Bob Marley’s weird legacy Followers of his religion are "physical immortalists" and their bible is a rambling psychedelic dog's breakfast titled the "Royal Parchment Scroll of Black Supremacy."
A while back, the Petraeus scandal – the replacement of Jersey Shore with Buckwild, both got me thinking about Bob Marley. Is popular culture becoming more accepting of people’s personal foibles, or less so? Marley inspires generation after generation with music promoting freedom and love. His abilities in melody, singing, rhythm, and songwriting were strong. His political message was unusually consistent, too. Watch this video on YouTube But his personal life, numerous children born days apart to different women (er, obviously), including Rita, his wife of ten years, and the way he acted like a bit of a religious cult leader, makes one wonder how the culture at large should interpret the man.…

The worst story I’ve ever come across and that definitely really happened the most Cat fight evolved.
“Femanon here. My best friend in high school (and for years before) was prettier than I was. Her boyfriend in freshman year was a guy I liked, but he didn’t like me that way. She was pretty conservative and didn’t put out, but I managed to convince him that what wanted to be raped, that it was her secret fantasy. He did it. Afterwards she cried on my shoulder and I convinced her not to go to the cops cause I was scared it’d come out that I told him to. She broke up with him and I told the guy she liked it but that if he wanted it…

Five horror movies that were a nightmare for the actors Watching horror movies can cause nightmares. Sometimes, working on a horror movie set can do the exact same thing.
Sometimes terrifying the audience requires terrifying the actors. Directing a horror film by torturing the talent takes a special kind of sadistic bastard. Unfortunately for the people on this list, Hollywood is full of those. Here are five horror films we never would have survived being a part of (and sometimes, people didn’t): The Exorcist (1973) Watch this video on YouTube A Real Life Nightmare For: Linda Blair.

6 baffling phenomena that have surprisingly simple medical explanations "Supernatural" mysteries can pass down generations after they’ve actually been solved, as is the case with the following six “unsolvable” mysteries.
Baffling phenomena create gossip. Solving baffling phenomena, for some odd reason, tends to create less gossip. Which is why “supernatural” mysteries can be passed down generations after they’ve actually been solved, as is the case with the following six “unsolvable” mysteries: 1. Alien Abduction What’s this? Oval-headed, bug-eyed, gray visitors from another planet. They immobilize a research target in bed, enter their room and kidnap them. Then they flash bright lights at the subject and fool around with the subject’s butt because Earthling anuses are simply hilarious. A freaky amount of people have reported this experience.

Deadliest Place on Earth: Disneyland rides with blood on their tracks “The Happiest Place on Earth” is littered with the ghosts of fallen visitors.
While often referred to as “The Happiest Place on Earth”, Disneyland isn’t always so cheery. Since its opening in July of 1955, Disneyland has been the site of 14 deaths, and countless near death experiences. Of the 14 lives lost, 13 came as a direct (or indirect) result of a ride or attraction. The remaining death was the outcome of a stabbing during a fight between guests. The death toll is spread across 10 different rides or attractions, with fatalities reported as far back as 1964. Here’s a list of the attractions involved, and the lives they’ve claimed. Matterhorn: Mountain of No Return In May of 1964, Disneyland experienced its…
