Top 10 Irritating '90s Cartoon Characters!!!

2007-12-13T09:44:00.001-08:00

Top off your bowl of Fruity Pebbles and tune in as we proudly present our list of the top 10 irritating ‘90s cartoon characters.

Max Goof

Goof Troop
Remember when producers of the Itchy & Scratchy Show attempted to liven up their program by introducing Poochie, a skateboard-riding beagle with sunglasses and a backwards hat? That’s exactly what Disney did back in 1992 when they created Goof Troop, an animated show that followed the offbeat adventures of Goofy’s son, Max. However, rather than being a hipper version of his old man, the newest member of the Goofy clan was little more than a thinly disguised marketing ploy created by a bunch of out-of-touch middle-aged suits. Much like Poochie, Max was also universally reviled, forcing Disney to put their ill-advised creation to sleep after just 10 episodes.

SpongeBob SquarePants

SpongeBob SquarePants
What can you say about a character whose audience seems to consist exclusively of prepubescent children and 35-year-old gay men? Maybe they see something we don’t, because every time we tune in we find SpongeBob’s earnest and well-meaning attitude to be more irritating than a lawn dart lodged in our left eye. As if his overbearing optimism weren’t bad enough, this glowing sea sponge always tries far too hard, which inevitably creates problems not only for himself, but for everyone around him too.

Lisa Simpson

The Simpsons
No one likes a know-it-all, which is why we’ve always despised Lisa. The glaring weak link in an otherwise brilliant program, Lisa is a boring bookworm whose favorite activities include attending school and reading Non-Threatening Boys magazine. As if she weren’t enough of an irritating ‘90s cartoon character already, this 8-year-old overachiever is also a raging feminist and environmental crusader whose judgmental attitude always prevents others from enjoying themselves. If only she learned to kick back and enjoy a few dozen cans of Duff beer like Homer, we’re sure we’d enjoy her more.

Captain Planet

Captain Planet and the Planeteers
There’s nothing more annoying than a cartoon character with zero sense of humor, which is why we always rushed to turn the channel whenever we saw Captain Planet on our screen. This holier-than-thou eco avenger is an ancient entity who has been protecting the environment and delivering sleep-inducing lectures about the evils of smog for multiple centuries. Maybe it’s just his feathery green mullet, but we could never take this guy and his rants about recycling newsprint seriously.

Pikachu

Pokemon
Arguably the most annoying anime character ever created, Pikachu was a miniature yellow creature who was so lame he could have had his ass kicked by Hello Kitty. Still, we’ve always wondered what a Pikachu might taste like…

Bonkers D. Bobcat

Bonkers
By 1993, America was clamoring for a sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit? What they got instead was Bonkers, a cheap knockoff that featured a similarly washed-up movie star with a penchant for slapstick comedy and detective work. Had the principal character been more endearing, it could have worked, but Bonkers D. Bobcat was little more than a pale imitation of Roger whose tired antics were more annoying than absurd. Disney finally realized their mistake two years later and put Bonkers and his costars out of their collective misery by dropping a giant anvil on the series.

Iago

Aladdin
Although science has yet to confirm our suspicions, we’re convinced that the only sound more annoying than fingernails on a chalkboard is the ungodly screech of Gilbert Gottfried’s voice; that’s just one of the reasons we labeled Iago one of the most irritating ‘90s cartoon characters. He was also a villainous scarlet macaw who performed the evil bidding of his master Jafar. We also hated his seemingly endless sarcastic rants that had all the bite of a toothless poodle. Hey, if we wanted to hear an angry diatribe, we’d just listen to our girlfriends.

Angelica Charlotte Pickles

Rugrats
We’ve never trusted children. They’re frequently spoiled and ill-tempered, and Angelica Pickles is certainly no exception. This bratty little 3 year old is a hellion with pigtails who keeps her neglectful parents under her tiny little thumb. If Angelica were our little girl, we would have given her an extended time-out that would have lasted until her 21st birthday.

Dilbert

Dilbert
Just because a character is the focal point of an amusing comic strip, doesn’t mean that he has the charisma to star in his very own half-hour cartoon show. That was the case with Dilbert, our No. 7 irritating ‘90s cartoon character. He was an excruciatingly boring electrical engineer whose life was as dull as his red- and black-striped tie. Luckily for us, producers came to their senses and gave this office drone the pink slip after just 10 episodes.

Rocksteady

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles had no shortage of aggravating characters, so choosing just one irritating ‘90s cartoon character from this show isn’t easy. However, Rocksteady wins hands down because of his sheer stupidity and ineptitude. A 6’8”, 540-poung rhinoceros with the brain of a walnut, Rocksteady was so dense that he made Beavis and Butthead look like Nobel laureates.

Top 10 American Outlaws!!!!

2007-12-12T06:28:00.000-08:00

Black Bart

Born: 1829 Died: Unknown
Wanted by: Wells Fargo detectives; lawmen in Oregon and California.

What the outlaw Black Bart (born Charles Bolles) lacked in big profits and violence, he more than made up for in style and good manners. For this reason, he is among the first outlaws ever to be known as ”the gentleman bandit.”

Bart was responsible for a string of stagecoach robberies, mostly in California and Oregon, and became a somewhat beloved figure for the poems he often left behind.

Bart was caught and sentenced to six years at San Quentin. Released after four, Bart took a room in a San Francisco boarding house. A month later, his room was found vacated, and neither he nor his body were ever seen again. Following this, a handful of unfounded rumors persisted that he was still alive, and at least one Wells Fargo stagecoach was robbed by a believed copycat of Black Bart.

Breaking the law, breaking the law... : Bart may be the only outlaw whose police report states that, “[he] was extremely proper and polite in behavior.”

Bonnie and Clyde

Born: Bonnie Parker, 1910; Clyde Barrow, 1909 Died: 1934
Wanted by: The FBI; lawmen in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Missouri.

Bonnie and Clyde captured the imagination of an American public deep in the clutches of the Depression, which saw them as a romantic “Robin Hood” pair sticking it to the U.S. government. Bonnie’s savvy PR work -- largely in the form of poems sent to newspapers -- contributed greatly to this view.

While virtually no one has ever come forward to point the finger at Bonnie for being anything more than along for the ride, Clyde is believed to have been responsible for as many as 10 murders, along with dozens of robberies.

Today, the pair is legendary. Celebrated in films, songs and festivals, their names are synonymous with a strange amalgam of romantic intensity à la Romeo and Juliet, criminal violence and the supposed thrill of life on the run -- all of it romanticized way past any grain of truth.

Breaking the law, breaking the law... : Clyde claimed to have been abused while serving time in Texas, and he swore revenge on the Texas Department of Corrections. In early 1934, along with Bonnie and others, he got it when he masterminded the “Eastham Breakout,” which freed a number of prisoners and humiliated the Department. Unfortunately, one freed prisoner was Henry Methvin -- the man who would rat out Bonnie and Clyde to authorities.

Billy the Kid

Born: 1859 Died: 1881
Wanted by: U.S. Marshals; lawmen in New Mexico.

Born Henry McCarty, the legend of Billy the Kid is vastly divorced from reality, and in greater measure than perhaps any other figure of the Old West.

Billy’s greatest skill was not that of a quick-draw gunslinger, nor was he a particularly efficient thief. At most, he was good at escaping his jail cell. His last escape was also his most dramatic and deadly: Just weeks before he was set to hang for his involvement in the so-called Lincoln County Cattle War, Billy killed two guards and went on the run before being gunned down in New Mexico.

The man responsible for launching Billy’s legend was the very man responsible for killing him, famed Old West lawman Pat Garrett, whose post-mortem biography on Billy turned the virtually unknown criminal into a colorful outlaw.

Today, Billy’s legend is enormous, buoyed by colorful if fabricated anecdotes -- such as the claim that he killed one man for every year of his life. His tombstone has been stolen so many times that it is now protected by steel. He is the celebrated subject of a wealth of books, movies and television shows, and at least two men have come forward claiming to be Billy the Kid.

Breaking the law, breaking the law... : The life of Henry McCarty may not remotely live up to the life of “Billy the Kid,” but McCarty was indeed involved in the deaths of as many as nine men.

John Dillinger

Born: 1903 Died: 1934
Wanted by: The FBI; the U.S. Department of Justice; lawmen in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin.

In life, Dillinger was emblematic of the outlaw Robin Hood, thumbing his nose at every level of law enforcement, namely the established Federal Bureau of Investigation and its chief, J. Edgar Hoover. His sensationalized exploits included escapes from so-called “escape-proof” jails, cinematic flair during hold-ups, a willingness to flaunt his freedom by having his photo taken with admirers, and the remarkable amount of money he and his associates are said to have robbed from banks (into the hundreds of thousands of dollars).

In death, John Dilinger has barely gotten any more peace than Elvis. Shot dead in an FBI ambush outside the Biograph Theater in Chicago, doubts about the true identity of the dead body began almost immediately and have persisted to this day, despite overwhelming evidence proving it was indeed Dillinger.

Today, he is remembered by an endless list of admirers, including the organizers of “John Dillinger Day,” “John Dillinger Died for You Society," “The Dillinger Times Club,” and more.

Breaking the law, breaking the law... : Of Dillinger’s numerous exploits, near the top was his prison escape using a piece of wood shaped like a pistol and his subsequent getaway in the local sheriff’s new car.

Jesse James

Born: 1847 Died: 1882
Wanted by: The Pinkerton National Detective Agency; lawmen in Kentucky, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Texas, Kansas, West Virginia, and Alabama.

Beginning around 1866, the most celebrated outlaw in American history enjoyed an incredibly extensive string of robberies and hold-ups. His crimes stretched across a number of U.S. states, and continued until his death in 1882. For 16 years, despite massive manhunts and even the participation of Allan Pinkerton himself, the founder of the National Detective Agency, James was never once caught or arrested.

His folk-hero status began early, with the help of a newspaper sympathetic to the defeated Confederate cause. He gained tremendous public sympathy when the Pinkertons launched a botched raid on the James family farm that killed Jesse’s half-brother and lopped off his mother’s arm.

James was killed by one of his gang members as he stood on a chair to dust a picture. Why, after 16 years, this uncatchable outlaw let his guard down to tidy up his hideout may never be known, but the legend of James James lives on through museums, festivals, films, televisions shows, and countless songs. At least two men have claimed to be the elderly James, and authorities even disinterred his body to confirm through DNA that the man in his grave was in fact Jesse James.

Breaking the law, breaking the law... : Jesse almost never robbed passengers when holding up a train, a decision that contributed to his Robin Hood image.

Sam Bass

Born: 1851 Died: 1878
Wanted by: The Pinkerton National Detective Agency; Texas Rangers.

Bass was a failed cattle driver and gold miner before becoming an outlaw. After a string of successful robberies, a former gang member sold him out and he was pursued, then gunned down, by the Texas Rangers.

Bass became a folk hero not only because he didn't kill anyone, but because of the public disdain for the railroads he robbed, which many felt were enjoying huge profits from exorbitant rates. To this day, the town of Rosston, Texas, celebrates Sam Bass Day every July.

Breaking the law, breaking the law... : In 1877, Bass and five others robbed a Union Pacific train, coming away with $60,000 in freshly minted gold.

John Wesley Hardin

Born: 1853 Died: 1895
Wanted by: Texas Rangers; lawmen in Kansas, Florida and Alabama.

Hardin is one of the more enigmatic outlaws in history. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he was not a thief; rather, Hardin was a killer -- and a very misunderstood one, if you believe Hardin. He saw himself as a gentleman and a pillar of society, and in his autobiography, he claimed only to have killed in self-defense.

While serving a 25-year prisson sentence, Hardin worked as the prison’s Sunday school superintendent and vigorously studied law. On release from prison, he was admitted to the Texas bar.

Breaking the law, breaking the law... : While an exact figure is unknown, Hardin was probably the era’s most prolific killer, gunning down as many as 30 people

Bill Doolin

Born: 1858 Died: 1896
Wanted by: U.S. Marshals; lawmen in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Kansas.

A member of the Dalton Gang and founder of the famed Wild Bunch (not to be confused with Butch Cassidy’s gang of the same name), Doolin was a prolific robber of trains and stagecoaches. He enjoyed a Robin Hood-esque reputation, which explains how he and his gang managed to elude the law on so many occasions.

The deaths of three U.S. Marshals during shoot-outs with Doolin’s gang made him one of the most wanted men in the nation. Marshals stopped at nothing to track him down, eventually shooting him dead with a single shotgun blast.

Breaking the law, breaking the law... : Doolin and his gang enjoyed their biggest take when they robbed the Santa Fe train station of $6,000 in 1894.

Kid Curry

Born: 1867 Died: 1904
Wanted by: The Pinkerton National Detective Agency; gun-for-hire Tom Horn; lawmen in Wyoming, Utah, Tennessee, New Mexico, and Montana.

Kid Curry (aka Harvey Logan) lived and worked as a rancher until he shot a man to death in a a saloon brawl in 1894. Curry rode with two of the era’s most infamous outlaw groups: Black Jack’s Gang and Butch Cassidy’s Wild Bunch. In between the two he ran his own gang, and altogether participated in dozens of robberies and shoot-outs, all of which contributed to his reputation as one of the Old West’s most dangerous men.

Breaking the law, breaking the law... : Kid Curry was notoriously ruthless, responsible for the shooting deaths of at least 11 men -- nine of them lawmen.

Butch Cassidy

Born: 1866 Died: circa 1908
Wanted by: The Pinkerton National Detective Agency; lawmen in Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nevada, Montana, and Argentina.

Butch Cassidy (born Robert LeRoy Parker) was one of the era’s most infamous outlaws as well as one of the most successful bank and train robbers.

Contributing to his legend is the contemporary view that Cassidy and the Wild Bunch were non-violent, which is patently false. However, Cassidy’s legend is enhanced by the uncertainty regarding his death; presumably he died in South America, although his body was never found. Not surprisingly, more than a couple less-than-credible people came forward claiming to be Cassidy.

Breaking the law, breaking the law... : Not including a bank heist in Argentina, Cassidy (and his gang) robbed trains and banks for well in excess of $130,000 over the course of his career.

Top Ten Assassins in Movies!!!

2007-12-05T11:10:00.000-08:00

Call them hitmen. Call them assassins. Call them whatever you want. If you happen to see them get the hell out of there because someone is going to get whacked.
1.James Spader (2 days in the Valley)
The loser hitman. The hitman that backstabs his own partner, always is annoyed and usually gets on everybodies bad side. The only thing this guy has on his favor is his hot partner Helga, played by Charlize Theron

2.Pierce Brosnan (The Matador)
Julian Noble is the hitman who hates being called a hitman, can´t tell the difference between sports, gets a little paranoid from time to time and seems to be in a mid life crisis. Aside from all of this , he is your typical hitman, I mean person that facilitates fatalities as a career.

3.Anne Parillaud (Le Femme Nikita)
From a teenage delinquent and heroin addict to a femme fatale. This is one gal you dont wan´t to piss off! This is the original film, that was later remade into Point of No Return.

4.Alec Baldwin (The Juror)
The Teacher. A psycotic assasin that takes pleasure in his everyday job. The only problem is that he sometimes has troubles in letting his targets go(emotionally).

5.Chow Yun- Fat (The Replacement Killers)
John Lee. He is one of the best hitmen money can buy. But he is no ordinary killer, he actually has a conscience, but don´t get him wrong, he will do anything to finish what he started.

6. John Cusack (Grosse Pointe Blank)
The hitman with emotional problems. Martin Blank is maybe the only hitman who when asked what he does, will actually tell you he is professional killer

7.Tom Cruise (Collateral)
I guess Vincent is a common name within hitmen (checkout out hitman #2). A smooth, charismatic, likeable person, if you take out the fact that he kills people without any hesitation.

8.Bruce Willis (The Jackal)
Meet the highest paid hitman in the history of movies. 140 million for just one hit. Damn!!! Im in the wrong business. This cold blooded assasin has it all, and he will do anything to finish the job.

9.Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta (Pulp Fiction)
Ahhhhhhhh, our favorite two hitmen that spend all their spare time talking about religion and arguing on what is the best burger in town. Meet Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield. Ezequiel 25:17.

10.Jean Reno (The Professional )

Leon, a quite, tough invdividual who always gets the job done and never misses his targets. All this guy does during the movie is kill people and from time to time drink a glass of milk( even hitmen know it does a body good). He is definitely the deadliest of the hitmen.

Top 10 Beasts and Dragons: How Reality Made Myth!!

2007-12-03T07:36:00.000-08:00

Dragons are awe-inspiring patchwork creatures found in the myths and legends of cultures all around the world. In Europe, they are nightmarish fire-spewing reptiles, large and lizard-like, with the forked tongue of a snake and wings like a bat. In the legends, they are reviled and feared because they liked to imprison maidens, destroy villages and hoard over mountains of gold.

1.Chinese Alligator

Chinese alligators may have been one of the inspirations for the Asian dragon. In Chinese mythology, dragons were closely associated with water: They were the guardians of life-giving rain, but in times of fury were also capable of unleashing punishing floods. Chinese alligators can grow to a length of about 6 feet, and can often be found floating just below the surface of the water, where they stealthily await their prey. The Chinese alligator is one of the most endangered reptiles in the world.

2.Frilled Dragon

The frilled dragon is a small lizard found in the forest and woodlands of northern Australia. Like its name suggests, an expandable frill surrounds the dragon's head and neck, which it can open like an umbrella when frightened. If this isn't enough to scare off an enemy, the frilled dragon will rear up on its hind legs and run away-- but rather than fleeing with its tail tucked between its legs, the dragon can simply leave it behind to distract a predator.

3.Bearded Dragon

The bearded dragon is also native to woodlands of Australia. It has numerous spiky appendages protruding from the skin around its head, and can inflate a pouch under its chin to make itself look more menacing. The bearded dragon can change shades of color, from light to dark, to reflect certain emotional states or to help regulate its body temperature. Like the frilled dragon, it can also rear up on its hind legs and run away.

4.Python

Pythons are among the largest snakes in the world, and the reticulated python of India may have been one of the inspirations behind dragon lore in ancient times. Pythons are constrictor snakes, which means they squeeze to death the birds and small mammals that they feed on. While traveling through India, the Roman naturalist, Pliny, claimed to have seen a dragon so large it could strangle an elephant. Pliny was most likely describing the reticulated python, a snake that can grow to a length of more than 30 feet. In Pliny's tale, the dragon also dies because it is crushed by the defeated elephant.

5.Flying Dragon

The flying dragon of Southeast Asia are small lizards that can glide between trees using wing-like folds of skin. They can grow up to 7 inches and they eat mainly ants and other small insects. Their wings are supported by five to seven ribs that extend from their bodies, and they can glide for distances of up to 30 feet. The wings are often brightly colored and patterned with stripes and dots, but they can fold their wings and blend into their surroundings when they want to remain inconspicuous.

6 .Sea Dragon

The sea dragon is a close relative of the sea horse. It can be found on the cool rocky reefs of southern and western Australia. While technically a fish, the sea dragon does not swim so much as sway as it imitates the movement of the seaweed and seagrass among which it makes its home. The sea dragon possesses leaflike fins and appendages that are nearly transparent, and a tube-like mouth that it uses to suction in the larval fishes and small shrimp-like crustaceans that it feeds on.

7.Surprise Entry: Comets

Dragons were often depicted as winged serpents with long tails, and they were often viewed as harbingers of doom or fortune. The name of the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl literally means "feathered serpent." To people living in ancient times, a comet streaking through the skies with an icy tail millions of miles long would have closely resembled such a creature. This image is of comet Hyakutake. If comets were the inspiration for some dragons, it could help explain why dragons are ubiquitous in the myths and legends of so many different cultures in all corners of the world.

8.Pterosaurs

Of all the creatures that ever lived, pterosaurs probably most closely resemble the dragons of European legend. Reptilian and featherless, pterosaurs flew on wings of hide that were supported by a single long and boney finger. The smallest pterosaur was the size of a sparrow, while Quetzalcoatlus -- named after the Aztec god -- had a wingspan of more than 40 feet, making it the largest flying creature ever. Quetzalcoatlus is shown here.

9.Megalania Prisca

Although stockier and shorter than the Komodo, megalania prisca was a much larger animal. It grew to lengths of up to 30 feet and weighed nearly 1,000 pounds, making it the largest lizard the world has ever seen. Megalania roamed the Australian wilderness during the last Ice Age, and could ambush creatures twice its size and 10 times its own weight, killing them with its curved serrated teeth and large claws. It is very appropriate then that in Latin, its names means "ancient giant butcher."

10.Komodo Dragons

The Komodo dragons of Indonesia are the world's largest living lizards. They can grow to 10 feet long and can run as fast as a dog for short stretches. Komodos hunt live prey and are capable of ambushing creatures much larger than themselves. They have a thickly muscled tail and a strong bite. Even a slight graze can be lethal and cause severe infection because of the septic bacteria that live in their saliva. Komodo dragons would have been a great candidate for the inspiration behind the mythical dragons in Europe -- except that Europeans didn't discover them until 1910.

The 10 Craziest Competitive Sports (You Never Heard Of)

2007-11-30T09:30:00.000-08:00

Humans have been taking part in sporting events for thousands of years, and now we’ve got ESPN to broadcast them 24 hours a day! However, you aren’t going to see these gems on TV even if you’re watching at 2am. We’ve got a little of everything here from Camel Wrestling to Bog Snorkelling and Cheese Rolling to Ladder Racing. And if anyone knows of other insane sports to add please drop a comment below. Now, on with the madness!

Ladder Racing:

Screw the ladder truck. I want THESE guys as firemen!

4WD Sand Dune Climbing:

Ok. That’s just not possible.

Chess Boxing

I’ve got an idea… let’s take something extremely cerebral like chess and combine it
with skull cracking boxing!

Wife Carrying

Hey, I’m 6′1″ and my wife is 4′ 10″. We’ve actually got a shot at this one!

Cheese Rolling

It’s not what you think! Drunken idiots throwing themselves down a hill! I can hear the bones crunching now

Camel Wrestling

All right. I guess if you live in the desert with nothing better to do…

CycloCross

hope these guys are wearing a cup. That metal bar is way too close to the family jewels to be doing these things on bikes

Tow-in Surfing

I’ve seen surfing before, but never on waves so big you need a jet ski to pull you up to
speed for. These guys are insane, and the guy in this video got caught in a real live Tsunami

Free Soloing

People partaking of this sport are truly insane. As proof Dan Osman, the guy in this video, later lost his life doing this.

Bog Snorkelling

Even the dog didn’t want to swim in this crap.

2007-11-28T07:14:00.000-08:00

The list of the most frightening movie charachters
1. Jason Voorhees
Jason Voorhees, the villain from Friday the 13th slasher films, is most well-know for his signature hockey mask and machete.The trademark hockey mask did not appear until Friday the 13th Part 3.

Eventually he chases his son to a hedge maze where he gets lost and freezes to death.
3.Norman Bates
Poor Norman, most famously portrayed Anthony Perkins in the 1960 film Psycho, had mommy issues. As little boy, he is dominated by his mother, and has to do what she told him.

When Fritz accidentely drops the glass jar with the label “good brain” on it on the floor, he decides to take the glass jar with the label “bad brain”. Using some kind of mysterious ray that Dr. Frankenstein discovered, the body is brought to life during a thunderstorm, and the monster of Frankenstein (Boris Karloff) is born.
8. Count Dracula

World's Strangest Vehicles!!!!

2007-11-18T07:07:00.000-08:00

Some are ugly, some are more than ugly, crossing into hideous, some are better looking and possibly better designed than most modern cars - you get all ends of the spectrum here. Since our last article in this series, we've received many tips about the cars we would not know (or recognize) otherwise. There is no end to people's creativity when it comes to one of most treasured perks of civilization - the automobile.

5 Deadly Animals That Just Might Save Your Life.

2007-11-14T04:24:00.000-08:00

Sure, you know these five creatures as stinging, biting merchants of death. But isn’t it time we put aside our differences and embrace the positive?

1. Scorpions: Leading the Battle Against Brain Cancer

It Could Kill You: For the most part, scorpions use their toxins to capture prey, ward off competitors during mating season, and defend themselves against larger predators. Unfortunately, humans count as larger predators. A sting by some species can leave you with a number of potentially deadly conditions, including heart and lung failure.

But It Just Might Cure You: Medical researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) have discovered a new use for scorpion venom – in cancer medication. Each year, some 9,000 Americans are diagnosed with malignant glioma, a form of brain cancer that kills about half its victims within a year of diagnosis.

Glioma cells work a lot like cockroach muscle cells. And while that fact is pretty disgusting, it also got UAB researchers thinking about the giant Israeli scorpion, whose venom is harmless to humans but deadly to its cockroach prey. Doctors found that when they injected a drug derived from the venom of giant Israeli scorpions into cancer-infected human brain , the poison destroyed the glioma cells and left surrounding, healthy cells alone. The treatment is still in the early stages of development, but researchers remain optimistic.

2. Cone Shell Snails: Little Creatures Tackling Big

Pain

It Could Kill You: Thanks to their unique colors and intricate patterns, cone shells look like they’d make great beach souvenirs. But watch your fingers; they’re actually home to one of the world’s deadliest creatures. Cone shell snails come equipped with an extendable “arm” – complete with a sharp, venomous tooth – that they use to immobilize and kill prey. And while the venom certainly helps the slow-moving hunters from going hungry, it can also paralyze, or even kill, victims. The good news: Death by cone shell is completely painless.

But It Just Might Cure You: Cone shell venom, called conotoxin, has incredible potential as a painkiller, with one added bonus: Unlike many current anesthetics, conotoxin isn’t addictive. In 2005, Ireland-based Elan Pharmaceuticals became the first company to market a drug made from the venom. Called Prialt, the drug is pumped into the fluid around a patient’s spine to relieve chronic pain and is believed to be up to 1,000 times more powerful than morphine. Meanwhile, at the University of Melbourne, a research team headed by Professor Bruce Livett is currently developing another conotoxin-based painkiller called ACV1, which was first tested in the summer of 2005. Unlike Prialt, however, ACV1 doesn’t affect a patient’s bloodpresure and can be injected under the skin, making it a lot less intimidating. Plus, ACV1 is believed to be as much as 10,000 times stronger than morphine.

3. Poison Dart Frogs: The Heart-Healthy Choice

It Could Kill You: You know an animal is bad news when its sweat was once considered a state-of-the-art military technology. Meet the poison dart frog, which secretes a highly dangerous neurotoxin, called batrachotoxin, through its pores. In fact, various Latin American tribes used to collect the stuff (carefully) to poison the tips of their arrows for hunting and warfare. Interestingly, however, the frogs don’t produce their own toxin. They get it from eating insects that most likely picked up the poison from the plants they consume. The same frogs, if raised in a laboratory rather than the rain forest, aren’t poisonous at all.

But It Just Might Cure You: Before batrachotoxin stops your heart, its speeds it up. Consequently, medical experts believe it might be possible to tweak elements of the frog’s toxin to bring patients out of cardiac arrest and potentially save lives. And because it also deadens nerve endings, batrachotoxin has potential as an ingredient in anesthetics. Studies into other uses of the toxin are still in the early stages, but the frog’s medical benefits bolster the argument for preserving the rainforest. Most scientists believe we’ve only just begun to grasp the pharma possibilities of some of the world’s rarest and deadliest creatures.

4. Vipers: Lowering Blood Pressure Since 1981

It Could Kill You: Most vipers are scary enough as it is, but jararaca vipers are venomous to boot. But what’s truly fascinating is the unique way their venom works. Unlike a traditional toxin, viper venom functions by preventing the blood from clotting, meaning the snakes actually kill their victims by causing them to bleed to death.

But It Just Might Cure You: Lucky for us, slow-clotting blood isn’t always a bad thing. Researchers have found that small doses of viper venom can prevent arteries from hardening, thus stopping the kinds of blood clots that commonly occur in cardiac patients. In fact jararaca viper venom (or at least a synthesized version of it) is a key ingredient in most of today’s ACE inhibitors. Introduced in 1981, ACE inhibitors work by slowing down the body’s angiotenzin enzumy ACE). When left untreated, the enzyme can produce a peptide that causes muscle constriction around blood vessels. That kind of constriction can set off a chain reaction whereby a person’s blood vessels narrow and his or her blood pressure shoots through the roof, leading to greater risk of heart attack and other ailments. Because the ACE inhibitors can stop this domino effect, they’re frequently used to treat millions of men and women with high blood pressure.

5. Gila Monster: Attacking Type 2 Diabetes

It Could Kill You: One of only two species of venomous lizards, the Gila monster is native to southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Unlike other deadly critters, Gila monsters don’t inject venom directly into their victims. Instead, poison oozes from the lizard’s teeth into the open wounds of its prey, usually while the Gila monster is chewing. Because of this, human fatalities from Gila monster bites are rare, but a bite can cause intense pain, nausea, swelling, fatigue, dizziness, and chills – none of which is particularly fun.

But It Just Might Cure You: In addition to all those nasty side effects, Gila monster venom stimulates insulin production and slows down glucose production, which is great news for diabetics. Byetta, a drug manufactured by Amylin Pharmaceuticals and Eli Lilly & Company to treat Type 2 diabetes, uses a manufactured form of Gila monster venom as its main ingredient. Approved by the FDA in April of 2005, Byetta is injected before meals to help their bodies produce the right amount of insulin at the right time –the best part being that it doesn’t cause the moodswings often associated with traditional insulin regimens.

Zengchong, Guizhou Province, SouthWest China.

Hidden behind dizzying mountain precipices and far removed from any semblance of modern civilization, Zengchong is a citadel of Dong Minority culture as it has been for over three centuries. Consisting of no more than 100 slate-roofed dwellings on a heart-shaped islet cradled by ribbon-like terraces sculpted out of the surrounding hillsides, the village is arguably one of China’s most beautiful.
