 Hey baby, if I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me?   Strange things can happen if you go in the water, particularly if you’re a bikini-clad girl in horror and sci-fi movies. If the piranhas… er, piranha don’t get you, the giant octopi… um, octopusses will. Above and below we have images glorifying one of filmdom's most beloved creatures—the slimy aquatic horror. These monsters typically either tear you to ribbons or, sometimes, impregnate you with their mutant progeny. But horndogs from the depths are notoriously inscrutable, which means it’s tough to discern at first glance whether they intend to rend you limb from limb, or simply take you back to their lair, put on a Marvin Gaye record, and give you some seriously deep dicking. Our advice—when in doubt, kick him in the ink sac. You can always apologize later if you need to.

The headlines that mattered yesteryear.
1941—Williams Bats .406
Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox finishes the Major League Baseball season with a batting average of .406. He is the last player to bat .400 or better in a season. 1964—Warren Commission Issues Report
The Warren Commission, which had been convened to examine the circumstances of John F. Kennedy's assassination, releases its final report, which concludes that Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, killed Kennedy. Today, up to 81% of Americans are troubled by the official account of the assassination. 1934—Queen Mary Launched
The RMS Queen Mary, three-and-a-half years in the making, launches from Clydebank, Scotland. The steamship enters passenger service in May 1936 and sails the North Atlantic Ocean until 1967. Today she is a museum and tourist attraction anchored in Long Beach, U.S.A. 1983—Nuclear Holocaust Averted
Soviet military officer Stanislav Petrov, whose job involves detection of enemy missiles, is warned by Soviet computers that the United States has launched a nuclear missile at Russia. Petrov deviates from procedure, and, instead of informing superiors, decides the detection is a glitch. When the computer warns of four more inbound missiles he decides, under much greater pressure this time, that the detections are also false. Soviet doctrine at the time dictates an immediate and full retaliatory strike, so Petrov's decision to leave his superiors out of the loop very possibly prevents humanity's obliteration. Petrov's actions remain a secret until 1988, but ultimately he is honored at the United Nations.
