A Florida Sheriff Confirms the Belief That Carole Baskin’s Late Husband’s Will Was Forged

Even if you haven’t seen Tiger King on Netflix, you’ve heard enough about it to at least garner the basics. To recap, though, Carole Baskin owns a big cat rescue in Florida, and she is the sworn enemy of Oklahoman big cat breeder Joe Exotic.

In the documentary series, much was made about the disappearance of Baskin’s second husband, Don Lewis, from whom she inherited millions of dollars.

Exotic insinuated (and outright stated) that Baskin killed Don Lewis and perhaps fed him to her tigers or order to cash in, a claim that Don’s family didn’t discredit.

Sheriff Confirms Carole Baskin’s Missing Husband’s Will Was Forged -written by @lysshoekstra ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After watching ‘Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness’, everybody’s favorite person to hate—became Carol Baskin, aka enemy #1 if you’re asking Joe Exotic. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There were so many storylines to follow between Joe’s reality show, the polygamy, the zoo employee who lost her arm to a Tiger, a potential cult, aswell as the disappearance of #Carole Baskin’s husband, #DonLewis. Lewis mysteriously disappeared and then was declared legally dead in 2002, leaving Baskin with his 10 million dollar fortune. Since watching the show, many fans have theorized that she had something to do with her husband’s disappearance. However, investigators say, there’s been no evidence to prove it that theory. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now, a sheriff in Florida has revealed that officers believe the signature on Lewis' will was actually forged. Hillsborough County Sheriff, Chad Chronister clarifies, he believes the signature on the will was traced. “They had two experts deem it 100 percent a forgery. But, we knew that … we knew that before," Chronister tells Tampa’s WTSP-TV. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ An unnamed woman came forward and confessed to being forced to witness the signatures, though the statute of limitations has already expired in regards to the will, the sheriff says. "The will had already been executed at that point. But, it certainly cast another shadow of suspicion, by all means." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But Chronister says Baskin is not a suspect, and adds that “investigators have some great leads."

It turns out that law enforcement in the case also believes that, at the very least, Lewis’ will was forged.

During a June 2 interview, local Sheriff Chad Chronister made a statement that he believes the will is “100 percent a forgery.”

“We knew that before. The problem was the statute of limitations had already expired. The will had already been executed at that point.

A judge deemed it valid, so the civil side of it would be execution of the will, the disbursements of the funds is one thing.

But then yo have the criminal side of it, it’s unable to be prosecuted because of the statute of limitations.”

There are several people involved with the case, including Lewis’ friend Joseph Fritz and two different handwriting experts, who believe Lewis’ signature on his will is traced from his 1991 marriage record.

In addition, the notary and the power of attorney on the documents have no memory of authenticating them.

REPOST. With everyone doing the right thing and staying at home, many of you have watched the Netflix documentary #TigerKing. One facet of the documentary is correct, the disappearance of Don Lewis is still an active cold case. So, with all the attention surrounding it, I figured it was time to use the popularity of the show to see if anyone wanted to come forward with new leads. Share this post, share it on your stories and timelines and let’s see if we can’t solve this case together. If you have any new information, please call the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office at 813-247-8200 #tigerking #carolbaskin #donlewis #netflix #tiger #bigcatrescue #joeexotic #tigerkingnetflix

A post shared by Danny Boy O'Connor (@officialdannyboyoconnor) on

Baskin has maintained that she had nothing to do with the disappearance, calling the allegations “the most ludicrous of all lies,” and hasn’t made a statement about the possibly forged will.

Several months ago, Sheriff Chronister revealed the county was reopening Lewis’ case, and that he personally believes Don was murdered. He has also stated that the department has some “great leads” to work with going forward.

People Confess Their Silliest Misunderstandings on Twitter

Every adult can remember at least a handful of times when they realized they had been utterly wrong about something that most others consider common knowledge. There’s no shame in it – no one knows everything, and making mistakes is, of course, how we learn.

That said, it can be super embarrassing. The shame didn’t stop these 11 people from replying this Twitter thread with some doozies, though!

11. It was then her dad realized they should have had a chat first.

Disappointing your kiddos sucks!

10. This thought has set many people up to be disappointed.

Some kids, some not.

9. Honestly I’m surprised they ever stopped.

That kind of thing can last a lifetime with the right sibling in charge.

8. Bless this little readers heart.

Because you only see the word you don’t know how to say it.

7. I mean. He wasn’t too far off.

This is pretty cute, though.

6. This is funny but also sweet.

And oh-so innocent.

5. Kid’s brains are just delicious, aren’t they?

I can never wait to hear what my 3yo is going to say next.

4. So boys don’t have things to wash their bodies?

That actually explains a lot.

3. I think that was the premise of Pleasantville actually.

That should be a horror movie, honestly.

2. People from Missouri have accents?

Maybe, because I know exactly what he’s saying.

1. I used to think this, too!

Though there have been plenty of divas pre-Madonna, she does it quite well.

I’m not sure I’d be willing to admit some of these!

Would you fess up to something like this? If so, our comments are open!

Nurses Dish on the Things They Can’t Believe They’ve Had to Explain to Patients

Nursing is a thankless profession that is mostly filled by people who truly feel called to the job – why else, honestly, would you deal with the public day in and day out – and not only that, but deal with things that come out of the public day in and day out?

As with everyone who has the pleasure of interacting with “regular folk” as part of their job, there are some conversations you’ll just never forget.

Here are 16 times nurses stopped and thought “omg I can’t believe I have to explain this to an adult person.”

16. She could not have been serious.

Got a phonecall in the ER from a diabetic who said her sugar was reading “high” (that typically means over 400 or 500) and I told her she should come to the ER asap, and she asked “Should I drink some sweet tea until then?”

NO

15. That’s one of those moments you have no idea what to say.

Oh man, I had a lady set up an online appointment for vaccines and she signed up for literal every vaccine available online. Yellow fever, polio, Hep A/B, Japanese encephalitis, rabies, EVERYTHING.

I saw those standard travel vaccines (yellow fever, rabies) and when the lady came in, I asked where she was traveling. I wanted to make sure she would get all her vaccines in time and that her doctor was sending in prescriptions for malaria/polio prophylaxis if needed.

She responded with “I’m not traveling anywhere, I just wanted to get updated on everything before I lose my Medicaid”.

And then refused to get her flu shot because “that makes you sick”.

14. Those poor ladies.

Painkilling suppositories come in individual foil packets.

After my c-section, the nurse handed me one and said “Don’t forget to take the foil off.” I looked at her and went “… nooooooooo! Somebody did that?”.

She gave me this really tired look and nodded.

Ouch.

13. Laughing at her wondering specifically about her neck.

Was giving a grown patient IV Benadryl for a rash and itching on the upper body.

The IV was in the right arm so I started to give the medication into the right arm. The patient panicked when I said I was done. “What do you mean you’re done? You only put it in my right arm my left is itching too!”

I calmly explained that putting medication in the IV sends it to the whole body.

She exclaimed “you mean it even goes to my neck?” I said yes and she said wow.

12. These are the people who should definitely be wearing condoms.

I’m not a nurse but i was in the Navy and i had to explain to a guy that having sex in hot tubs does not prevent std’s. also i once had to explain to a group of sailors that sharing a pocket pussy is why they all had the same std.

11. You just can’t make some things compute.

Spent WAY too long having to explain to a celiac patient that white bread was still made out of wheat and that’s why she was still sick. Nutritionist had already been over it several times and then called me in to try to convince her.

10. It’s either starve or die, you choose.

I used to work on a cardiology unit and we often would get patients that had surgery either later in the day or be next day.

I was a nurse assistant and would constantly be arguing with patients because they think we are evil for not letting them eat. “I HAVEN’T EATEN IN 15 HOURS”

I’m like I’m sorry dude but either you don’t eat or this process will begin again because these doctors don’t want to possibly kill you.

9. Now he/she has seen too much.

Not a nurse but my wife is about to get her tubes tied.

She had to sign a document stating that she would be rendered infertile after the procedure.

We laughed and the doc straight said “I used to think it was funny too.”

8. I don’t even know how to handle this information.

Did labor and delivery for awhile. We typically inserted catheters after the epidural. A lot of women would ask how they could push the baby out if something was in that hole…had to explain to many ADULT women the urethra and vagina are, in fact, not the same hole.

Also had a couple where the husband fucked the wife’s stoma and it got a gnarly infection. Explaining that you should not ever put your dick directly into someone’s stoma was a hoowee of a conversation

7. Maybe he has a thing for the shock.

Had to explain to a patient, and his family, multiple times that although he does have a defibrillator now he still needs to take his heart medicine …. a real headache of a conversation

6. I blame his stupid family, really.

I’m a neuro nurse. I once had a patient who was going into surgery the next morning, meaning they couldn’t have anything to eat or drink after midnight.

Well at 4am I go in there to check on him and he’s drinking a cup of milk and eating cookies that his family had brought him. I asked him why he was eating because he had surgery in a few short hours and his reply was that he has a bowel movement every morning so he figured we would be okay to eat because it would be out of his system before surgery.

That’s not how this works grandpa!!! ugh surgery canceled.

5. Oh my goodness and these people were procreating.

Working at ob/gyn clinic.

Had to explain to a concerned husband that his pregnant wife will not strangle the fetus if she eats spaghetti.

That’s a completely different system of organs.

4. There’s something that’s hard to believe.

Not a nurse, but I work in healthcare.

I had to listen to a dialysis patient explain to me very seriously that he had gained 6 kilos of water weight in 2 days because he had “sat in the tub for too long” and had magically absorbed over 13 lbs of fluid.

That was not a fun conversation.

3. I mean. He/she tried.

Oh man, not a nurse but I work in pharmacy.

Had a guy come who wanted malaria tablets but wasn’t sure what area of the country he would be traveling in.

Rural he would need them but the cities he wouldn’t.

He said “what’s the worst that could happen?”

“You could get malaria.”

“Yeah, but how bad can that be?”

“Dead. The worst it can be is death.”

He left the shop anyway.

2. Come on, that had to be a prank.

I, a male nurse, had to explain to a 25 year old female what her period was. She came to the ED and was concerned she had cramping and vaginal bleeding monthly.

Thought for sure I was being pranked by co-workers.

Nope.

1. Did she think someone was going to come and do it for her?

Got a call from a discharged patient.

“So I’m wearing these depends…”

“…okay.”

“Do I need to change them everyday?”

“Uhh yeah… or when they’re soiled.”

“Okay and should I clean myself up after that?”

“Yes. Yes, please.”

We thought we were being punked.

I’m dying, y’all, but not a bit surprised.

If you’re a nurse (or work in a similar profession) please share your own stories!

Movie Fans Talk About the Villains and Evil Characters Made Them Turn Against the Hero

Sometimes you root for the bad guy in a movie.

I used to think I was maybe the only person who did this, but it looks like I’m in good company with a bunch of folks who occasionally get enamored with the villains in movies and forget about the good guys and gals.

Do you do this, too?

AskReddit users weighed in on the movie villains that made them forget all about the heroes.

1. Interesting…

“Rumpelstiltskin in the “Once Upon a Time” TV series.

Depending on your viewpoint, his plans failed because 1) In that universe, Good Guys Always Win™ or 2) suckage of writers.

He was smart, tricky, beautifully manipulative, had a solid backstory that justified almost all of his actions (except for a few bits due to reason #2), and was one of the few who saw through the massive BS built around the show and its characters and could plan around it, only to have his plans fall through at the last minute, usually because of a hand-of-God last minute random thing (again, reason #2).

He should’ve been able to get everything he wanted and live happily ever after; he certainly worked harder than anyone else in that show.”

2. Oh yeah…

“Shere Khan in the live action Disney remake.

He wants to murder Mowgli because he’s afraid Mowgli will burn the jungle down. Mowgli then burns the jungle down.”

3. Hook.

“Captain Hook in the movie Hook, particularly at the end when he tries to get the kid to stay instead of going home with Peter Pan.

Like, I get it, dudes a bad guy and he’s just trying to steal the kid away when he says, “Remember how your father was never there? Look at all the things I’ve done for you.”

I came from a very neglectful home, and in rewatching this movie I remember how I would have wanted to stay with Hook so bad as a kid. In fact, if we didn’t know Hook was a villain, he looks like a much better father figure than Peter Pan until that point.”

4. This might cause some debate.

“Top Gun, Ice Man.

He’s right, Maverick is dangerous.

As I’ve gotten older…the more Maverick looks like a villain.”

5. The witch.

“Wicked Witch of the West.

We hate her cause she looks a bit gothy. But ditzy Dorothy killed her sister and went on to meddle stuff that’s none of her business. I’d be annoyed too.”

6. A great movie.

“Roy Batty in Blade Runner.

Batty wanted to gain his freedom and lead the other Nexus-6 models to safety. Instead, his dwindling ranks were hunted like rats. Although the Nexus-6 Replicants had a pretty bad reputation, Batty never gave any clues that he meant harm to the human race.

There may have been blood on his hands, but Batty only went for those directly involved with the Replicants or that were pursuing him. At the end of the day, he was just looking for answers from his creator.”

7. Poor guy.

“King Kong.

Dude’s minding his own business, living on a tropical island, and men show up, capture, and enslave him.

Fuckers deserved everything they got.”

8. A different take.

“Dinosaurs in Jurrasic Park.

The villain of Jurassic Park isn’t the dinosaurs; they’re just nature doing what comes natural. The villains are the creators, who put desire for profit and accomplishment above others’ safety. (“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should” isn’t just a meme, it’s the message of the movie.)

By the way, I used to roll my eyes at the sequels because it was unrealistic that people would put a desire for profit and fun above the safety of other people and of their own family.

Recent events have made me change my mind. People would take their children to the park that killed a large percentage of those who go, saying they “refuse to live in fear” and “have a constitutional right.”

It turns out the cheesy dinosaur movies understood human nature better than I did.”

9. Give Benny a break.

“Benny from Rent

He offered all his friends, struggling bohemians in NYC, free rent in-exchange for cancelling Maureen’s protest.”

10. He’s a villain, no doubt.

“Q from Star Trek.

Not that I hated the heroes but you just gotta love Q.

And he certainly is a villain, he kills members of the Enterprise crew and tortures entire species.”

11. The evil one.

“Dracula.

In the 90s version with Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder.”

12. Gremlins.

“The evil Gremlin.

He knew how to run a gang and party. Gizmo was a frigging pussy!”

13. Never thought I’d see this.

“Principal Rooney.

Ferris Bueller is a dick.”

14. A great villain.

“Hans Gruber from Die Hard because Alan Rickman was hot (RIP) and because Hans was so much smarter and more sophisticated than any bad guy I’d ever seen.”

15. Definitely a victim.

“Frankenstein’s monster.

The poor guy was literally born yesterday when his college-dropout, god-complex father abandoned him. Everyone hated and feared him and he had to learn everything from basic survival to human speech to reading on his own.

He was, unlike the movies, a genius and decently handsome, minus the dead eyes and paste-y complexion. He was still like 8 feet tall, and his height and haunting gaze were apparently enough to terrify everyone who saw him into a murderous frenzy.

He hid under a family’s house, and listened to their interesting and enviable life stories. He got sick of listening to people’s happy lives while he hid in fear, and befriended the family’s blind grandfather.

And then, he was attacked by the family of the man whom he had been able to call a friend for only a short time, getting shot for trying to find a friend. Then he immediately met the nephew of his father, who threatened and mocked him.

He snapped, because he realized no one ever did anything but hate and hurt him, so why should he do anything different? He killed the nephew, and framed the nephew’s maid for the murder.

What does our hero, Frankenstein, do? He lets the maid get executed because he doesn’t want to face consequences. Yeah, some hero.

Now, the monster doesn’t take it farther, he just asks Frankenstein to give him a wife/friend/someone who loves him. He knew he might have happiness and was more concerned at that point with being left alone to have a family.

What does Frankenstein do, when he hears his monster will leave him alone and they can both be rid of the anger and fear he created by playing God in the first place? He gives up halfway through and destroys the monster’s half-made wife.

Frankenstein’s Monster goes apeshit, as could reasonably be expected, and killed Frankenstein’s friend and his wife as revenge, and then fled to the north pole and offed himself because life is cruel.

So yeah, not the best guy, but between the fake doctor who has more ego than spine and systematically let all his friends die, and the monster who didn’t choose to be born and wasn’t given a bit of kindness that didn’t stab him in the back later, I pick the big guy.

The Monster wasn’t a good guy, but at least his bad actions had a reason, besides “I don’t care about other people,” and “I’m afraid of owning up for my mistakes.”

Well, there you have it.

Now we want to hear from the readers out there.

In the comments, please tell us about movies where you ended up rooting for the evil characters.

We can’t wait to hear from you!

People’s Hilarious Confessions of Things They Believed for Way Too Long

It’s cute when a child pronounces something wrong, sings the wrong lyrics to a song, or makes funny assumptions about life based on their own limited knowledge.

It’s less adorable when it happens to an adult, but it is hilarious – and we’re allowed to laugh at grownups, so there’s that.

These 9 people are putting their embarrassing misunderstandings out into the world, so let’s take a look, shall we?

9. Kind of like a library I guess?

I have no idea what she’s talking about with the rest of it.

8. He straight-up admitted it took until he was 30.

Brave man, that one.

7. Well she got the lubricant part right.

This one just killed me.

6. I 100% pronounced it that way the first time I saw it in a book.

I was in middle school, though.

5. The wording is a bit confusing.

To a child, I mean.

4. I need to know at what age they learned the truth.

But he was kind of a villain.

3. Oh my goodness that poor dear.

Bless her little pea-pickin’ heart.

2. I can never un-see that now.

The name thing cracks me up though.

1. Like in Bedknobs and Broomsticks I guess.

That song about Portobello Road really isn’t appropriate for kids, right?


Some of these are understandable, but others…I’m not so sure!

Movies That Would Be Better With Unhappy Endings

Do you ever think about what some movies would be like if they didn’t have happy endings? Yeah they would!

Let’s see what AskReddit users had to say about movies they think would be better if they didn’t have a happy ending.

20. Boooooo!

“Breakfast at Tiffany’s

The ending of the book was that Paul lets her go. The point of the book was a critique on the author’s mother who would use people and run from her problems like Holly.

She spends most of the movie being charmingly shitty and it all works out. Boo.”

19. Be your own person.

“Grease!

Nobody needs to adopt a whole new persona for their “lover”. Be your own person dammit!”

18. Pissed off.

“How Dear John ends honestly pisses me off. Honestly the whole movie pisses me off. You fall in love over two weeks, you go away and she moves on, you’re heartbroken.

Come back and her new man is dying, so you sell your fathers coin collection to pay for him to get better, he dies and then you get back together???

So stupid lol.”

17. Different from the book.

“I can’t believe that nobody have mentioned Cujo.

Holy shit the ending of the book left me so shaken up that I needed a good 5 minutes to let it sink in.

While the film had the ‘everything-will-be-ok-freezeframe’ ending.”

16. Frozen 2.

“This may seem dumb but in Frozen 2 I hated the ending, the entire movies felt like it was lost and then right at the end when stakes were finally there and something could’ve been lost, nope Elsa rides in on her water horse and saves the day.

People like to say ‘It’s just a kids movie, relax.’ whenever i bring this up but plenty of kids movies and Tv shows have dealt with this kind of stuff and many are still loved to this day.

Imagine how cool an ending would be where after the kingdom was destroyed we get a small montage of the citizens of Arendell and the lost forest working together to rebuild the kingdom, showing that now they can finally be united as one instead of that stupid ending where Elsa leaves again.”

15. I never knew that…

“Rambo’s original ending was great where he ends up killing himself because of PTSD and not being able to readjust to society.

But it didn’t test well with the focus groups so they changed it to be more positive, and then obviously it spawned sequels which turned the series a bit more campy and lost the original message a bit.

But I think if they’d have kept the original ending it might not have done so well in the theaters, but would be looked back on as a bit more of a poignant story.”

14. Oh, Seymour!

“The original ending of Little Shop of Horrors should’ve stayed. Seymour wasn’t a good person, he’s a piece of shit.

When you fuel your own selfish desires like this, it can transform into a huge problem, and everyone suffered because of it.

Honestly, Audrey II should’ve won. Seymour doesn’t deserve a happy ending

But I must say in the original ending, I really hate the part where the old people are relaxing and then get attacked by Audrey II, it makes it a bit hard to watch. But the rest of the ending is just pure epic and terrifying in a good way

I’m referring to the 1980 film adaptation which is pretty good until the end in my opinion. The original ending of this version had Audrey II winning like every other time, but they changed it.

Otherwise, I fucking love this movie and its characters, even Seymour. I like Seymour as a character, but I just don’t think he’s some sympathetic hero who should get the happy ending.

So, yes, I’ve realized Seymour is a little more morally grey than I initially thought. It’s a little more complicated than “He’s a piece of shit”, but all the same, when you do the sort of screwed up things Seymour did, consequences can and will happen.”

13. Cookie cutter.

“The Devil wears Prada.

In the book, Andy does not give the clothes to her co-worker Emily. She sells them in a second-hand store to pay rent. And most of all, Miranda doesn’t send an “oh. Andy is great you should hire her” letter to the magazine.

They give a “cookie cutter” ending…”

12. Might have saved it.

“Passengers.

Chris Pratt dying and leaving Jennifer Lawrence with the decision of being alone or waking up another person from hyper-sleep would have saved that movie.”

11. Pretty Woman was dark!

“Pretty Woman.

In the original ending, he just dumps her back in the street. But test audiences didn’t like it, so they tweaked the movie and completely changed the ending. Made it a love story instead of what it was originally written as.

Gives the whole movie a different meaning. The original was much more gritty. Julia Roberts was a drug addict in the original.”

10. War of the Worlds.

“War of the Worlds.

No way the son makes it back alive.

I remember seeing it in theaters and enjoying myself. Then that scene happens and I instantly got turned off from the movie.”

9. Oldie, but a goodie.

“An old one, but My Fair Lady.

It’s based on the play Pygmalion by Bernard Shaw, and in that version Eliza realizes Henry treats her terribly and she deserves kindness, so she leaves him.

The musical/movie version is the complete opposite of that and annoys me more than it should.”

8. A bunch of BS.

“HANCOCK!!!!

That movie was sooooooo good until that bullshit love story was slapped in there!!”

7. Not a great ending.

“Legend of Sleepy Hollow with Johnny Depp.

The last 20 minutes of the film tie up all the loose ends, but they don’t match the atmosphere of the rest of the film.”

6. Have you seen this one?

“Butterfly Effect.

The cliffhanger ending and bittersweet ending are better than the happy ending, as it’s alternative ending movie.

It makes more sense with the overall plot.”

5. Leave it out.

“Wonder Woman.

The lesson near the end is that the god of war doesn’t exist and it’s just men who are fighting without supernatural encouragement. Then the real god of war arrives and that lesson gets ignored.

It would have been better movie if they left out the god of war and Wonder Woman couldn’t do anything to stop man’s violent nature.”

4. An interesting take.

“The Hobbit, but not in the way you think.

The big issue with those movies is that they focus too much on the RING, when in reality, it wasn’t super dangerous at that point. The whole point was that Gandalf DOESNT suspect anything yet.

It should’ve just been a magic ring until the very last scene, where Bilbo stands at his porch, and all of a sudden starts frantically looking for his ring, only to give it…the look. bam. Cut to black.

None of this full circle crap, cut out old Bilbo and Frodo, just end the happy fairy tale with the revelation that something is wrong…”

3. The third installment.

“Back to the Future III.

Should’ve ended with Doc leaving a hidden message in the past for Marty (or delivering him another letter!) thanking him for his friendship and letting him know that he’s content living out his days with Clara.

I hate that flying fucking steampunk train and Doc’s Willy Wonka-ass clothes and that creepy child.

It still would’ve been a happy ending, I guess. Just a bittersweet one rather than an all-out goof.”

2. Fairy tale ending.

“I can’t believe no one’s mentioned 28 days later. The official release that was In theaters/DVDs has Jim, Hannah, & Selena in some fairytale ass cottage in the mountains knitting a HELO quilt & they’re seen by a fighter jet.

In the original ending, Hannah & Selena take Jim to an empty hospital & try to save him but he dies on the table. Selena tells Hannah that they have to keep moving & the last shot is of them still wearing the dresses, covered in blood, carrying guns, & presumably walking towards their death. It was changed to the happy ending because test audiences didn’t like how sad & hopeless the original felt.”

1. Okay…

“Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

Charlie and Grandpa Joe blatantly ignored Wonka’s request that no one try the fuzzy lifting drink. The only reason Charlie was able to relinquish the gobstopper was because he was the only one to evade catastrophe.

He, moreso Grandpa Joe, were no more deserving for the empire than the other kids.”

Some pretty interesting movies to think about with different endings…

Now we want to hear from you! Yeah, you!

In the comments, please tell us what movie you’d like to see with a totally different ending.

Images That Book Lovers Might Not Like Too Much

If you’re not someone who loves books and loves to read, you may be fine with what you’re about to see. It may not bother you one bit to see books in states such as these, I don’t know.

What I do know, as someone who drinks books like water, is that every last one of these sparked an inexplicable, white-hot rage in my soul.

12. You SAY “use anything for a bookmark, don’t bend the page!”

Do you really still mean “anything,” though?

the downside to checking out books from the public library from WTF

11. You would think the people who make books would understand why this is awful.

A series of books should all be the same size! Duh!

Three books in the same series produced by the same company from CrappyDesign

10. This could be a genius marketing ploy.

Or just a regular old annoying thing that happens.

The perfect book for a price sticker that won’t come off from mildlyinfuriating

9. The actual bookmark is right there!

It’s RIGHT THERE.

Folding a page in a library book when it has a built-in bookmark. from mildlyinfuriating

8. Maybe it’s just meant to be a collectors thing?

But still, that’s egregious.

This Harry Potter box set doesn’t fit all of the books if any of them have actually been read or taken out from mildlyinfuriating

7. And it’s probably fine and you can infer what’s happened…

but you just can’t let it go, can you.

About finishing the book only to discover that 10 pages are missing from Wellthatsucks

6. Because “no phones in class.”

He showed you, I guess. *tears*

What a kid at my school did to a library book… from trashy

5. My heart just hurts for these kiddos.

And the rest of us, but mostly for them.

Polish catholic priest and kids burning religious symbols and fantasy literature. They burned stuff such as Harry Potter books, Lord of the Rings, buddhist figurines. from trashy

4. It’s all about the aesthetic, not the books.

I guarantee she hasn’t read them.

3. Think of the TREES, people!

We need them to print more books!

Books that have this much paper before Chapter 1 even starts from mildlyinfuriating

2. It is nice to know what a book is about before you buy it.

Although maybe this is some kind of fun mystery buying experience?

Every book was blocked like this… from mildlyinfuriating

1. I guarantee you the package said “do not bend,” too.

Newman is your mailman.

Dammit USPS… Go ahead and stuff a hardcover book in my mailbox! from pics

There is something wrong with people, y’all. Make it stop.

Images That Will Frustrate Book Lovers Everywhere

People enjoy a good book now and then – on vacation, when they’re waiting in line at the DMV – but other people live for books. They prefer them to Netflix, and if they’ve got a spare 10 minutes, they’d rather read than scroll through social media.

They’re a quiet but passionate lot, and that description extends to the treatment of books and other odd things that surround a book lovers life.

If you’re one of us, you know what I mean – and you’ll quickly realize that there is so much wrong with these 14 pictures.

14. FFS, America.

It’s called an editor. Does no one do their jobs anymore?

This Hardcopy ELA book is complete with useless hyperlinks and and unwatchable videos. Go American Education System from CrappyDesign

13. That can’t be an accident, right?

It’s some kind of reverse marketing ploy?

The only book in the store that’s wrapped in plastic is this one.. from mildlyinfuriating

12. When there’s a legit monster on your flight.

Why would you never want anyone to enjoy that book again?

Got bumped to first class (super sweet) only to witness this lady TEARING off the pages of the book she’s reading. from mildlyinfuriating

11. I suppose it’s job security.

And the jury is out on the “proper” way to shelve books.

10. I guess some people just want everyone to be as dumb as they are.

This makes me so, so angry.

Burned down the "take a book, leave a book" from trashy

9. First of all, congrats on all of the new books.

Those boxes also look rather large to house a single book.

Ordered 27 books from Amazon on a single order. Got 27 boxes with 1 book each delivered. from mildlyinfuriating

8. No, that’s NOT what books are for.

That’s not how any of this works.

This hotel doesn’t allow you to use books for their intended purpose. from mildlyinfuriating

7. If this doesn’t make you profoundly sad, we are not the same.

But also, why on earth doesn’t everyone use the easy peel price stickers? Argh!

This price sticker that ruined the cover of this 1908 book from mildlyinfuriating

6. This actually is so ironic, Alanis.

Or maybe it was the layout person’s fault.

I don’t think I should read this deign chapter in my book. from CrappyDesign

5. This was the idea of a sociopath.

Seriously just wtf is going on here.

Instead of putting in a bookshelf, this coffee shop cut the spines of the books and glued them to a shelf… from mildlyinfuriating

4. I mean it’s your book, you can do what you want.

But this makes me want to cry.

3. It definitely wasn’t a librarian who put in those stickers.

No one who reads would ruin the last page of a book.

This is the last page of a book in my schools library. This isn’t the only time it happened either. from mildlyinfuriating

2. There’s always gotta be one person.

I wonder if they open the packaging on everything ahead of time.

This store sells books wrapped in packaging so readers can pick a book from just a sentence. Somebody opened all of them. from mildlyinfuriating

1. I mean, it’s still better than turning down the page.

It looks far past the smelling stage, too.

Looking through an old cookery book I just found and there’s a squashed frog as a bookmark :/ from WTF

I’m dying inside a little bit more with every entry! Argh!

Which one of these was the hardest to look at for you? I can’t pick!

People Who Found Really, Really Old Food While Cleaning Out Their Fridge

Let me say that I am not judging any of these people. I have found ancient food in my fridge, my freezer, and in one unforgettable moment, a potato that had fallen behind a cabinet and was no longer recognizable (except for the stench).

That is how I know, with 100% certainty, that some finds just have to be shared – and I think these 16 items definitely fall into that category.

16. The face I just made is hard to describe.

Nothing about this is okay.

15. Twenty-five years is a long time.

I’m not sure that’s still going to puff up.

14. You know this is old.

Because no one keeps that anymore.

13. These are a mere 10 years old.

They are corndogs, though – barely food – so they should be fine.

12. I did this the other day.

Cheese was a bit congealed but nobody died.

11. That’s what you call vintage.

I should know; it’s older than I am.

10. That’s…sweet? I guess?

As long as you don’t eat the jelly.

9. That can has seen some stuff.

Which makes sense, because who on earth would eat it?

8. Yeah, that’s probably a bad sign.

Too bad. Throwing out alcohol is tragic.

7. I guess that poor turkey got the last laugh…

From turkey heaven, I suppose, but still.

6. That sounds like it was a fun day.

If you’re into gross stuff.

5. 1982 was a good year for pineapple cheese spread.

Maybe the only year.

4. What is “coffee whitener?” Creamer?

If it’s like shelf-stable creamer here I’m pretty sure it lasts forever.

3. I’m guessing she was not much of a cook.

I wonder if she’s improved or was still insulted.

2. This seems like it would be okay.

Isn’t that the whole point of drying herbs?

1. I feel like that bottle might be worth something.

Not the flat and worthless cola, but the bottle.

I am as stunned as I am amused – great combination.

What’s the oldest thing you’ve ever unearthed from a freezer? Tell us about it in the comments!
