5 Amazing Things Invented by Donald Duck (Seriously)



We're guessing you haven't thought about Donald Duck even once today. Sure, Disney's cartoon ducks are some of the most iconic characters around -- Uncle Scrooge, his nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie, and of course, their half-naked uncle with anger control issues, Donald. But it's not like they're relevant to your life at all.

Oh, you couldn't be more wrong. For the last 50 years, these ducks have been busy changing the goddamn world, and it continues right to this moment. Seriously.

7 Psychotic Pieces of Relationship Advice from Cosmo





We get it. Guys are tough to figure out: There's like 24 possible combinations that you can make with 1) beer 2) food 3) sex and 4) sports. No wonder their girlfriends have to resort to lady magazines to gain insight into the buzzing hive that is the male mind. We know most women laugh that stuff off as cheap entertainment not to be taken seriously, but what if they actually did listen to all of the advice?

It'd pretty much turn into a nightmare of paranoia and petty revenge. After all, according to various Cosmo articles...


6 Reasons The Guy Who's Fixing Your Computer Hates You



By my calculations, about 96 percent of all computer repairs are done, not by the local computer guy or the Geek Squad, but by The Friend Who is Good With Computers. Often that friend is nothing more than an average computer user who knows how to look up error messages on Google, but it doesn't matter -- once they become known as TFWIGWC, they will get the call every time something goes wrong. And they will fix it, probably for free, because TFWIGWC pities you.

7 Movies That Put Insane Work Into Details You Didn't Notice





Easter eggs are usually kind of a bum deal. Sure, when you finally find one it's like having a secret conversation with your favorite director ... but he's kind of a jerk, the conversation is one-sided and it's usually all about how much of a loser you are for spending a hundred hours sifting through the special features on your Firefly DVD just to find something Joss Whedon slapped together in five minutes.

What follows are the direct opposite of that: These are seven instances where the creators poured their blood, sweat and several other more unsavory fluids into creating something and put it right in front of your face ... and you didn't even notice.

Now who's the jerk, huh?

Note: In a time of bad movies birthed by a sick congress of stupidity and laziness, it's easy to forget that film can be great, can be chock-full of secrets, and can truly mean something to us. Like, in our hearts. So while you're waiting for the next great movie, we hope you'll use this Cracked Classic to remind yourself that good movies are even possible -- all it takes is for the creator to be completely out of their minds. -Cracked

10 Of The Most Distressing WWE Neck Injuries In History





Some people seem to take the “Break a leg” phrase a little too seriously. Or so, it seems, on the WWE platform. A stage where everyone seems to excel at performing flips, double flips and twists in the air, WWE is home to a big bunch of wrestlers. And why not? We are positive that the entire set has seen the blood of several wrestlers.

The entire world has witnessed many of these bad boys and girls receiving wounds and injuries (as a matter of fact, reports say that a WWE wrestler even died on the sets). While a few were alright, in a matter of weeks, other players had to painstakingly wait for months to get back on their feet.

A number of the WWE sensations have a history of injuries. In fact, we think that Vince McMahon needs to host an award function, giving out awards like, “Worst Gash Receiver”, “Worst Leg Buster”, “King of Concussions” and even, “The Dude Who Has Seen It All.” The last would definitely go to Mick Foley. Misplaced jaw and shoulder, bruised organs, broken teeth and many others – there isn’t much that this guy has not endured. It is a sad matter when your favorite wrestler has fallen down, even if a few of the fans’ reactions are a little hilarious. Out of all the places possible, obtaining an injury to the neck is quite dangerous; even a teensy move could lead to the death of a wrestler. Sadly, the WWE members have a variety of signature moves that are directed to that region. Congratulating yourself on the decision of resisting yourself from joining WWE, take a look at our list of 10 of the most distressing WWE neck injuries in history.

1. Darren Drozdov



A terrifying incident for WWE and for himself, Darren Drozdov’s injury earns a spot on our list. In a match, facing D’Lo Brown, Droz was supposed to be finished off with D’Lo’s signature move. Although, what happened next was a nightmare.

In the Running Powerbomb move, the rival finds himself in between D’Lo’s legs (head under the crotch too. Oh, the ickiness), only to be thrown into the air and landed on his head. However, during the D’Lo and Droz match, a badly-executed throw had Droz fracturing his neck. While conspiracy theorists claim foul play with the likes of Pepsi and Mirinda thrown onto the stage (What in the world…), poor Droz faced quadriplegia. Occurring in 1999, this injury led to Droz being confined to a wheelchair. So, basically, if life hands you a bad blow to the neck, you go on to become Professor X. Cool, or what?

2. Stone Cold



A grand WWE wrestler, Stone Cold has landed a spot on this list of 10 of the most distressing WWE neck injuries in history. Even though he got back to his feet, just a few months after the whole ordeal, Stone Cold proved that it was all about willpower. And here, we strive to manage to get up on time in the morning.

A Spike Piledriver gone wrong, (a move which requires the offender to do a crazy dance around the ring before attacking his contender – that is what we saw off some YouTube videos), Stone Cold broke his neck in 1997. After suffering from insistent pain for years, doctors sat him down to tell him to bag the game or risk losing the use of his legs.
