You probably are one of the few but as far as unpopular opinions go, we all have some so I don't really see any problem with it.

Remember how I mentioned some trivia about Brad Bird attempting to do Will Eisner's The Spirit as an animated feature? Here's a trailer from the purposed animated feature.

Ever heard of the Garuda Wasp?
It's a recently discovered Wasp species that we've only ever found dead. We have yet to find one alive, and know nothing about their behaviour or biology beyond speculation.

There was once a time when Twister was seen as more of an "adult" game. In fact, there were some stores that would not sell the game due to it being "too risque," which lead it to be discontinued for sometime. It was not until Johnny Carson played it with Eva Gabor on the Tonight Show that boosted sells for the game and the game was given a better light in people's eyes.

The Hero of Oakvale, along with others from Albion, has seen them alive. Then he killed them. With a stick. For that annoying Guildmaster.

This is one of the first videos to display 3D human models. Its also one of the first music videos to utilize 3D animation, the first video played on MTV of Europe, and was parodied by Weirld Al.
The guys who animated it, Rainmaker Entertainment, are currently working on the Sly Cooper and Ratchet & Clank adaptations.
You can also hear Sting in the intro.

The product was discounted in 2007, but, was still being produced in South Korea. I wish they didn't cancel this cereal. I freaking loved this as a kid.

I wish that Oreo O's was still made in America. I'm sure that people will love to buy those again, plus it would be bring up the post numbers up.

Apparently, when we remember something from our past, we're recalling the last time we remembered that and our brain distorts it slightly
Pretty cool huh, but when I tried to think of something constantly it kind of didn't work, but whatever.

Mark Knoplfer was in an appliances store, where two workers were complaining how easy rock stars had it getting millions by being flashy and slinging a guitar around while they barely made a living by moving TVs and microwaves.
Mark hid back and wrote everything they said. Then he re-arranged it into a song.
I'm not sure I know a better example of irony.

Did you guys ever want to die in the worst way possible?
Well I just found it.
Well, it's debatable. I'd hate to be buried alive, or burned alive, but just imagine this
