These are the greatest speeches ever spoken; a collection of messages from some of the greatest and most notable orators in history. 10. Socrates “Apology” The Day: 399 [...]

Extreme has (luckily) lost most of its buzz-word status. It’s mostly back to meaning things on the fringe, way out near the edges, where they blow our minds with their extremeness, rather than simply having 3 times the corn syrup and colors nature never intended. That being said, for every type of substance, there is [...]

Overall, scientists in movies have been given a bad rap and they are invariably depicted as insane and power hungry. The audience has often laughed at the science used in the plots but some of these ideas predicted future scientific developments. Truth is always stranger than fiction. Many films tap into our fears and our [...]

Ethology is the term used for the study of animal behavior. Strange animal behaviors can be genetically determined or learned behaviors and I have included some of both. Either way, whether learned or instinctive, these behaviors don’t change the fact that some animal behavior is just… strange. Here is my top 10: 10. Naked Mole [...]

Halloween is a time for celebration, candy, and ghostly superstition. The day has long been thought of a time when the dead come alive and watch over the land. These spirits [...]
