Australia is the Batman of continents. It has the best villains – check out the Buxom Bandit robbing a store.

…speaking of Batman, you might want to pack a lunch for The Dark Knight Rises. Check out the run time.

 

This photo gallery from US shopping malls in the summer of 1990 is one of the best ideas/things I’ve seen in a long time. SO many tank tops and permullets. Every old person you see is smoking a cigarette. (scooped by Chad E Young)

 

Speaking of permullets, Eastbound & Down got renewed for a fourth season. The Newsroom & True Blood got renewed, too. (scooped by Tank)

 

53 things that have changed since the iPhone came out. #23 is hilarious. (scooped by Mr. Serious)

 

From everything I’ve heard, Magic Mike is quite a hit among straight men. More female nudity than male. #5 on this list (about what happens 3 minutes into the movie) is a big feather in its cap. (scooped by Battle Armor Joe)

 

A&E wants to get in on the American Horror Story gravy train, and they’ve recruited LOST & Friday Night Lights producers to do it. (scooped by Mr. Serious)

 

“The second most famous Pitt brother“? Our friend Sarlacc might take issue with that. Return of the Jedi was a pretty big movie.

 

Live near a Hardee’s? Dress like Spider-Man tomorrow, get free food. (scooped by Hail Mary)

 

The 30 Best Things Ever to Come From Canada. No Corey Chapman? He’s the best podcast producer to come from Canada, for sure. This list is clearly trying to outdo our 236 Reasons We Love America list (cheap plug!).

 

Judging by these first set photos from The Walking Dead season 3, the cast is taking their defensive stance cues from The Avengers. Good strategy! (scooped by Mr. Serious)

 

Great theories from History.com about the Amelia Earhart disappearance. (scooped by Battle Armor Joe)

 

“On this day in 1985, the blockbuster action-comedy “Back to the Future”–in which John DeLorean’s iconic concept car is memorably transformed into a time-travel device–is released in theaters across America.” (scooped by Battle Armor Joe)

 

Here’s a good financial calculator tool if you’re considering building a new house… out of LEGOs. (scooped by Battle Armor Joe)

Birthday Babe – Olivia Munn

 

..and now, the daily installment to replace the Overly Defensive House Plant of the Day:

Failed Attempts to Capitalize on the Popularity of the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile

The Lean Cuisine Copter (concept visualization)
