Batman Fighting a Shark with a Lightsaber

Sometimes I think its good to have absolutely no background on a picture whatsoever. It really makes it all the more mysterious when you have so many unanswered questions.

Why Batman?

Why a shark?

Why a lightsaber?

Why the combination of all three?

What drugs was the artist on when he made this?

If you know the answers, let the rest of us just sit and wonder in silence.

Star Wars Gone Sexy Burlesque Show

Published by Nattyb under Oddly Enough

Star Wars Girls

After seeing the images you are about to see I’m pretty sure it’s safe to say you might not be visiting the Bordello Club in Los Angeles.  Well this unless you have completely strange fetishes and get off on women wearing things like garbage, rubber, metal, and whatever the hell else that goes on there.

However, that’s not really what we’re bringing you here today.  Today we’ve come across some pictures of a Burlesque show that centered on a pretty interesting theme:  Star Wars.

I’m not quite sure if these images are “sexy” or disturbing.  I’m sure plenty of people got their rocks off but I don’t know, you be the judge.

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na BATCAT!

Published by Paul Tassi under Images, Movies, Oddly Enough

Was that the right amount of “nas”? I double checked, but you can never be too careful.

Most of the internet has had a cat obssession for a while now,  so honestly, I’m quite surprised this is the first picture of a cat with a Batman mask on I’ve seen. I assume this was attempted a million times before, only to have the cat wildly thrash around instead of sitting still for a picture.

I Googled “Catman” to proove this hypothesis, and that turned out to be an eye-gouging mistake. “Batcat” had better results, but still none as cool as this one.

Boba Fett Plays the Legend of Zelda Theme on the Accordion…Of Course He Does

Published by Paul Tassi under Oddly Enough, Videos

One year ago in Union Square, NYC:

Friend: Let’s walk through the park part, I want a brownie at one of these stands.

Me: Alright, but those brownies are terrible.

Friend: Holy shit! Is that Boba Fett?

Me: Boba Fett? Where?

(spins around, knocking accordion playing Boba Fett off his chair)

Alright, so I didn’t knock him over, but I totally did see accordion-Boba Fett in Union Square live, which is why I was super pumped to see this YouTube video of him online.  He’s playing the Legend of Zelda theme, which is of course what you would expect a Boba Fett accordion player to be playing, and I’m curious as to what other tunes he’s sporting.

Boba and the Fetts would be a really cool name for a band.

Leaked Footage from Robert Rodriguez’s Predators!

Published by Paul Tassi under Movies, Oddly Enough, Videos

I’m sorry, was that mean? It was probably mean. I had a whole story prepared about how it was the secret, ancient Predators mating dance that was a part of the new film, but I sort of doubted that you’d buy that. And no offense, but I would have thought in the thousands of years it takes to develop space travel and cloaking technology, someone would have invented some better dance moves.

In reality, I’m informed that this is on the set of Predators 2, and it’s just the cast messing around in between takes. Not a bad way to blow off steam, but I have to imagine it gets pretty hot in those things.

Now, if only they could challenge an Alien crew to a dance off that would decide the fate of the universe. That’s an Aliens vs. Predators 3 I’d actually watch.

A Map of the Internet

Published by Paul Tassi under Images, Oddly Enough

map-of-the-internet2.jpg

So a while back, XKCD did a rather elaborate map of the internet that was pretty cool, but recently Paul Kwiatkowski did an updated, simpler version that I actually like a lot better. 4Chan is an island, Digg and Reddit are warring, and Wikipedia is neutral Switzerland, filled with skiing.

Where is Unreality on this map you might wonder? I think we’re a part of the “Confederacy of Blogs” (Captain, first grade) located in the corner between Gawker and Kotaku. That seems like a decently adequate blend of what we do here, if you throw in a little JoBlo and TV Squad. I met the founder of Gawker once. He’s English.

Sure, the new map is missing big sites like Google, but I like to think that Google is the crust of the earth that everything else sits on. Yahoo is Antarctica.

A Coca Cola Powered Cell Phone

Published by Nattyb under Oddly Enough

Coke Cellphone

Chinese designer Daizi Zheng has created a mobile phone that uses sweet drinks like Coca Cola instead of lithium batteries.

Zheng has been working on this revolutionary device for Finnish cellphone giant Nokia, and claims he has come up with a way of using sugar-based drinks to power mobiles. Any sweet drink, even sugar-sweetened water would be enough to keep the phone running much longer than lithium batteries

As if Coca Cola wasn’t amazing enough.  Now they can use this liquid to power a cell phone?  I mean is this going to have to be a secret too?  Can you believe that their recipe is in like the top 5 world’s biggest kept secrets?  Pretty cool huh?

I Bet Her Name’s Alice

Published by Paul Tassi under Images, Movies, Oddly Enough

How does something like this happen? Like how do you end up loving Alice in Wonderland so much, that you get the entire goddamn movie tattooed on your back? Now, I’m not saying it isn’t awesome, and I’m very glad she did it as I now have my 1PM post for the day here, but man, absurd.

Here’s a question, if you could get one movie tattooed on your back, what would it be? Not just like, characters from the movie, I mean like, a series of scenes that more or less would tell someone the entire plot of the movie.

I’m going to have to go with Sunshine, just because the giant sun on the middle of my back would look SUPER AWESOME. Although, yellow tattoos look sort of shitty. But anyway, the rest of it would be pretty excellent as well. I would have said Moon, but I don’t want like 25 versions of Sam Rockwell on my back.

10 Examples of When You Remove Their Weaknesses

Published by Nattyb under Images, Lists, Oddly Enough

Remove Weaknesses

I will begin this article with a quote and explanation about how this fun little game works….

You know who was a loving badass? The Tyrannosaurus Rex. But even he had his weakness, that weakness being his wussy little baby arms. Imagine, however, you are trapped in the Cretaceous, scared and alone.  All of a sudden you hear a noise behind you… it almost sounds like… cracking knuckles…

See the picture above?  That’s the game.  What would happen if certain people, creatures, games, etc etc had their weaknesses removed?  The results would be both interesting and more to the point funny.

Here are 10 examples of this exercise after the jump

10 Celebrities Turned Muscle Heads

Published by Nattyb under Images, Oddly Enough

Celebrity Muscle

God I hate these women

Perhaps the easiest tool in all of photoshop is the bloating tool.  It’s used to make two things I love seeing morphed on the human body.  The first is seeing what it looks like to give women bigger boobs.  Anyone who hasn’t used it for this purpose is obviously a liar.  The second use is making people fatter or skinnier or having muscles.

And of course it’s always more fun when you are using a celebrity.   A while back the folks at Worth 1000 put together a celebrity muscle contest to see what it’d look like if some celebrities got ‘roided up.

While most entries sucked there were ten that I thought were pretty decent.  Here they are with new “appropriate” names.
