20 Things from Your Childhood That You Can’t Eat Again
Taste, like your other senses, can recall moments of joy (or, in the case of creamed corn, horror). Things like Fudge Rounds, Capri Suns, and Natural Light beer bring me back to different periods in my life, and they all bring a smile to my face (yes, even the watery beer!). Sadly, the 20 items...
If a Nuclear Bomb Drops, This Piece of Science Might Save Your Life
Consider this: even though the US (and other countries like Russia and Pakistan) have access to weapons that max out at 1.2 megatons, they can also be scaled back to as little as .3 kilotons in order to be used as “tactical” nukes. That’s right. If a bomb less than 10 kilotons is dropped on a...

Man Crafts Hats for the Adorable Toad That Hangs out on His Porch
There’s something specifically summer-y about walking out onto your porch in the early morning or evening to find a little toad sitting there like a greeting committee.

And People Say Feminists Aren’t Funny — Here Are 20 Great Posts From Tumblr
Feminists have gotten a bad rap lately (or maybe always) for being a group of no-fun man haters who just want to set the status quo on fire and then cackle like witches while the world burns. Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating. A little. Even so, these 20 women prove, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that...
The (Lack of an) Oxford Comma Just Decided a Court Case in Maine
