Asylum salutes the men and women who found themselves at the end of their ropes, or without a rope, and beat the odds.

That plate of Oreos in your break room looks awfully tempting. But be careful, they could be filled with toothpaste. That's just one of the office pranks featured in Asylum's look at 20 evil tricks.

A celebrities' life is an endless stream of red carpet events and photo ops -- but every once in awhile, a regular person in the background steals the spotlight.

All these girls wanted was a snapshot to commemorate this trip. They got so much more, thanks to the guy who ruined the picture. Photobombers -- usually intoxicated -- love to make your photos memorable. The problem is, you'll won't know you've been hit until it's too late.
