Ever chatted with someone who has so much debt they feel overwhelmed? Maybe Ill just file for bankruptcy, they might say. But then, the inevitable caveat: Id still have my student loans, though. And in the coming years, it may actually get easier. You must pass whats called the undue hardship test. There is evidence that this hardship will continue for a significant portion of the loan repayment period. You made good faith efforts to repay the loan before filing bankruptcy....

I knew they dont have all the selective breeding of dogs. Humans have been breeding dogs for 100,000 years, he says. Weve only kept pet cats in the house for the last couple of centuries. So theyre not that different from each other, or from their wild ancestor....

It happened while I was helping my daughter get up on the toilet, my son standing behind me. Its the only time Ive ever considered actually washing his mouth out with soap. And then my eyes with the same soap. Curious children and public bathroomsare an unfortunate combination. I still shudder when I think of my sons unexpected take on lickable wallpaper. This will only take a moment No line?...

I love sober people. (Seedlip is so popular, my dad called me to ask me about it.) This is all fantastic. There was a whisper of citrus flavor (and citric acid), but that was it. I then tried Seedlip with ginger beer, and all I could taste was ginger beer. I tried it with tonic, and all I could taste was (diluted) tonic. I tried it with plain seltzer, and all I could taste was a weaker version La Croix....

Throughout history, many observers have reported seeing strange things in the sky. Eventually, a large black triangular object appeared and then a large crash was heard outside of the city. Besides the globes flew back and forth among themselves and fought vehemently with each other for over an hour. Whatever such signs mean, God alone knows. For it, may God grant us his help, Amen. The 1566 celestial phenomenon over Basel....

To prevent the tissues from rotting, refrigeration units were placed inside their hollow interiors.

Out of all places to stick your head into, a particle accelerator would rank among the worst. Yet, on that fateful day of 13 July 1978, thirty-six-years-old Russian scientist Anatoli Bugorski just had to. As soon as his head crossed the invisible beam of proton, his brain was zapped. Bugorski felt no pain, but he reportedly saw a flash brighter than a thousand suns. A section of the U-70 proton synchrotron at the Institute for High Energy Physics in Protvino....

One of his specialties was car accidents. Streets were flooded with Fords and Cadillacs. But traffic laws were pliant and drivers were terrible, making top-heavy vehicles prone to overturn at sharp corners. There was enough chaos on the streets to keep Leslie Jones busy. When Leslie Jones died in 1967, his personal collection amounted to nearly 40,000 negatives.

The Colosseum was the Roman Empires largest amphitheater, but it was not the largest stadium. That title belonged to Circus Maximus, situated just over half a kilometer southwest of the Colosseum.

The stadium had a seating capacity between 150,000 and 250,000, according to various sources. A model of Circus Maximus....
