Cracked was an American humor magazine. Founded in 1958, Cracked proved to be the most durable of the many publications to be launched in the wake of Mad magazine.In print, Cracked conspicuously copied Mad's layouts and style, and even featured a simpleminded, wide-cheeked mascot, a janitor named Sylvester P. Smythe on its covers, in a manner similar to Mad's Alfred E. Neuman. Unlike Neuman, who appears primarily on covers, Smythe sometimes spoke and was frequently seen inside the magazine, interacting with parody subjects and other regular characters. A 1998 reader contest led to Smythe finally getting a full middle name: "Phooey." An article on Cracked.com, the website which adopted Cracked's name after the magazine ceased publication, joked that the magazine was "created as a knock-off of Mad magazine just over 50 years ago", and it "spent nearly half a century with a fan base primarily comprised of people who got to the store after Mad sold out."Cracked's publication frequency was reduced in the 1990s, and was erratic in the 2000s. In 2006, the magazine was revived with a new editorial formula that represented a significant departure from its prior Mad style. The new format was more akin to "lad" magazines like Maxim and FHM. The new formula, however, was unsuccessful and Cracked again canceled its print magazine in February 2007 after three issues. Later that year, the brand was carried over to a website, Cracked.com, now owned by Literally Media.
Hi, can anyone please offer a reason why the uptiles at the front of 2 ensuite walk in showers (below the shower screen) have cracked along the top corner edge? It's not just the grout that is cracked but the actual tiles themselves have cracked as well. The same thing has happened in 2 of the...

just looking for some advice as to what has gone wrong. Used a local plumber who came highly recommended, unfortunately the guy I normally use was mega busy and couldn’t fit me in for over 6 months and we couldn’t wait that long.

Hello,
I have a cracked ceramic floor tile (discontinued and no spares to replace) which because the underneath was no solid and a chair leg was put on it caused a large star-type crack across it in all directions. As a temporary fix, until I can find some, I thought I could pour some thin fluid...
Have posted for replacement porcelain floor tiles that have been discontinued without success, so wondering if it's possible to invisibly repair them? Floor was laid when house was built in 2007 on concrete rafts(?) but cracks didn't appear until around 3 years ago, which is puzzling - there...

Took this floor up last week, not even 6mm ply on the scene and she said the tiler was good :confused:.
But it had been down 20 years, few cracks and missing grout on the edges where there was a lack of adhesive.
Took all of 20 minutes to lift:)
