In the 80’s, it was almost mandatory for hair metal bands to release at least one power ballad in each of their records. Naturally, any list of the best power ballads ever is going to be completely subjective, but these are the ones that stand out the most for me. The only rule was that…
They are unavoidable. They are persistent. They are simply undesired. Yet, they are part of our own body system – our various body secretions. From the saliva of our mouths to the sweat on our skin, we have been aware of these secretions occurring constantly our whole lives. Amazingly, as gross as it may sound,…
Nothing is more subjective than art. Is it a masterpiece, or is it an eyesore? Here’s a list of 10 great sculptures that have become emblems of their environments. Most are big pieces in public places, rather than roped-off works in admission-only sculpture gardens. If you haven’t seen them in person, your opinion of them…
“Should I give him my number?” “Why hasn’t he called yet?” “I can’t be in a relationship because I have commitment issues.” “I like you but I don’t love you… yet!” “I am ready to get down on my knees and take this relationship forward.” “….She said yes!” We have heard the stories. We have…

A lot of people treat Adolf Hitler as if he was a military genius who was only done in by his own visions of unattainable excess. This is incorrect. He was actually a complete idiot who was done in by his own visions of unattainable excess. Why? Well: 10. He Cancelled the Worlds’ First Assault…

Usually when we think of “art”, things like sculptures or paintings come to mind; in other words, stuff you can hang on the wall or keep in your atrium to be the envy of your neighborhood’s upper crust (everyone is lower-upper class, right? That’s what TV tells me). But there is a new form that…
The most creative I have ever gotten with gummies is when I pretend that the worms are actually snakes, or I bite off pieces of the bears and pretend they’re screaming in agony. I tend to eat them more than I create with them, is what I’m saying. But, as it turns out, there are…

Plenty of animals fly; this is no surprise to anyone who actually comes from Earth. However, there are plenty of “flying” animals that are really gliding versions of other animals. You don’t expect your average rodent to come drifting from the skies, let alone some of the other creatures in this list. No, we typically…
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…
