Aristotle was one of the greatest thinkers of all time. He even wrote works–Politics, Poetics and Metaphysics–that are still taught today. He wrote on a wide variety of sciences, including cosmology, physics, biology and chemistry. He developed the concept of empirical reality, in which theories are tested based on the evidence of our senses. He […]
Bodies can do some really amazing things. If you think about it too long, it can seem so crazy that you can stand, walk, think, and get through a day in one of these bags of bones. That’s what makes human biology so incredible. There are reactions going on in our bodies every second, even […]
You don’t hear about many people passing away from rabies in the U.S. but that’s because most Americans know the warning signs. But amazingly, more than 160 people die each day from the disease worldwide. Typically, the viral infection is spread from one wild animal to another by bites or scratches. Animals suffering from rabies […]
http://twitter.com/#!/Mugsy4Fly/status/527618419714457601 Obviously a made-up mental disorder is the logical result of anxiety over made up science. This is reminiscent of the anxiety disorder liberals were suffering when they couldn’t accept that Al Gore had lost the election. That may have been the point of no return for many on the left’s sanity. Now crazy is the […]
Let’s face it — puppies may be the greatest thing about life. It’s difficult to deny how amazing they make us feel. (After all, there are studies that prove interacting with puppies can lower your blood pressure and improve your overall health.) But did you know what puppies looked like before they were all cuddly […]
According to one study conducted by Plymouth University researchers, 80 percent of marine animals that become entangled in plastic debris are either injured or killed. The two main culprits are plastic shopping bags and six-pack rings. “An estimated one million sea birds and 100,000 sea mammals and turtles become entrapped in plastic or ingest it […]

Not to stereotype, but let’s be honest, there are a lot of crazy videos that come out of Eastern Europe. Granted, I’m sure an equal number of crazy videos are created in America and Western Europe. However, they don’t often get as much media traction as the ones from Russia and other former Soviet countries. […]
Do you think that it’s a travesty against life that animals are slaughtered for meat products every day? It’s a tough pill for anyone to swallow. While not all of us choose to be vegetarians, those with any ounce of empathy can’t help but feel bad for these creatures in light of the suffering they […]
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTBT_ATF’); }); No matter what your personal politics happen to be, denying the existence of climate change is pretty hard to do at this point. And that’s made even clearer when footage like this comes to light. Last month, composer Ludovico Einaudi created a piece called “Elegy for the Arctic” to raise awareness […]
