It’s hard to imagine someone dying of food poisoning in 2019, but it happens more than you think – and a bacteria called Bacillus cereus is often the culprit. The 20-year-old Belgian student likely wasn’t aware of Bacillus cereus, or that it could be lurking in the dish of 5-day-old pasta he ate after leaving it...

Could you explain the opposite of your job? It’s harder than you think – I would be an eraser or an…unteller of stories? I don’t like the sound of that. Good thing these 15 people are way funnier than me! #15. This sounds fun. “I encourage people to fight and forceably drag them INTO bars.”...

Getting along with your co-workers can often prove to be a challenge, and that goes double when we work with people who are very different from ourselves – different experiences, different upbringings, different backgrounds, different faiths, different whatever.

Balloons. Poppers. Cupcakes. Fireworks that start giant forest fires. These are just a few of the ways people have come up with to announce what sort of genitals will be on their new baby when it comes into the world.

If you’ve ever caught an episode of Family Feud – and if you own a television in America, I don’t see how you could have avoided it – then there’s a 100% chance you’ve seen a contestant totally freeze up and force out a stunningly bad answer. And the 15 bad answers below have to...

Anyone and everyone who isn’t a Patriots fan has accepted the fact that Tom Brady is, in fact, a cheater. He was fined by the league and made to sit out some games, but still people defend him. Apparently being good at football makes you incapable of lying, in some people’s minds. But not in...

There’s little debate anymore that reading is good for young minds in myriad ways, from an education standpoint, to bonding with parents, to teaching social skills and even encouraging creativity. Parents are always looking for new and innovative ways to get more books – and more time to read – in front of their kids,...

That the royal ladies of history are made of at least as much mettle as their male counterparts shouldn’t come as a surprise, but did you know that Queen Victoria once saved her husband Prince Albert’s life (and changed the course of history in the process)? It’s true! In 1841, the couple had been married...

I don’t actually remember what I was doing when I was 11 – playing sports with my friends, reading a lot, doing okay in school and spending time with my family, I’d guess – but there’s no doubt that I was never as focused and confident as Jonah Larson. Jonah began life in Ethiopia, abandoned...

Netlix’s new documentary “Conversations With a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes” is taking the streaming world by storm in the way only a show about one of America’s most infamous serial killers can.
