We all love rock concerts and stand-up comedy; going to live shows gives us a certain thrill that watching from home can’t compare. And celebrities have always fascinated the general public.

Abandoned buildings can be spooky in general, but abandoned jails are downright terrifying. Even if you aren’t a superstitious person, just being in these places can be unnerving, knowing the horrible things that might have occurred while they were still operational.

The word “hero” is probably a bit overused when it comes to professional athletes. There’s no doubt that sports stars of the modern age do incredible things on the field.

Everyone loves heist movies. The action is fast-paced, the actors are beautiful, and the payout is big. However, the reality is not as glamorous as in a film. Security around valuables is pretty tight. Plus, actual robbers are rarely smart enough to pull off a big-time heist. When everything goes wrong, the results can be

They have a hand in the visuals, story, script, and acting of every production, bringing all elements together to make something better than the constituent parts—or that’s the idea.

The thought conjures up images of intrepid explorers blazing paths out West and happy families cozy in log cabins. Many of us have moments where we wish we could be pioneers, too. After all, their

Thanks to human conflict, there is no shortage of forts, bases, and shelters. Those that are abandoned have a certain attraction, a sense of mystery that calls to urban explorers and researchers alike. This list looks at deserted places with interesting backgrounds or current situations. From the station in Antarctica that scientists keep abandoning to

Whether it’s getting a scrape on the knee from a rough game of football (soccer, if you prefer) or rolling your ankle in heels, we’ve all experienced these small injuries occasionally and have bounced back from them.

Condiments like ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise, along with other sauces, can be found at barbeques, picnics, and almost any given restaurant or fast-food establishment, with choices and variations seeming somewhat endless.
