Mandela

If your favorite show as a child was The Berenstein Bears, I’m sorry to say that they never existed. Their last name was actually Berenstain. And if you recall the Monopoly Man having a monocle or the Fruit of the Loom logo containing a cornucopia, you’re sadly mistaken. These are all classic examples of the Mandela Effect.And if you’re interested in even more inexplicable situations where many people swear they remember something differently than how it is today, you’ve come to the right place, pandas! Below, we’ve…

Is he related to the Berenstein Bears? Uh oh. It looks like CERN may have fired again. We’re now in a timeline graced by the existence of Fiddlebert. Of course, you remember Fiddlebert from Pikmin, right? For those that don’t; Fiddlebert was supposedly Pikmin 1’s second captain. He was “rushed” since he was just a smaller and green version of Olimar. He would sometimes randomly speak another language and was removed from the Wii and Switch ports of the game…at least, that’s what folks on the Pikmin subreddit would…

Image via Lucasfilm A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, there was an iconic image from Star Wars which has been ingrained into the collective pop culture memory. But what if we told you this still which everyone and their dog recalls was never actually in the film? 1977’s Star Wars is possibly the single most influential film ever made. Completely reinventing science fiction, fantasy, and blockbuster entertainment all in one, you cannot escape its impact anywhere in pop culture or even in day-to-day…

No matter how old you get, there’s always stuff to learn. That’s what 50 years in music has taught me. I’m not just talking about learning from a book. I’m talking about reading body language, understanding how people’s minds work, understanding that everybody has their own thoughts and ways they’d like the world to be.I came to the UK on my own, aged seven. I got on the aeroplane in St Kitts, got off at Birmingham airport, got on a bus to the city centre and met my mum. I wasn’t scared – I was excited to be back with my…

Surrender begins with the U2 singer and activist nearly dying and ends with him being born. Both episodes are floridly written, a kind of poetic grandiloquence that tempers a default long-windedness throughout these 40 chapters (the “songs” of the title).But you don’t come to the 500+-page memoir by a big-mouth vocalist of a squillion-selling stadium act for pithiness. If Paul Hewson was born with “an eccentric heart” (a medical condition, rather than a metaphysical state), he also has 130% of a civilian’s lung capacity…

via 20th Century Fox James Cameron’s Avatar has returned to the forefront of the public consciousness, with the 2009 smash hit currently playing in theaters after being re-released worldwide, where the sci-fi epic continues to extend its lead as the single highest-grossing film in history. Of course, it’s all part of the preamble to The Way of Water, which comes burdened with huge pressure and even greater expectations, to the extent that even the supremely confident Cameron has admitted we’ll just need to wait…

One of the most famed leaders of the century, and the receiver of more than 250 honours, including the Nobel Peace Prize, Mandela became a cult personality during his lifetime and is still held in deep respect around the world. In South Africa, he is often referred to as Madiba, and described as the "Father of the Nation". Born on 18 July 1918, he was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999 and was the country's first black head of state as well as the…
