Appears in: Mary Jane #1-4, Mary Jane: Homecoming #1-4, Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane #1-20. Collected in: Mary Jane Vols 1-2, Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane Vols 1-4. The Mary Jane comics are one of Marvel’s many attempts to appeal to the preteen/teen girl demographic. It’s one of the few times that the comic book industry as a whole has tried and succeeded in creating an entertaining comic targeting young girls that wasn’t horribly sexist....
The Myth: Somebody who avoids social interaction is “antisocial”. This is mostly a semantic error, which is why I put it in tenth place. Many people refer to someone who is reluctant to participate in social situations as “antisocial”. In fact, these people are often pro-social, even unusually so. Antisocial Personality Disorder is diagnosed in adults who consistently ignore the rights of others by behaving violently, lying, stealing, or generally acting recklessly with no concern for the safety of themselves or others....
Add to that the number of people who have been “accidentally” mummified by the natural conditions in which they died, and you’ll see that mummies can be found almost anywhere, not just in pyramids. The following mummies range from the fascinating to the downright bizarre, although you probably never learned about them in school. 10 The Spirit Cave Mummy The Spirit Cave Mummy was discovered in Spirit Cave near Fallon in Nevada....
Metal bands are synonymous with loud music, weird costumes, and radical behaviors. Some have even gained so much notoriety that they have been classified as dangerous and satanic. Here are ten exceptionally vilified metal groups. 10 Murder Junkies The Murder Junkies are not as notorious today as they were in the 1980s and 1990s. Today, the band is known for its lewd lyrics about drugs, rape, and serial killers. Dino, the group’s drummer, is famous for drumming naked....
10 Absurd Sleep Habits Of Wild Animals 10 The B.C. Sled Dog Execution, Canada, 2011 After the end of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, the number of tourists who wanted to take a ride in sleds pushed by dogs diminished considerably. The sled dog tour industry went into crisis, and some companies were not able to continue into business if they did not cut costs – which really meant reducing the numbers of dogs they maintained....
Light travels at 186,000 miles [300,000 kilometers] per second, which equals out to 5,878,000,000,000 miles [9,461,000,000,000 km] each year. Therefore, at this rate, it would take light more than 4 years of traveling at top speed to reach the Alpha Centauri triple-star system, the closest celestial neighbors of the sun. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is so long, it would take light over 100,000 years of traveling, before making its way across the galaxy, coming out on the other side....
Baigong Pipes The Baigong Pipes are a series of pipe-like features found on and near Mount Baigong about 40 km southeast of the city of Delingha, in the Haixi Mongol and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, China. The Baigong Pipes are reported to be associated with a “pyramid” about 50 to 60 meters (160 to 200 feet high) built on Mount Baigong. The front of the “pyramid” is reported to contain three caves....
Assassin’s Creed was a game which showed great promise in the run up to its release. With stunning graphics and an apparent free world to explore the title looked certain to be a classic. Ultimately though the game was excruciatingly repetitive with just a handful of different things to do – like pickpocket someone or eavesdropping on a conversation, which were tiresomely repeated over and over again. This game was simply boring; I don’t know anyone who could play this game after the initial excitement which filled about half an hour....
Then came the disclaimer: He had been crying wolf. The man later revealed that his name wasn’t Phuc Dat Bich and Facebook never suspended his account. The whole thing was an elaborate hoax. Lucky him. For others, their names are no joke and have caused them some real problems. Some have received death threats and almost been murdered for having the wrong name. 10 Osama bin Laden One Iraqi boy realized the consequences of having the wrong name after he and his family received death threats because he shared a name with Osama bin Laden....
In this list, we’ll take a look at 10 of the pettiest punishments ever doled out by the gods atop Mount Olympus. 10 Hades The god of the underworld is often portrayed as the ultimate evil of Greek mythology in modern media. Ironically, Hades is likely one of the more reasonable gods, and compared to his brothers, Zeus and Poseidon, he might as well be a saint. That being said, Hades is no stranger to being petty in his dealings with humans and gods alike....
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a bit of strangeness in our environment? A little something out of the ordinary to renew your faith in the Cosmic Jester? If you answered “Yes,” this list will be for you. If “no” was your answer, and you’re happy with the drudgery and the liminality of your cookie-cutter world, just remember one thing: there’s a place on our planet where a waterfall falls horizontally....

In the introduction to Top 10 Reasons The Middle Ages Were Not Dark, I said: ‘[T]he term “dark ages” is almost as ancient as the period itself—it was coined in the 1330s by Petrarch, the Italian scholar, to refer to the decline of Latin literature. It was later taken by the protestant reformers (16th century) and then the members of the Enlightenment (18th century) as a derogatory term with much broader implications, because they saw their own “enlightenment” as absent from the earlier period....

In the end, they may survive Armageddon and dominate the world. 10 Distinct City Groups During a 2018 study, four cities were chosen and 150 rats were captured from each. They came from Vancouver, New York, New Orleans, and Salvador, a city in Brazil....
Most new inventions offer a slight improvement on previous designs, or they might even offer something unique. Still, changing the world with a single invention is rare, and not every new thing is going to be the next radio, television, or Internet. These ten devices made such a claim, but despite being praised upon their introduction to the world, they completely failed to change it. 10 Dangerous Misconceptions About Nuclear Technology...

However, estimations have been made on the most secure place to be....
The Question: “What do you mean I’m funny?” This one is on the list because, at first, it is delivered harmlessly, and then the gravity of it is suddenly thrust upon us like a landmine. It is also the first of two appearances on this list from the 1990 mafia classic. Joe Pesci, brilliantly portraying Mafioso Tommy DeVito, is shooting the breeze and trading laughs with Ray Liotta, portraying Henry Hill, and others at a table....
