11 obscure kung fu movies you need to watch For every big-budget martial arts spectacular, there were dozens of cheaper films. But these are just as good as the hits.
Any kung fu appreciator is familiar with its big names – Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Stephen Chow, et cetera. They’re sort of like the Stallone and Schwarzenegger of Hong Kong action cinema. But for every big-budget martial arts spectacular, there are dozens of cheaper films that also hit the market. But these movies aren’t disposable, and in fact, many of them are just as good as the hits. Delving into martial arts cinema as a newbie can be pretty difficult. Entry points are few and far between, and once you’ve worked through the all-time classics, it’s easy to get lost in B material. That’s why we put together this list…

8 insane Tumblr moments that went down in history Tumblr was a hotbed of weirdos and insanity. Let's look at the stuff that made even its own userbase go WTF.
It was always hard to define exactly what Tumblr was. You could write blogs on there, but it wasn’t really good for blogging. You could link up with other people like a social network, but it wasn’t really that either. It was — and is, I guess, although the latest news about the platform banning adult content seems like a nail in the coffin — something truly unique. Tumblr was founded by David Karp in 2007 as a method for people to post “tumblelogs” — essentially short-form blogs — featuring links, short paragraphs and a stream of consciousness style. It rapidly grew a wild and fractious user base, split into…

10 of the most useless superpowers ever created Canonical, and downright silly.
Love them because they’re fantastical, or hate them because they’re often corny and don’t help push the narrative along a logical path, superpowers are more popular than ever. No longer sitting in the back row to other forms of hero stories, superhero movies are at the forefront of Hollywood. There are multiple superhero-based MMOs, and television has been dipping into the super-powered formula for quite a while now. What we don’t normally see, though, are superpowers that are downright silly. We rarely have (worthwhile) super-powered comedies, so it’s a little tough to see ridiculous powers that are canonical to a story. They exist — don’t you worry — and we’ve…

5 options to consider when looking for off-campus housing A big decision that can affect your academic performance as well as your social and life development in all kinds of ways.
How do you choose the right housing for your particular needs as a student? It’s a decision that can affect your academic performance and it’s also going to impact your social and life development in all kinds of ways. Each student has their own needs and circumstances. For some, the final rental price is important and they are mainly interested in the financial side of housing. For example, it’s common for universities to offer off-campus accommodation they have procured through deals with real estate agencies, but these options are often above the financial capabilities of the average student. Others are more lucky and are mainly interested in where they will…

7 most stubborn people in history You think your kids are stubborn? You have no idea how bad it gets.
Man crosses Atlantic in raft with no water In 1952, Alain Bombard grew concerned with how many lives were being lost at sea. As a well-regarded scientist, it was within his means to start developing safer nautical emergency equipment. But Bombard was ridiculously stubborn, and had already convinced himself that people were dying in life rafts simply because they weren’t good enough at managing their resources. To prove his theory that safety required better people and not better safety equipment, Bombard prepared to set sail on a little raft across the Atlantic ocean. He didn’t bring any fresh water, and only a sextant to guide him. Neither a newborn baby,…
