In 1957, the East German Trabant car was first introduced to the public. It was lightweight and made mostly of plastic. The leaders of East Germany envisioned it as communism’s answer to the VW Bug. Sadly, it was a colossal failure in terms of performance and safety. Still, it managed to survive the Cold War […]
The final frontier on Earth is our vast and somewhat unexplored ocean’s depths. It’s a fairly well-established fact that we know more about the surfaces of the moon and Mars than we do about our oceans’ floors. While there are a number of reasons for this, it doesn’t take away from the amazing things that […]
I’ve seen enough of the Discovery Channel to basically make me a zoologist. (See, I even know the official terms!) That’s why when I see any “crazy” animals my friends show me on their cell phone, I say thank you, but “been there, seen that.” But then one day I saw the following animals and my jaw […]
Consider this: Greenlighting a TV show takes many steps and invovles many people. First, there are the people who come up with the premise and create the characters and the pilot script. Then there are the studio folk who agree to produce it, and the networks who agree to distribute it. That’s a lot of […]
It seems like the accepted approach to letting strangers know you’re offended by their dirty windshields is to emblazon them with choice four-letter words. While I’m totally into that, what Scott Wade does to his windows when they’re dirty is so much better (and certainly way less malicious). The artist, who grew up along a […]
Despite our modern technology and interconnectivity, America is a still a nation full of surprises and rich regional mysteries. Pick a random exit on the interstate pretty much anywhere and you’re sure to discover something memorable. If you happen to be traveling through Michigan, you may want to stop in the town of Paulding to […]
The internet is good for three things: shopping for things you absolutely do not need, getting into fights with cousins you haven’t seen in 30 years, and losing your will to live. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DCBP_ATF’); }); Giphy And in case you haven’t been able to do much of the third one lately, I’m here to […]
What’s your worst fear? For me, it’s hard to pick just one. There are so many (perhaps too many). One of the top trepidations is my fear of being buried alive. That is just a little too terrifying to handle. Think about it. If you were buried six feet under and woke up in your […]

From sniffing out cancer to alerting their […]
Public statues have long been staples of human civilization. They represent our greatest accomplishments and tell the world that we were here and that we did something. However, in recent years, statues have taken a turn from classically beautiful to downright bizarre. Whether these 20 pieces fall into the category of “art” is up for […]
