Although Harry Potter rocked my world for some time, there are a lot of other novels that are worth your time. I’ve made up a list for everyone who does like to read (because with this list, you can hold your own among book nerds) and who doesn’t like to read (because with this list, […]

Being tall has historically never been a good thing for a woman. We often expect them to be petite and cute and don’t really respect tall women as much – probably because most men would be intimidated at the prospect over being dwarfed by a woman. Luckily the times have changed and we can now […]

If you’ve ever heard of Lake Natron, you probably know that you shouldn’t be swimming in it or drinking from it. This Tanzanian lake is colored in bright red and orange and is honestly one of the most unique sights you’ll ever lay your eyes on, but it’s sadly also ridiculously dangerous. The lake can […]

You’d think we’ve found all the big boys on this planet already, but this Reticulated Python that was found will prove you wrong. In true Anaconda fashion it measures at a whopping 25 feet and 2 inches, and was adequately named Medusa.  It’s somehow owned by a haunted house in Kansas where its job is […]

Due to their insatiable appetite, shipworms have been eating wood for centuries and causing the destruction of ships, harbors, docks, and other wooden […]

It’s a magical moment, but there are things you can do to prepare for it and make sure it’s a kiss to remember. Here […]

Cairo is one of those cities that’s known for having a very, very rich history. Whether you’re talking about the pyramids or the dozen-or-so temples, it’s pretty much the most exciting city to be in if you’re even remotely into archeology. Even Indiana Jones has spent some time there. Although the Cairo scene was actually […]

When people talk about the Amazon forest, it’s usually not associated with stuff like ten ton whales. There used to be pretty good reasons for that, but we can pretty much discard most of those now.
