If you know anything about the Middle Ages, medieval warfare, or just life during that time in general, then the fact that they came up with some truly insane weapons probably won’t surprise you.

Relationships can be really hard to navigate, and that goes double for people who struggle to read a room, another person, or even their own reactions and feelings. For a million reasons, it can be hard to realize when someone else isn’t really into you at all, so if you’re wondering that about someone right...

If you have similar curiosities, here are 15 professionals on some dumb reasons couples come in for counseling. 15. It’s the secret to...

Listen, the recent months have been so far from the status quo that I honestly believed nothing could surprise me anymore. Like…whatever this year wants to throw at me, fine – I’ll just shrug and go about my business. I’m honestly not sure I can look the other way with this mustard-flavored beer, though, because,...

There are plenty of things your parents told you when you were little about eating food – mostly that you should eat vegetables because they would make you grow up big and strong or that candy would rot your teeth – and even though most of those adages turned out to be ways to control...

It’s a reality for most of these days that, if we want to spend time in public around other human beings, we’re wearing a mask or other face covering. That’s going to become even more common and imperative as we enter the winter months and are less able to spend time outdoors, so I’m sure...

History is chock-full of amazing people living lives you wouldn’t believe, and that’s only for the tiny, tiny percentage of humans we actually know something about. So whenever a “secret diary” is uncovered and we have another chance to peer into the past, I am here for it – and I didn’t know it until...

Halloween, though, is an up-and-coming holiday that’s getting tons more love than she used to – it’s fall, the weather is nice, the...

Here’s a tale about the founding of America that they don’t (but should) teach you in high school – beer (or lack thereof) played a role in the choice to make Plymouth Rock the first landing place for English settlers in the New World. First, let me dispel the notion that the proper Separatists were...

I mean, it’s there, you don’t really have to take care of it, if you’re between the pimples and chin hairs seasons of your life, so what’s to consider? Now that you are thinking about it,...

Secrets are rarely – if ever – kept forever. If you’ve got one, you’d better prepare for the day it comes out, because the chances are very high that’s going to happen eventually. These 16 people have some pretty gross secrets, so when they’re out in the open, I’m betting at least a few people...

It’s times like these that the imaginary worlds we love are more important than ever. They’re still intact, unchanged and unbroken, there for us to escape into whenever we’d like. That said, it can also be fun to imagine how our favorite characters would be if they were living in our bizarro timeline – which...
