Say what you want about McDonald’s, but the restaurant is one of the most popular eateries in the entire world.

Talk about a nostalgic trip back in time. This might make some of you feel old and others feel totally clueless. John Pfaff was recently poking around in his parents’ attic when he discovered a 30-year-old Apple IIe computer…and it still works.

People Talk About What They Didn’t Realize Was Expensive Until They Became Adults

I remember the first time I had to replace the timing belt and the water pump in my car…let’s just say I was on the verge of tears…because that ain’t a cheap fix… My point in telling that story is that you don’t have any idea how expensive some things are until you really start...

Man Wants To Know if He’s Wrong To Keep His Terminal Diagnosis From His Wife

I don’t know about you, but when I read that a man wants to keep the fact that he’s not going to live for very long from his wife, I get a little judgy. You’re supposed to be each other’s person, their till-death-do-us-part, and to keep something that will ultimately affect you both a secret,...

In true Tumblr fashion, this post that began about linguistics somehow devolved in the comments, ending up a discussion on (admittedly fascinating) Icelandic folklore.

15 “Hocus Pocus” Jokes That Are Too Magical to Be Wrong

Halloween might be over, but our collective love for the movie Hocus Pocus endures all year round.

Crows Can Remember the Faces of Those Who’ve Wronged Them

Never say the term “bird-brained” refers to crows. In the past, birds weren’t really thought of as genuinely intelligent, but in recent years, researchers who’ve studied the brains of birds have found the opposite to be true.
