Many of us grew up watching Looney Tunes comedy shorts (produced by Warner Bros.) and for some special reason most of us continue to love them even as adults. What’s even more amazing is that millions of kids today love Bugs Bunny, Tweety, Sylvester, Duffy Duck, and the rest of the Looney Tunes gang just as much as children loved them back in the 1930s when they were first created. Though we can name many reasons why this is so, the only sure thing is that the pure joy and laughter that these magical characters offer will uplift everyone’s spirit, regardless of age, gender, or race, for as long as they’re around….READ MORE

The human body is an evolutionary marvel. It hosts the most intelligent brain on this planet (our brains can even hold up to five times more information the the Encyclopedia Britannica…yikes), our bones are-pound for pound-stronger than some steels, and we are the best long-distance runners out of any animal.

But for being such an extraordinary living being the human possess a body that hosts an incredible amount of things that make no sense. For example, what’s the deal with male nipples. They serve no purpose, their comically unsightly, and can be sensitively painful (titty twisters anyone?)….READ MORE

Since the early ‘90s there’s been a trend in the film industry, which continues to this day and seems to be expanding at light speed. It wouldn’t be an overstatement to say that since the year 2000 there has been at least one (if not more) film every year with a superhero and today in TCmag we are evaluating some of the best portrayals in such films, with our only criteria being the awesomeness of the actor/actress portraying the superhero or villain…READ MORE

FARTS! Just reading the word can make some of us giggle like little school girls and boys. What is it about this perfectly normal biological event that seems to tickle our childhood humor? Why is it considered one of the most awkward and embarrassing things that could happen to someone in public (especially inside an airplane, with no escape, and no one else to blame). There are many misconceptions and myths surrounding this natural phenomenon and we’re here to hopefully shed some light on it all….READ MORE

From the early days of human development and the march toward civilization, men have created armed forces with the purpose of protecting their communities and borders. As technology kept improving and warfare modernized throughout history so did the militaries of these communities which gradually became city-states, kingdoms, and empires, eventually morphing into the modern nation-state in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In an era when war and military might and strategy are more dependent than ever on technology, the competition between the world’s largest militaries focuses less on active personnel and more on equipment and contemporary warfare technologies than it used to just decades ago….READ MORE

Through the centuries there have been many brave men who wrote their name in history with blood. One of these men was the glorious Roman Publius Horatius Cocles, a young officer in the army of the Roman Republic. His name went down in history as synonymous of bravery and sacrifice, which he showed during the battle of Pons Sublicius Bridge in Rome, Italy. The story begins in 509 BC with the exile of the last monarch of Rome, Lucius Tarquinius Superbus who reigned from 535 BC until the establishment of the Roman Republic. After a series of failed attempts to regain the throne, the deposed king sought assistance in Clusium, an Etruscan city….READ MORE

Nintendo is the world’s largest video game company by revenue. What started out as a manufacturer of card games in 1889 (that’s right, 1889) is now one of the most influential video game companies with a market value of over $85 billion! As an example of their cultural impact, a few days ago Nintendo announced its collaboration with Vans (famous clothing and shoe company) to launch a series of Nintendo-themed sneakers. And even though, for the moment, Vans has declined to provide any details as to the looks or the collaboration itself, there are pictures of the new shoes online, which means the buzz may have some validity….READ MORE

You’ve heard it said that life is fragile. It’s true. When you stop and consider the precision necessary for life, you can’t help but realize how precarious life really is. Take earth’s position in our galaxy for example. Earth is located in what is known as the habitable zone (also known as the Goldilocks zone). This region is the perfect distance from our sun for liquid water to exist in our planet. If the planet was any closer to the sun, water would vaporize; any farther and water would freeze. Water is absolutely necessary for our form of life to exist so as you can see, our existence depends on us remaining in this very limited, habitable zone….READ MORE

Everybody keeps talking about grown-up actors. Leonardo DiCaprio, Chris Evans, Jennifer Lawerence, and so on. But what about the kids?! The poor little tykes act too! In fact, you might argue that they act even better than the grown ups! Some movies were definitely saved by child actors. After all, who can forget Cole Sear in the sixth sense (“I see dead people”), or Ray Boyd from Jerry Maguire; and let’s not forget Macaulay Culkin as Kevin McCallister in Home Alone. These child actors were amazing and as such have become part of a short list of the 25 Most Amazing Kids In Film History Whose Roles Were Epic….READ MORE
