Finally, cats have began their uprising!

Well, not really.

While it is true that Clapham Common Underground station has had all its advertising spaces taken over by cat pictures, it is (unfortunately) the work of the Citizen Advertising Takeover Service (yes, CATS), a group of decidedly human activists.

The group, who are attempting to make people "think differently about the world and realise they have the power to change it", raised an astonishing £23,000 pounds to totally transform the station and, more importantly, make me realise that Underground advertising is bloody expensive.

Check out CATham Common below:

If you don't know the name of Ned Kelly, you really should. For a guy, to distinguish himself as one of the most notorious criminals, on an island that started off as a penal colony British criminals, that really takes some stones.

Known as the Iron Outlaw, Kelly was a horse thief, bank robber, rebel, anti-corruption crusader, folk hero and, oh yes, a legend.

(But let's throw in a disclaimer. It's not that we condone violence and agree with what Ned Kelly did, because he was a criminal and a murderer. But we do sympathize with his motivations and applaud the style in which he conducted his life, and the sheer badassery that he was capable of in his criminal pursuits. End of disclaimer)

You can't deny that Neil deGrasse Tyson is a little bit of a scientific badass, I mean he's got memes, he's got a PhD in Astrophysics and he doesn't pull any punches when it comes to talking about science. But he's also so incredibly charismatic and relatable and his Twitter machine is both educational and hilarious.

So it's no surprise that he's going to come across a movie or two that he's going to have some issue with. Here's some films that he's had some *ahem, reservations about.

14 - Cape Buffalo (200 deaths per year)

The world is a dangerous place. And while your fellow man is still a far bigger threat to your life than any animal on this list, it's always good to know which particular species is most likely to cause you to shuffle off this mortal coil.

Note: I excluded mosquitos due to their ridiculous proliferation but they most certainly are our biggest 'threat' ( over 755,000 deaths per year).

AnthroCon

One for the 'it's not harming anyone, so let them do what they want' folder, AnthroCon (and its other similar counterparts) is a gathering of people who like to dress up as anthropomorphic animals and just sort of hang out. 'Furries', as they are known, insist it isn't the hypersexual obsession that many people seem to think it is and instead is a way for people to truly be themselves.

It just turns out that 'themselves' is a giant bunny called Toodles.

Whatever floats ya boat.

One of the major things that makes the relationship between Canada and the US so special is that we have one of the longest undisputed borders in the world. Other than some markers along the way, and checkpoints at the major roads, there's not much security (at least, for now... I'm sure he'll want to build a wall on top too). Other than some accidental invasions via mattress or mis-guided GPS', our border is pretty amicable.

But we soon forget that once upon a time, the US-Canada border was like a crazy DMZ, with frequent invasions, skirmishes and all out attempts at war, and that we weren't always the best of buds.

Here's some of the more bizarre incidents at the border from our long history as neighbours.

Who says you need tons of locations and sets to make a compelling movie? I don't. Sometimes, picking the right location and making location a character and a narrative device in of itself, can elevate a movie from meh to incredibly compelling, and speaks to what heights a talented director can reach with just the right location and story.

Take a look at the list below of some of the best single location movies and let us know if we missed any.
