Weirdest Characters in 'Star Wars Legends' Canon

Greatest Bisexual Superheroes
In recent years, there have been tons of gay and lesbian superheroes coming out of the closet, but bisexual superheroes seem to be less common.

Growing up in the 90s, Grunge Music was inescapable. The likes of Kurt Cobain elevated what was essentially an underground movement into a mainstay of the rock genre.

Strangest Erotic Kindle eBooks (That Sell Well)
Part of the joy of looking up erotic Kindle eBooks is to see how strange everything gets the further into the pit you descend. Sure, erotica has always been a strange genre, but, thanks to the self-publishing boom Amazon invigorated with its Kindle line, a lot of authors have been able to dump their unfiltered thoughts out into the void to be experienced.
