Poor 18-month-old Jaxson Denno was told—by his own mother, no less—that "Iron Man" was shooting a movie near his house and they were going to drive to the set to meet him. You can imagine young Jaxson's heartbreak upon meeting, not Iron Man, but some loser named Robert Downey Jr. instead. "He was fine as soon as he talked to him," Jaxson's mom assured People magazine ...

Meet Morris, the cat whose goal is to run the “rats” out of politics in the town of Xalapa, Mexico. His owners say in addition to his predator instinct, he also promises to do what most corrupt politicians do: “Sleep, eat, yawn and play in the dirt.” Though he can’t actually be on the ballot because of some arcane rule preventing animals from running for office, his owners have encouraged voters to write his name on the ballot. So far, he’s got more Facebook “Likes” than three of the four candidates also in the running. You can see more about the story here, and bonus, there’s also a slideshow of "10 Animals Who Ran for Office" …

Evidently, a sixth grade math teacher from Colombes in France showed his entire class that beloved jewel of childhood cinema, Saw, because there is nothing math teachers enjoy more than torturing young minds. Kidding, of course. Math is a very important subject, and Saw is nightmare garbage. Apparently, Jean-Baptiste Clément told his students "This will be your first horror film," hit play and that was about it. So what exactly was going on in his mind and how he thought this would help his students learn about math is difficult to determine. He's been given a one-day suspension while the school tries to figure out what on earth went on ...

Earlier this week, we introduced you to this perfectly mustachioed puppy. Now we’d like you to meet Hamilton the Hipster Cat. The well-groomed feline was rescued from the Humane Society Silicon Valley shelter and is now on the verge of Internet superstardom. According to The San Francisco Chronicle, Urban Outfitters is signing him to a T-shirt deal, and he will soon have an actual business manager. It appears gentlemanly is the new grumpy …

M. Night Shyamalan is one of Hollywood's most tragic figures. Heralded as a genius for the first half of his career (The Sixth Sense! Unbreakable! Signs!) he has since devolved into the punchline of a desperately unfunny joke. But wait! Could redemption be in the air for Mr. Shyamalan?

In an interview on May 29, M. Night Shyamalan confessed that he ghostwrote in his past and that he was too embarrassed to even say the name of the film ...After the gentlest of prodding from the interviewer, who simply said "We'd love to hear about it," Shyamalan replied: "I ghostwrote the movie She's All That."

Game changer. She's All That, as you may remember, was an incredible 1999 Freddie Prince Jr. vehicle in which Rachel Leigh Cook plays a girl who hides her beauty behind glasses and a ponytail (yuck) and Freddie Prince Jr. plays himself. And it was written by M. Night Shyamalan, meaning this guy's early career was on a whole different stratosphere than anyone imagined, making his recent downfall that much more baffling. And making us, in the paraphrased words of She's All That's protagonist, just an audience, standing in front a director, asking what happened to him ...

Remember where you were on the weekend of June 8, 2013. It is very likely that historians and humanities scholars will look back on this day as a pivotal moment in the story of mankind. After years of trying to figure out how to create the world’s most lethal junk food with as little nutritional value as possible, someone created the Krispy Kreme Sloppy Joe this weekend, marking a profoundly sad moment for the human race. The “sandwich” was unveiled at the San Diego County Fair, by Chicken Charlie. Of course, the creation is also served with a bacon-wrapped fried pickle …

Meet the world’s most sophisticated puppy. He enjoys long games of fetch on the beach at twilight, reading Where the Red Fern Grows and other fine works of K-9 literature and sampling gourmet dog foods from around the world. Being born with a perfectly-shaped curly mustache birthmark has its benefits …

No matter how old you are, chemotherapy is really tough. But for kids who have to go through the cancer treatment, visiting the hospital for the physically brutal drug is especially difficult. That’s why a hospital in Brazil had an ad agency create these custom IV bags featuring DC Comics’ superhero logos. They even created special comic books showing the heroes receiving chemotherapy to restore their superpowers and health …

Every day since 1978, Don and Nancy Featherstone have worn homemade, matching outfits as a show of their devotion to each other. Even if they’re separated or traveling, they’ll make sure to call each other just to plan their outfits. And, in case you were wondering, yes, Don is also the inventor of the pink flamingo lawn ornament …

Nick Offerman is known for playing Ron Swanson on NBC's Parks & Rec, but it might be more accurate to say Nick Offerman is known for being himself on NBC's Parks & Rec. When he's not acting, he works as a professional woodworker, and also—as his excellent Reddit AMA proved—has a winsomely gruff charm and a wonderful way with words. So it is a boon to all of us that he has decided to release his own book called Paddle Your Own Canoe. It's available for pre-order right now, and it's required reading ...

Following a recent rash of gay bullying—at least one incident of which turned deadly—a band of eight self-styled superheroes calling themselves the New York Initiative have moved into Greenwich Village. They are members of a nationwide group known as The Initiative Collective—a volunteer crime prevention outfit that encourages people to fight back against violence using self-defense, armor and theatrics—in addition to doing general good deeds like fundraising, feeding the homeless and offering free martial arts training to anyone who wants it. Athame, Dark Guardian, Zero, Spyder and Spectre (all pictured, left to right) are trained in martial arts, armed in defensive tactical gear and bullet-proof vests, and are on a mission to protect the helpless. "Violence on its own is wrong, and it's even worse when a specific group is being targeted," Dark Guardian said. "We care about everyone, from every walk of life, and we want to keep everybody safe. Our focus now is the Village" ...

Evidently, simply switching television shows’ opening theme songs can pretty dramatically change their tone. Who knew How I Met Your Mother could look so ominous? ...

Zev is only 14 years old, but he’s already become a skilled photographer. But “Fiddle Oak,” as he is known on his blog, is interested in more than just travel pictures and shots of family and friends. With the help of his 17-year-old sister and Photoshop, he’s created these amazing, fairy-tale-inspired self-portraits that remind you of everything great about childhood …

In an age in which almost anyone and everything has been compared to Hitler at some point, it takes something like this tea kettle from JCPenney to remind you when something actually bears a resemblance to Hitler ...

Proving once again that Yahoo’s purchase of Tumblr was well-worth the $1.1 billion it paid the social blogging site, someone has created PhonesReplacedWithSandwiches.tumblr.com. It is exactly what it sounds like …

We can’t think of one reason not to buy this Ikea monkey air freshener. Seriously, Treat. Yo. Self …

In 1989 Joanna Rohrback created this workout video to promote her new fitness routine inspired by the graceful agility of horses. Somehow, it didn’t catch on. This week, the Internet revived the strangely awesome Prancercise video, and Rohrback has become an overnight online sensation. Sure, the somewhat surreal exercise video (which kind of reminds us of a Ben Kweller music video) is getting a lot of laughs, but Rohrback is being a good sport about the whole thing and is just excited to be receiving all of the attention. Now, if you’ll excuse us, we’ve got some air punches to do …

Even if this hands-free "Whopper Holder" may be somewhat tongue-in-cheek, the very fact that it exists is enough for us to be concerned about the fate of humanity. Burger King is currently giving them away as prizes for customer loyalty in Puerto Rico—but really, there are no “winners” when the prize is a contraption that allows you to hold a cheeseburger inches from your face without even having to exert the effort of moving your arms …

We neither have, nor do we need, any additional context for this photo other than it is a man in a Batman costume officiating a wedding. If nothing else, the Internet has made it acceptable for superheroes, fictional characters and dinosaurs to now be a part of wedding ceremonies …
