Hurricane Sandy Photos – The Amazing Moments You Have to See
As predicted, Hurricane Sandy created one crazy night. Millions without power, explosions, flooding and at least 18 people dead.

The Best Costumes From ‘HallowMeme 2012′
Halloween may be next week, but Brooklyn's 'Hallowmeme' party got the costumed fun started early. The fourth annual event, put on by the folks at Forced Meme Productions, gives people the chance to dress up like their favorite internet sensations.

We Dare You to Get Through Gnesa’s ‘Wilder’ Video
It's been a while since we've had a terrible song to rally around. This song is actually probably worse than Rebecca Black's 'Friday,' because Gnesa (catchy name) is a significantly worse singer.

See the Stars of ‘Hocus Pocus’ Then and Now
Ahhhh, 'Hocus Pocus' -- the story of three evil (singing and dancing) witches who like to eat children and sometimes also turn them into cats. They are temporarily resurrected by a kid trying to impress a lady, and then they make everyone dance, Dance, DANCE! Since this is a Disney movie, eventually the day is saved and they all lived happily ever after. But did the cast follow suit in real life?
‘Charlie Bit My Finger’ Brothers Get Their Own Show
Some people spend a lifetime working on an honing their craft in order to get their big break. Others just have their finger bitten (twice, to be fair). Charlie and Harry Davies-Car, of 'Charlie Bit My Finger - Again!' fame, are going to have their own web series, produced by Viral Spiral and Rightster Studios.
Awesome Baby Pops and Locks to Justin Bieber
This baby has got some serious moves, thanks to some help from her dad. It seems almost everybody is susceptible to "Bieber Fever."
Prankster Posts Hilarious Fake Signs in London Underground
Somebody with a seriously warped sense of humor and some time on their hands went around the London subway system and stuck these signs up. Some of these are ridiculous. Some of them contain nuggets of truth. Some of them we wish did. All of them are hilarious. Then (it is 2012) the person took pictures of them, uploaded them to the internet and shared them on Reddit. These are our favorites.
