Prison is by no means easy. You spend every day of your life surrounded by four walls, along with hundreds of men who are a bad day away from seeing how many sharpened toothbrushes your torso could contain.

The intention of this list isn’t to celebrate this disturbing market, but to [...]

There’s no doubt that the big, lovable ape we know as “Bigfoot” is controversial, serving as fodder for both serious study and great hilarity, with people generally divided as to whether it actually exists or not. Mainstream science generally comes down on the side of the skeptics, maintaining that without a body, there is no [...]

It all started with a simple petition, stating that the United States government needed to invest in a Death Star. The primary goal was to have an armed defense station in space, which is certainly laudable enough.

As time has worn on, the general populace has grown savvy to such outlandish claims, but not everyone.

We believe it’s up to individual nations, regions and groups of people to decide what exactly constitutes “fashion” and no one answer could ever be the “correct” one. However, that being said, you at least have [...]
