This weekend marked the 45th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. In honor of that giant leap for mankind, here are some photos of the landing and the brave men who executed it. I like this batch because it’s really personal, almost like the Apollo 11 guys had Instagram. Blast-off! Apollo 11 took off […]
For thousands of people in the United States alone, falling asleep and staying asleep is a huge problem. You wouldn’t think that something natural could be so challenging, but the National Institutes of Health estimates that “roughly 30 percent of the general population complains of sleep disruption, and approximately 10 percent have associated symptoms of daytime functional impairment consistent with the […]
Ever say a word over and over again and start thinking about how weird it is… and then how weird all things are? Something similar happens to me when I think about some of the normal stuff I do everyday. How do these things even happen? How did we all decide that this is acceptable […]

When you think about life on Earth, it’s natural to think of trees as the dominant life form on the planet. Trees are everywhere, giving us rich oxygen and something pleasant to look at in otherwise lifeless places. The first modern tree appeared nearly 360 million years ago, and as strange as it sounds, it wasn’t the […]
Do not adjust your computer monitors, the beach you are about to look it is actually as red as it appears to be. Aptly named Red Seabeach, this Liaoning, China landscape is covered in Sueda. The strangely-hued plant is a species of grass that turns from green to red in the fall months. You have […]
There are many places on this Earth that humans just aren’t meant to be in. They are nightmarish glimpses of hell and horror that should be tucked away and stay that way. But, if you’re feeling brave (or insane) it would be easy to visit any of these places on this list. Although, they just […]
Being deceptive in order to get your way isn’t nice, but unfortunately, this is an imperfect world. That tactic will totally work, and it helped giant panda Ai Hin at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding get a bunch of extra treats. Not only did her lies get her better food, but she […]
