If you live in an area where winter means having to deal with snow, and it takes up a not insignificant part of your daily schedule, February is usually when you start wishing for March. Or April. Or really, whenever the hell this crap will stop already. I happen to be in a part of…
While it’s important to know how to properly prepare food, sometimes you just want to use a light bulb or a car engine to cook your meal. Sure, you have a stove and a microwave and a grill, but nothing says good eats like biting into your culinary masterpiece knowing it was cooked with creativity.…
We all love weird news stories, and it’s probably because when we hear them, our own lives seem just a little bit less wacky. Sure, maybe you did find a snake in your toilet, but at least you didn’t get stuck in a restaurant’s grease vent for two days. Unfortunately, we rarely get to watch…
It’s not a surprise that artists tend to think outside the box. In fact, you may be looking at that pile of empty pizza boxes sitting next to your trash can right now and thinking, “Man, I could totally sculpt something out of that.” And for like-minded individuals, the results can be pretty incredible, at…
I’m pretty sure that Agent Smith from The Matrix had it right when he described human beings as a virus. We pretty much do exactly what he describes: We find a home, replicate, consume all of the resources and then move on. It’s not exactly far from the truth, except in those instances where we…
We’ve all seen those clickbait headlines about people who were arrested for ridiculous reasons. Most of the time, however, there’s more to the story than what a catchy Facebook post or meme alludes to. No, a student wasn’t arrested for simply farting in class — he was turning off other students’ computers and being disruptive…
We all expect that people will sometimes get hurt during the course of film production. If you shoot a fight sequence or car chase or literally any scene with Gary Busey, you’re eventually getting hurt. But sometimes, randomness and unpredictability get thrown into the equation, and that’s when you end up with weirdass situations like…
Scammers are everywhere, if your dedicated Spam folder hadn’t tipped you off to that already. And to be fair, some of them have really honed their craft, successfully pulling off incredible feats of thievery. Others, however, leave you wondering whether or not they consulted with their nephew’s third grade class on how to make a…
Art is a complex and subjective thing, and we all have different takes on music and paintings and clown dog sculptures (I’m against them). Sometimes, however, artists aren’t always thinking of the real world implications of their projects, especially with things like humans and physics getting involved. And on rare occasions, those things meet in…
Determination is one of the key traits in any Modern Rogue. However, it’s occasionally a trait also shared by people who like to be asses and take things that aren’t theirs. Fortunately, determination alone isn’t enough to be a successful criminal, as it doesn’t always make up for overwhelming incompetence. Luckily for us, technology has…
Most religious practices look kind of ridiculous out of context. We can make fun of “wacky” foreign religions all we want, but unlike Christianity, almost none of them feature a holy foreskin. Still, we did say we can make fun of them all we want, so let’s go ahead and do that now. Full article at…
We’re all familiar with the stereotypical image of court jesters, what with their multi-pointed hats and juggling routines and generally making an ass of themselves to the delight of far more important people. Their beloved likeness has even found a home on the face of our playing cards, albeit the two that are only used…
So an oppressive regime of robots or buttholes or whatever has basically enslaved humanity in some way. Hope is all but lost, because the stranglehold the evil-doers has is beyond the average individual’s ability to overcome. What might one do, save for putting your trust in the hands of a martial-arting, gun-slinging rogue? But here,…
The end of days … we all know it’s coming. Humanity itself will collapse, people will turn on each other, and we’ll be forced to succumb to our most primal human instincts. But still, we’ve grown a little reliant on our modern conveniences, which is why when the feces hits the whirring blade apparatus of…
Olivia Mainville was not brought up in a musical family, per se. Her parents love music and listen to it constantly — her father even collects instruments. But as far as playing any of those instruments goes, that’s another story entirely. “My dad wanted to play music,” Mainville said. “He says he was in a…
