Stupid stuff that comes to mind that we want to post

 
^{(Bill Cypher)} He’s a protagonist’s worst nightmare. A villain who enjoys the danger.

If these guys can just stand each other, the good guys don’t stand a chance.

Ever see that one episode of Night Gallery?

nope.is it like the creepshow episode with all the cockroaches?

@DanielTepesKraus  
It’s this one called “The Caterpillar.”

@Herrpface  
no, haven’t seen it.

I WILL GET THIS OLD BASTARD TO WORK GODDAMMIT!

@DanielTepesKraus  
Hrrm.

i hate the thing a lot of fantasy settings do where there’s some prophecy that declares some dude is the chosen dude fated to defeat the evil dude. it leaves me wanting any of these 8 things to happen:
 

@DanielTepesKraus  
Ever seen Minority Report?

@Herrpface  
i think so.

i hate when someone makes a slideshow gif of a comic instead of just posting the comic.

Y’know, I much prefer Donatello’s “David” to Michaelangelo’s.

David Blaine isn’t the greatest magician alive.
 
Some of his stuff, in likelihood, is fake magic.

@Herrpface
 
Isn’t it all “fake magic”?

@Lucky Shot  
Well, sometimes magic tricks on youtube or video can be “real”, where it could’ve been performed on the spot in front of an actual audience, and “fake”, where it requires at least one other person to be in on the trick for it to look cool, or the camera uses specific editing and angling to keep certain things hidden.
 
Like he once did this trick where he meets up (camera crew behind him) with a homeless person on the street, borrows a cup of coffee he has, then makes everything inside transform into a pile of quarters that he lets him keep. The problem is, he’s using a gimmick that’s impossible to perform with a random cup that anybody could give you, which means it was given to the homeless guy beforehand.

Apparently, alotta Houdini’s stuff was real-er-than-real magic, as in most of his accomplishments were legit as opposed to a clever illusion. He did grow up learning “magic”, but if it looked as if he was doing something practically superhuman, it was probably because he really was.
 
What’s more, the show wasn’t even the end game. When he was a kid his mom got scammed by some mystic or something, so after each show he’d then go out in the streets and expose the manipulative tactics that these guys would use to prey upon the superstitious. In fact, he was friends with the guy who wrote the Sherlock Holmes books, but when that guy’s wife fell sick and he turned to a mystic in hopes he could do something, he got into a disagreement with Houdini because, well, you do the math. So that friendship kinda just ended.
 
Also Houdini was able to utilize his skills for espionage in cooperation with the Scotland Yard or something.

@archestereo  
Sounded like a real badass.
 
Ever heard of a guy named Dai Vernon?

@Herrpface
 
…I’m afraid this would be the first time…

@archestereo  
Harry Houdini used to challenge card magicians to fool him with a trick, claiming he could describe how any card trick was done if he saw it at most three times.
 
In 1922, a magician named Dai Vernon met up with Houdini, and performed a single card trick on him eight times in a row, and Houdini still had no idea how it was done.

@Herrpface
 
Oh, you mean fraud. Gotcha!
 
There’s a guy named Criss Angel who “walked through a metal gate” – except that his team did a really bad job on the fake CGI gate he pretended to go through…

@Lucky Shot  
Yeah, Criss Angel abuses the hell out of fake magic.

when you eat eggs you are not eating chicken fetuses. this is a common misconception. you’re actually eating the chicken’s period.

i’m not a fan of anime at the best of times, but the “big stupid drop of sweat” thing particularly annoys me for some reason.
