’t step on this crab, which is now a double threat to your feet.

People and organizations often adopt stretches of road, promising to keep them clean and free of litter. This is a great way to contribute to the well-being of local communities and possibly get some good publicity from it.
So it’s no surprise that Lord Vader, who always wants to maintain the good reputation of our loyal Imperial forces, has pitched in to help. He’s adopted a section of US Highway 460 in Blacksburg, Virginia.
Occasionally standing in for him will be Henry Wakley, a local resident and loyal supporter of the Emperor. He wears a copy of Lord Vader’s helmet while picking up trash. News 10 reports:
Wakley had to pass several standard guidelines, including two highway clean ups, before VDOT would agree to the sign. He convinced the agency the sign was not a joke, and he intended to take care of the highway and draw attention to the adopt a highway program.
“We’d love to have more people follow Mr. Vader’s example and help us keep the highways clean,” Clarke professed.
Drivers could soon see more than just a sign. Wakley plans to clean up his portion of the highway in his Darth Vader costume later this month.
Wakley is an example to us all to stand together so that we may crush the rebellion and restore order in the galaxy.

Jurassic Play Park by Dooomcat
The Jurassic Park project didn't go quite as Doctor Hammond had planned, but in the end that was okay because the original plan was sure to have ended in disaster. The park became less about bringing in tourist money and entertaining people and more about keeping the dinosaurs happy and thoroughly engaged with a giant sandbox and a new set of playground equipment. Soon the raptors were riding the see-saws, the triceratops was digging for treasure, and the brachiosaurus was sliding the day away. An exciting scene it was not, but at least no humans were harmed in the park!
Add a super silly twist to your geeky wardrobe with this Jurassic Play Park t-shirt by Dooomcat, it's an alternate take on everybody's favorite dino flicks and will surely spread smiles wherever you go!

Couples with a healthy sex life have to learn to live next door to people who are mad because they ain’t getting’ any, and being a part of a community means keeping your lustful noises to yourself.
And yet some people insist on airing their pleasure at the top of their lungs, which tends to annoy everyone around them and gives them a bad rep in the neighborhood.
So how do you go about telling your neighbors to stifle their screams during sexy time? A well worded note is a good place to start, which will help you avoid having that awkward face-to-face chat about the coitus cacophony.
And if that doesn't work you can always change your network name to something snarky, although you should expect your loud neighbors to respond in kind.

Donald Trump is like a pop culture parasite, and it’s going to take a lot more than show cancellation, bad reviews and an entire internet full of haters to get rid of him.
However, if you take Trump out of the equation we'll have to go looking for someone else to make fun of, so it’s probably best he and his hair stick around for a little while longer.
But if we ever need to find a replacement for Trump, someone with the same dead stare and silly hairstyle, we could do a lot worse than this apathetic tabby:
Bored Panda called for submissions to their open list of 15+ Things That Look Like Donald Trump, and boy are there ever some spot on winners on the list! For example here's a piece of sushi that looks just like the Don, isn't the resemblance remarkable?
Taylor Swift has been the subject of media scrutiny since she became a star, and the paparazzi are always after her to see who she’s wearing and what she’s doing.
Doug the pug deals with similar paparazzi problems because he’s an internet superstar, but he doesn’t care what the TMZ crowd has to say about him because he’s a dog.
So what will all the paparazzi and those fans of fame think when Doug the pug channels Taylor Swift for a powerfully cute photo shoot?
Eh, they'll probably be too busy shooting pictures of Kim K's posterior to take notice, but that just leaves more Doug the pug for us!

Unless you’re 80s rock god Corey Hart you shouldn’t be wearing your sunglasses at night because SUN is the first part of that word!
Of course, people wear sunglasses for other reasons besides blocking out the sun, but how can you see where you’re going when you’re sporting shades inside a dark night club?
These rebellious sunglass rulebreakers inevitably trip and fall like a fool, or they’re forced to take off the shades, but they could have avoided all the embarrassment by simply following the Always/Sometimes/Never Sunglass Matrix, presented by the Art Of Manliness.

Many bears dream of a day when they’re able to shove a human being inside something roly-poly, like a barrel or a tire, so they can roll that screaming human around the woods and show it off to their ursine friends.
Sadly, most bears will never get to experience the joy of rolling a human, but the bear in this clip is luckier than most, and he’s definitely luckier than the poor person in the cube.
This video was supposedly shot as a promo for the Japanese show Sekai No Hate Made ItteQ!, but beyond its use as a promo video it should also serve as a reminder to humans- don’t believe bears when they tell you there’s candy at the bottom of the cube!
