15 Real Life Mad Scientists

15. Johann Conrad Dippel – Frankenstein in Name

This guy is the original, very real Dr. Frankenstein. Though his name was Johann Dippel, he was born at the Castle Frankenstein near Darmstadt, Germany. And, while obtaining a master’s degree in theology (while studying philosophy and alchemy as well) he was referred to with the addendum Frankensteinensis. Because this was around 1700, medicine was more alchemy than science. The guys that were trying to turn lead into gold? Dippel was one of them. In fact, he claimed to have created the elixir of life which he called Dippel’s Oil – bones, blood, and other bodily fluids distilled from animals. It did not work, because he is not still alive. In fact, the oil was so bad that it was used during WW2 to poison wells (seriously). You can probably guess where his interest in artificial life and his prophetic birthplace are taking this guy.

Area 51

Let’s start with a famously inaccessible place, a place that’s been steeped in mystery and fabulous conspiracy theories for well over half a century. Area 51 is a military facility set deep in the Nevada desert, where missiles, weapons, aircraft and other instruments of war have been developed. Due to the intense level of security and secrecy of this installation, Area 51 has become a hotbed of intrigue for conspiracy theorists. From malicious experiments on aliens to government cover-ups of the appropriation and testing of tech extracted from extraterrestrials stranded here on Earth, Area 51 is supposedly where it’s all going down … and it’s gotten a lot more fun in the era of Photoshop. Regardless of whether you are a believer or not, YOU CANNOT GO THERE, even to peek inside the fence. Approximately a million signs are posted saying so.

5 Useless Martial Arts That Will Get You Killed In Real Life

March 17, 2021 Leave a Comment

By Zachary Gaskell

Martial arts exist in virtually every culture on the the planet. The history of martial arts began with a distinct focus on the former rather than the latter. Sheer battlefield effectiveness quickly relegated most unarmed art forms as a means of training. Or in many cultures, a sporting, traditional or spiritual component. Understand that this piece is not intended as attack on those who practice these arts, for the most part. For many the traditions and physical benefits of the arts make them worth practicing. For one reason or another these martial arts are really impractical in a modern sport or self defense situation

The 10 Sorriest Excuses for Sports

March 11, 2021 Leave a Comment

Nothing captivates a man’s attention quite like people throwing their bodies around in sweat-inducing fashion to win something. Doesn’t matter if we’re sitting across from the hottest girl in the bar—if there’s Division III women’s water polo playing on a screen behind her, we’ll have trouble maintaining eye contact. But not every endeavor calling itself a sport is worthy of that label—and the media exposure, fan admiration, and potential glory that come with it. Telltale signs? The activity’s top competitors are nutjobs, pantywaists, or schlubs. It’s a hyped-up version of something kids play in the backyard. And there’s no way to participate in it without looking absolutely ridiculous. That’s why the following 10 “sports” need to be taken behind the woodshed and beaten to a pulp by some real, actual jocks.

5 Biggest Gambling Losers Of All Time

November 3, 2020 Leave a Comment

Archie Karas ($40 Million)

Archie ‘The Greek’ Karas will go down in history as one of the most famous gamblers and poker players ever. He holds the title for the longest documented winning streak in gambling history. From 1992 to 1995 and starting with only $50 to his name, he managed to turn that paltry sum into a fortune of 40 million. But this wasn’t enough and rather then quit while he was ahead, he wanted more.

The Greek lost nearly his entire $40 million bankroll within a couple of months. The losing streak started with a 3-week period in which Archie lost $30 million at the Binions Horseshoe casino. First, he lost $11 million at the dice table. Frustrated and disappointed of his mistake that he did not stop after the first $3-4 million, Archie returned to the casino on the next day, this time to play high-stakes baccarat. Again, he convinced the casino management to raise the limits just for him to $300,000 per bet. Within ten days, the Greek lost 17,000,000 in baccarat.

12 Most WTF TV Series Finales

September 22, 2020 2 Comments

Dinosaurs

In the series finale, all hope of an episode of reminiscing about the humor that made the series a hit was stripped away – as viewers got to watch Earl Sinclair bring about the end of the Dinosaurs by poisoning the world’s plant life and subsequently blocking out the sun. The result of which was global temperatures dropping well below freezing and the imminent extinction of every living thing on the planet.

While every adult watching knew what was happening, their children may have been somewhat oblivious. Luckily, the writers made time in the finale’s last moments to bring everyone in the know as Earl has to explain to Baby Sinclair how there’s no place for them to go and that he’s sorry for killing them all.

This episode was so WTF that TV Guide had to include a special warning that the subject matter in this episode might “frighten or disturb younger viewers.” You know, because children aren’t really used to watching their favorite characters – who were marketed to kids in the form of music videos and stuffed animals – dying a slow death.

The 10 Greatest Wrestling Matches Of All Time

November 11, 2019 5 Comments

10. Rey Misterio Jr. vs. Eddy Guerrero, Halloween Havoc 97

Rey Mysterio had defeated Eddie Guerrero on two separate occasions prior to this. Guerrero’s frustration had caused him to try to rip of Rey’s mask, which led to this legendary title vs mask bout at Halloween Havoc. This match is borderline perfect, I mean really the moves are almost pulled off flawlessly. These are not just hip tosses and head locks too, I mean crazy corkscrew spins, backflips and hurricarana’s out the ass. One can really see that these two were on point when Rey Mysterio hits the fanciest DDT of all time. This is no spot fest though, it is paced very well and Guerrero orchestrates like the virtuoso that he is. Guerrero stretches and beats down Rey Mysterio through out the match. Rey keeps trying to hit Guerrero with big high flying moves, but the champ is just too sly for that. It’s interesting to see when Guerrero finally starts losing his concentration, it is subtle and not over acted like you would see in many other matches. Anyone who loves Jr Heavyweight action needs to see this one.
