The Doctor’s “companions” have numbered across the decades in the dozens. As we now have double-digit Doctors, it makes sense that he has them in all different shapes, sizes, and even races. This infographic breaks it down for us.

For several years, video game release-weekend sales have far surpassed movie ticket sales for the major blockbusters. Yes, even outstripping the geek-friendly Batman, Iron Man and Transformers franchises.

The folks over at G+ put together this awesome IG that shows just how badly Silicon Valley is thumping Hollywood on opening weekend.

It would have changed the course of many movies and some television shows thereafter. Harrison Ford has become a movie icon, while Magnum P.I. opened up the crime genre for the 80s with several owing their success to CBS’s high ratings. It’s impossible to imagine anyone other than Ford as Indiana Jones.

From Wikipedia:

During an intensive casting process, Lucas and Spielberg auditioned many actors, and finally cast then little-known actor Tom Selleck as Indiana Jones. Shortly afterward pre-production began in earnest on Raiders of the Lost Ark.However, CBS refused to release Selleck from his contractual commitment to Magnum, P.I. (which was gradually gaining momentum in the ratings), forcing him to turn down the role.One of CBS’s concerns was that shooting for Magnum P.I. conflicted with shooting for Raiders, both of which were to begin about the same time. However, Selleck was to say later in an interview that shooting for Magnum P.I. was delayed and did not actually begin until shooting for Raiders had concluded.

Maybe the Bible was wrong: The wages of sin are taxes, not death.

Especially if you live in Washington State. Sales tax rates for hard liquor work out to $26 a gallon and cancer sticks have $2 a pack slapped on them for the government coffers. No casinos, though, so no worries there.

For booze, you’ll want to live in Vermont. Cigarettes, South Carolina. (Really? 7 cents per pack? REALLY?) And gambling? Well, Nevada’s no surprise, but sometimes Pennsylvania’s a bit better.

Here’s the skinny on the taxes different states slap on your vices, from our friends at TurboTax.com.

Love Mr. T’s pants.

Yeah, yeah, it’s not “officially” summer yet.

But Hollywood doesn’t give a crap about when the calendar says it’s summer. The summer blockbuster season has begun. The first two movies on this infographic already have been released and they’ve been pretty blockbuster-y. And we’re pretty psyched about the rest on the list.

Have you ever read the “Warning” on DVDs? Try reading the warning on the Fight Club DVD. Tyler, you’re so clever.

There are few places on the planet more magical that the various worlds of Disney. Often, you get to see participation by visitors that is equally magical, as in the case of the kid in this video. He dances like a boss, then challenges Mickey to match him. Will he?

Celebrities are known for being inaccessible. It isn’t their fault sometimes – when you’re famous, it’s hard to go anywhere without someone wanting to grab a shot with you on your camera phone, eventually plastering your face all over Facebook.

Ben Stiller is the rare exception. His humility and understanding that people are people shines through here as he gets up close and personal to pose for a picture with a poor homeless man. Bless you, Ben. Bless you.

Anonymity is something that celebrities give away when they grow in fame and exposure. Who wouldn’t recognize Denzel Washington, Jessica Simpson, or Mel Gibson? They can try, as Gibson did below, but chances are strong that a fake mustache and glasses won’t keep an astute paparazzo from sniffing them out and snapping a shot.
