The seagulls kept away by the smell is highly speculative.

This thing must have been awful if anyone was considering that as a possibility.

So this is mostly funny to Norwegians and Swedes but in Marvels latest massive event Venoms big daddy is set to appear and his name is Knull. Now that might sound cool to English speakers, but in Norway and Sweden the word knull means gently caress. :woomy:
To celebrate Marvel has released several variant covers where all the classic heroes have been fuckified.

Why would Venom's progenitor have the same spider motif as Venom? He wouldn't have absorbed any of Peter's spider powers.

He’s riding off Venom’s established brand for the sake of frightening the Earthlings. Or maybe Venom got mixed up with Spidey because his kind has an affinity for those shapes already!

Pretty sure that Ghost Rider cover is just a Meatloaf album cover with "Ghost Rider" taped on it. Bat out of Hell, 95% sure.

Ok they taped a flaming skull over some long haired dudes face too.

Now I want to see another Ghost Rider movie where every time Nic Cage has a freak out Meatloaf pops up and belts out unintelligble lyrics and sweats all over. Maybe Nic Cage turns into Meatloaf instead of some lame flaming skull. He sweats on the bad guys and they run away to go shower and do evil no more.

It doesn't matter what's on the cover of Bat out of Hell because everybody in the world knew within a week that it was the greatest album of all time, just by word of mouth. There were monks that broke forty year vows of silence just to say "you gotta get this fuckin record dude"

God drat, this thing still makes me laugh my rear end off. I first heard about it when Dave Barry wrote about it in a column back in 1990 and I was disappointed I'd only ever have second hand accounts of it. Then the Internet happened. God bless the Internet for bringing this to the masses.

fake edit:
Dave Barry column

quote:

I am absolutely not making this incident up; in fact I have it all on videotape. The tape is from a local TV news show in Oregon, which sent a reporter out to cover the removal of a 45-foot, eight-ton dead whale that washed up on the beach. The responsibility for getting rid of the carcass was placed upon the Oregon State Highway Division, apparently on the theory that highways and whales are very similar in the sense of being large objects.

So anyway, the highway engineers hit upon the plan — remember, I am not making this up — of blowing up the whale with dynamite. The thinking here was that the whale would be blown into small pieces, which would be eaten by sea gulls, and that would be that. A textbook whale removal.

So they moved the spectators back up the beach, put a half-ton of dynamite next to the whale and set it off. I am probably not guilty of understatement when I say that what follows, on the videotape, is the most wonderful event in the history of the universe. First you see the whale carcass disappear in a huge blast of smoke and flame. Then you hear the happy spectators shouting “Yayy!” and “Whee!” Then, suddenly, the crowd’s tone changes. You hear a new sound like “splud.” You hear a woman’s voice shouting “Here come pieces of… MY GOD!” Something smears the camera lens.

Later, the reporter explains: “The humor of the entire situation suddenly gave way to a run for survival as huge chunks of whale blubber fell everywhere.” One piece caved in the roof of a car parked more than a quarter of a mile away. Remaining on the beach were several rotting whale sectors the size of condominium units. There was no sign of the sea gulls, who had no doubt permanently relocated in Brazil. This is a very sobering videotape. Here at the institute we watch it often, especially at parties. But this is no time for gaiety. This is a time to get hold of the folks at the Oregon State Highway division and ask them, when they get done cleaning up the beaches, to give us an estimate on the US Capitol.
