    Universal Studios Orlando has a new character in one of its theme parks with a very particular set of skills. Guy Diamond, a troll from the “Trolls” animated movie, has a well-defined bare bottom that not only farts at guests, but fires off glitter when it does. Guy Diamond recently joined trolls Branch and Poppy, who have been doing meet-and-greets at the theme park for some time now, Attractions Magazine reported.

    Branch and Poppy, for the record, are fully clothed. Inside the Magic said the troll trio does a dance for the guests. Then, after cutting loose, Guy Diamond releases a sparkly shart, just as he does in the film.

    Every December in St. John's, Newfoundland, people parade the streets wearing creepy masks, fake horse heads and their underwear on the outside.
    The spectacle is all part of the Mummers Festival, which celebrates a once-banned, centuries-old tradition in the province called mummering.

    Mummering originated in England and Ireland, and the earliest record of it in Newfoundland dates to 1819, according to the Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage project. During Christmas season, people would disguise their identities using a mishmash of household items and travel door to door to neighbors' homes. Neighbors would invite them in for impromptu parties with food and drinks, all while attempting to identify the masked visitors. Once an identity was determined, the mask came off.

    Before they doggedly shuffled, moaned and munched their way through countless breakfasts of brains to take up permanent residence in the hive mind of pop culture, zombies were originally animated in the minds of long-suffering slaves on the island of Hispaniola in what's now Haiti, according to an interesting history over at The Atlantic.

    It was believed that slaves who sought to escape their bondage through suicide would actually find themselves trapped in their rotting corpse, forever cursed to haunt those they left behind. Over the centuries, and particularly in the decades since George Romero's movies helped make them mainstream, zombies have evolved into the ravenous, mindless monsters that continue to devour our brains today via a wide array of screens.
