Phillymag analyzed Rocky's run in 'Rocky II' and deduced that the fighter would have covered 30.61 miles in real life Philadelphia during his training session.

Had he not sadly passed away in 1990, Jim Henson would be 77 today. But his work lives on, and with a new movie due out next year, The Muppets are continuing to entertain new generations. Today we're celebrating Jim Henson by sharing some amazing facts about his most famous creation: Kermit the Frog.

We like to think of the Disney parks as places where we can always find all of our favorite Disney characters, from the biggest stars to the most obscure bit players. But there's only so much room in the magical kingdoms, and characters who don't drawn a crowd often disappear to make way for characters promoting the latest movie or TV show from the Mouse House.

It's no secret that we loves cats, and once we started thinking about it, Disney is maybe responsible for some of the best cats of all time. Cinderella's jerk of a cat is pretty much the original Grumpy Cat. And who could say anything bad about the Chesire cat (other than that he was a tad obtuse)?

Wow, people are upset that Ben Affleck is going to be the next Batman. Like, really upset. It's almost like this somehow simultaneously affects them personally (it doesn't), and they have nothing else in their lives to worry about (we're jealous).

If you thought you couldn't handle the end of 'Homeward Bound' before, just wait til you watch this video.

You're not from just any starship  -- you're from the Enterprise-D, class Galaxy, baby. Back when people still got stuck in turbolifts and even a kid could solve a major engineering crisis. Are you a true Enterprise-D kid like Wil Wheaton, aka Wesley Crusher from 'Star Trek: The Next Generation'? Here's how you know.

Like many Harry Potter fans, we are convinced that our Hogwarts acceptance letter was hidden away by cruel parents on our 11th birthday, or else it somehow got lost in owl-post. Either way, we've been cruelly denied the opportunity to stroll the famous, cobbled street in order to shop for magical school supplies.

Hey, why not watch classic movies overdubbed with the voices from Spongebob Squarepants'? Seriously, what have you got to lose, other than your bad attitude, Mr. 'I-don't-want-to-hear-Spongebob-do-'Singin'-in-the-Rain'?

Remember that line from 'Empire Records,' "Who knows where thoughts come from? They just appear"? That's pretty much the first thing that popped into our mind when we saw the Exploding Actresses Tumblr.
