7 Insane Easter Eggs Hidden in Movies and TV Shows The Hidden Madness in Apocalypto The only background information you need about this Easter egg is this: Mel Gibson is insane. GettyHe may also be Snidely Whiplash. Got it? OK, we're good to go. After the success of The Passion and faced with the impossibility of doing a sequel without pissing off the movie's considerable fanbase, Gibson decided to direct another long, violent film set hundreds of years in the past and spoken in an ancient language: Apocalypto. Don't see it? Yes, apparently, Mel Gibson slipped a subliminal image of his crazy beard in the trailer for his movie. "I like groping people." In the theatrical cut of Apocalypto it's literally like that, because as the camera pans over a massive pile of dead bodies in a particularly grisly scene... you can see a single frame of Waldo lying among the corpses. OK, that has to be a hoax, it was probably shot by some bored guy in his backyard or some- Nope, that doesn't look like someone's backyard. Didn't think so. A French lady singing.

Funny2 - Fun Things To Do In an Elevator Dare you to try them! When you get off the elevator, whisper to the others who stayed on, "I'd get off the elevator NOW if I were you." When the other people in the elevator leave, yell "SHARON!" (thanks to Jessica) Hum the "Mission Impossible" theme, speak into your lapel and say "Right, Jim". When there is only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder and then pretend it wasn't you. Sit with a desk, pencil cup and a telephone in the elevator. Push a button, pretend it gave you a shock. Ask the others in the elevator which floor they're going to, but push the wrong buttons. Call the Psychic Hotline and ask them if they know which floor you're on. Hold the doors open as if you're waiting for a friend, but then let it close. Drop a pen, wait for someone to pick it up and then yell, "That's mine!" Put a cardboard box in the corner; when someone gets on ask them if they can hear ticking. When the doors close, announce, "Don't worry, they'll open again soon." Enforce a group hug.
SCHOPENHAUERS 38 STRATAGEMS, OR 38 WAYS TO WIN AN ARGUMENT Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860), was a brilliant German philosopher. These 38 Stratagems are excerpts from "The Art of Controversy", first translated into English and published in 1896. Carry your opponent's proposition beyond its natural limits; exaggerate it. The more general your opponent's statement becomes, the more objections you can find against it. The more restricted and narrow his or her propositions remain, the easier they are to defend by him or her. Use different meanings of your opponent's words to refute his or her argument.

Lesson 1238 - Harassment I wrote this comic months ago, after seeing certain statements come up in harassment and rape reports over and over again. Yes, it certainly simplifies the issue, and no, it doesn't cover all types of harassment. But it's important to remember something - seeking attention is not the same as seeking harassment. If someone has been harassed or raped, then by definition, they were not asking for it. At some point, you can't shift the blame, and you will always be responsible for your own actions. I'm sure some of you reading this are going to disagree. This isn't an easy subject, no matter the focus attempted at in the final panel. (On a side note, theSwede (my wife) asked that I make sure to point out that that is not her slip stretched out, but actually from my Halloween 'Freudian slip' costume from a couple years ago.

Green Goddess Dressing {recipe} – Aphrodite Would Be Jealous [Eating Rainbow | Green | no. 7 Herbs] I have been talking about it for weeks now. Weeks? No, make that months. I have been talking about this with everyone who sets foot in the TasteSpotting Kitchen. Tweeting about it. And it looks like I’m just going to keep on writing about it before actually, well, writing about…oh, ok. Green Goddess Dressing. I started thinking about Green Goddess dressing back when I was strategizing a “Summer Slim Down” series that was basically all salads. Olive oil. Avocado. Anchovy. Herbs. Herbs are a relatively new “thing” in the TasteSpotting Kitchen, which has traditionally leaned more toward spices. But we had an epiphany recently when we spent some tender time with…thyme. So what makes herbs healthy enough to be part of the Eating Rainbow? Really though, we’re putting Green Goddess dressing under the Eating Rainbow for a slightly indirect reason. Think of the most disgustingly healthy thing you’ve had to eat in the last 10 years. Raw kale? Straight cold tofu?
