There’s a Life-sized Statue of Godzilla in Japan

0

Call us old fashioned but when someone walks if someone walked into our house, broke all of our furniture and then left a car-sized dump in our toilet before leaving, our first reaction wouldn’t be to invite that person to live with us. Then again, we’re not as polite as the Japanese who did exactly that to their most famously destructive resident, Godzilla. 

Nobody Censors Kurt Cobain!

0

Throughout his life Kurt Cobain lived the rock star dream by basically doing whatever the fuck he wanted all of the time, admittedly the thing Cobain usually wanted to do was a shit-ton of heroin, but hey, we’re not here to judge.

Alan Rickman pretty much was Severus Snape, he owned that role so hard copies of the 6th Harry Potter book burst into flames when he walked past them. And now that he’s sadly no longer with us because God apparently needed a scary sounding British man to read bed time stories to Jesus, we’re going to dig up an old article of ours to talk about one the more quirky facts about the character he’ll forever be synonymous with and the fact that Rickman never changed clothes while playing him, like, ever.
