Have you ever traveled to a location and realized that, in some strange way, you’ve been there before? Or, have you been asked a question that you swore you knew the answer to — but even though it’s on the tip of your tongue, you just can’t seem to get the answer out? These and […]

Where exactly is the groove? Ah, yes, I see it is in the heart. I never would have been able to understand the true meaning of Deee-Lite’s 1990 dance hit without this chart.

In a move that is sure to become a platform for aspiring politicians everywhere, Google has announced it will give every homeless person in San Francisco free voicemail. After all, how do you stay connected and communicate with people when you don’t even have a house to call from? They’ll be working with homeless shelters […]

You’d like to watch some of your favorite television shows or movies on the ride, but nobody wants to pay for something twice. If […]

One of the hardest things for anyone to do is to tip properly. After all, it seems that every few years the proper tipping format seems to change. Ten percent, fifteen percent, twenty percent, more?

If you’ve ever wondered where your remote control came from or how your computer ended up with a mouse, don’t worry. The Inventors’ Hall in Akron, Ohio has got your back. The National Inventors’ Hall of Fame, founded in 1973, honors–you guessed it–inventors from around the globe. However, one requirement for being inducted is that […]

Two things are close to the heart of most Americans – their budget and their health. Now, notorious tight-wad couch potatoes have one less excuse for not getting up off the furniture and getting fit. The lack of dough in a wallet should never be an excuse for getting a doughy body in shape. Sure, […]

Put this one under the Casper files, because The Contaminated has logged their list of the most haunted places in the world. It’s not limited to houses either; we’ve got The Queen Mary on board which happens to be a luxury ocean liner-turned-Hotel. The city of Long Beach in sunny California purchased the ship over […]
