They need more. They need to write and perform terrible songs for people to laugh at. Maybe they overestimated their talents, or perhaps they took a few too many chairshots to the head. Regardless, here are seven grapplers who picked up way more than they could body slam.

Sometimes you want to research one thing, perhaps a rogue intergalactic smuggler, but for some reason Wikipedia sends you to an article about something with the same name that’s significantly less important. Here are five egregious examples we’ve come across in our travels.

Then a bunch of know-it-all scientists ruined our fun and told us it was probably just a big rock from space. But that hasn’t stopped science fiction from offering its own insane theories on what (or what evil alien race) killed off our reptilian predecessors.

Most science-fiction considers humans a pack of morons floating on a rock to be sneered at by more intelligent planets. So the poor saps who choose to learn from us are particularly absurd. Here are seven aliens, cavemen and other beings who study our culture — or the closest thing we have to culture: our television shows.

Real adolescence is full of insecurity, change, stickiness, and other things no one actually wants to see on a big screen. However, there’s a fine line between comfortably post-pubescent and an obviously receding hairline. Here’s seven actors who were simply too old to play high school.

Pete Best, Former Drummer, The Beatles

Kicked out of the greatest rock band ever, Pete Best is history’s most famous person famous for not being famous. The reasons behind Best’s notorious 1962 dismissal as The Beatles’ drummer — two years before their historic Ed Sullivan show – have been a point of debate among Beatlemaniacs and members of the Pete Best Fan Club for decades. Some claim he lacked the solid beats needed to support a rock band, while others claim John and Paul vainly wanted a less attractive drummer. Considering his replacement was the dubious-looking Ringo Starr, the second theory actually seems likely.

When good music meets good movies, it’s a beautiful thing. When great music meets terrible movies, it’s a hilarious thing. Here are 10 classic singles originally written for 10 not-so-classic films.

Since Samuel Beckett’s “Waiting For Godot,” the characters we don’t see have been far more powerful than the ones we do. We’ve never seen Waiting For Godot and never go to the theater, so we looked at Wilson, Nanny, and 10 other TV personalities everyone knows, but nobody recognizes.

Lost

Before helming this summer’s reboot of Star Trek, Lost mastermind J.J. Abrams was the patron saint of sudden bus accidents. Abrams is known for creating drama through mystery and the unknown, but sometimes all the drama in the world can’t do the job of something with more than four wheels abruptly flattening someone.

Traditionally, historians don’t like to play “what if” with history. You can’t change the past, so better to focus on what did happen, not what could have happened. Of course, while history majors were getting their PhD’s, the rest of us were hanging around our dorms, wondering what it’d be like if some of our favorite films had went with their original leading men.

They don’t actually believe music gives them supernatural powers. Heavy Metal bands do. Here’s a sampling of some famous ’80s guitar gods who used the awesome force of music for everything from interdimentional travel to invincibility to winning a basketball game (co-edited by Brian Murphy.)…

Blade Runner

Horror films enjoy including eye-gouging for gross-out effect. Philosophical films like Blade Runner, however, tend to use the move as a sophisticated Oedipal metaphor. Either way, we the audience get our well-deserved share of thumbed carnage.

28 Days Later

Danny Boyle’s post-modern zombie flick explored the savage similarities between man and monster. The conclusion: you don’t need to be undead to jam your opposable digits into someone’s skull until blood oozes out like red corn syrup.
