It's a fact that people will do anything to be more healthy. Seriously, all it takes is the fear of gaining a few extra pounds, or some scaremongering headline about rising rates of heart disease and diabetes, for typically-sensible, rational people to throw caution to the wind and endure a…

Traditionally, height is seen as an advantage. Our world worships long-legged models who strut the catwalk, seeing the world from heights of six feet, and studies have shown that tall people earn more due to their superior intelligence and social skills. If you want to be extra picky about it, even…

Have you ever heard of the expression "It's raining cats and dogs?" I always thought that it was a bit weird. Why would anyone equate a heavy rainfall with house pets falling out of the sky? It always baffled me. But then I found out that rains of animals are…

If you were a dictator for one month, what would you do? Maybe you're a nice person and you would wipe debts, provide free food for your people and turn your country into a safe haven for all. Or, like the majority of people, you're a sadistic narcissist who would let…

It's a question that might come up late at night, either as an adult when you've had too many, or as a child on a sleepover. What exactly would human flesh taste like? No one really wants to find out, because it's just a horrific idea, and well, it usually…

During President Trump's historic summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un, she tweeted, "Those who say it can not be done, should not interrupt those doing it. -Chinese Proverb."

If you've ever been to a music festival, you know things can get pretty crazy. Everybody drives out to the middle of nowhere, sets up a tent, and watches concerts for multiple days. That's a lot of time to get drunk, and maybe do other drugs too. Whether it's a…

If you offered everyone on the planet the opportunity to change one aspect of themselves, I'd be willing to bet that a near 100 per cent of them would take it up. Many people, I imagine, would want to alter their height, others their weight, and some their facial features.…

Hey everyone, did you hear? IHOP recently decided to change their name to "IHOb" (which we later found out meant "International House of Burgers"), and people were extremely unhappy at the new name, this writer included. With seemingly every fast food joint under the sun nailing their colours boldly to…

This week, a historic event took place. No, it wasn't IHOP officially becoming IHOb (the reason why that's happening is driving us all mad), but it was the groundbreaking moment that two world leaders met and shook hands. Hopefully the first step towards peace between the two nations, Donald Trump and…

You can tell a lot about someone's personality by the way they treat the less fortunate. It's easy for us to be nice and polite to our peers and betters; a bully will target someone who is down on their luck. Someone weak, someone powerless; the less recourse they possess,…

I've always wanted to invent something, and I have multiple ideas of what I would create if I had the money/materials/could be bothered. However, I do have one idea that has eclipsed all my others: The Barbecuzzi©™®. Hear me out on this one, yeah? The Barbecuzzi©™® is a hybrid between…

Last week the International House Of Pancakes announced they were changing their name from IHOP to IHOb. But they never said what the 'b' would stand for, sending the Internet into a frenzy. Does the b stand for breakfast? Broccoli? Bugs? The possibilities were endless. Today the restaurant chain announced…

It's an unspoken truth that sometimes, people just vanish. They disappear so utterly that it almost feels like alien abduction. They leave only a few meagre possessions behind; clothes that stay on hangers, a bed that will never be slept in, and the same few photographs resting on shelves which…

When a friend or family member passes away, the hardest thing is saying goodbye. They say the dead live on in our hearts and minds, but when we lose someone, it sure feels like they're not coming back anytime soon. In the case of the Torajan people, however, death does not mean…

For whatever reason, there's something about serial killers that fascinates us. There's a reason that true crime documentaries and movies based on real-life serial murders are so successful - and that's because we're all watching. Usually, there is at least some comfort in knowing that eventually the killer in question…

I am not a religious man, but if I were, this would be my religion. I love coconuts. They are the best. Think about the all-encompassing power of the coconut. Think about the myriad of majestic ways to use this deceptive fruit. You can use its oil to treat hair,…
