Chemtrails. You know, the cloudy looking trails that airplanes leave behind? The ones that supposedly are being used to control not only the weather, but also us? Yeah…those are called CONTRAILS, or condensation trails, and they are lines of clouds made by airplane engine exhaust or changes in air pressure, primarily made of water in the form...

So many myths that we still believe center around what we affectionately refer to as “Old Wives’ Tales”; stories from the days of yore about how they used to get it done way back when. Unfortunately for those old wives, there is little truth to many of these claims. Despite this, however, these myths have...

Climate change. Global warming. Greenhouse gas. Carbon footprint. Terms we’ve been hearing for years to convince us that the world is changing right before our eyes, it is our fault that it is changing, and that we can actually do something about it. Despite the overwhelming evidence of our role in this all, there are...

Just like some people refuse to believe in the moon landing, there’s another great American myth that just won’t disappear: that the September 11th attacks were an ‘inside job’. Despite vast annals of evidence, an entire government fact-finding commission, video evidence, thousands of victims, and the impossibility of a near two decade long, multi-thousand person...

History is our link to the past. Millions and millions of people are students of history, professional historians, history teachers, etc…yet somehow…millions and millions of people still latch onto ridiculous myths that have somehow withstood the test of time, despite the vast amount of knowledge available to us in an instant (Thanks, Google!). Below are...

Oh, the moon landing. One of our favorite conspiracy theory gems. Despite the overwhelming evidence collected and verified over the course of the last 50 years, some folks still seem dead convinced the whole thing was faked in a studio somewhere with Stanley Kubrick calling the shots. As cool as that would be, it simply...

Our founding fathers are often viewed as larger than life, other-worldly type figures who flew into battle on the backs of bald eagles to free America from British tyranny. Naturally, there is a great deal of myth and legend associated with these men – none more so than George Washington. One of the most enduring...

At one point or another, we’ve all fantasized about going off on a boss or a coworker and crashing out work in a spectacular fashion, flipping everyone the double-bird as the door hits us on the ass on the way out. Well…not everyone is given that glorious opportunity. And these 22 people did some pretty...

So we recently shared a list of 16 crazy pictures that will definitely make you snap your head back and say “Wait…what the hell is that?” Well…here are 10 more photos that absolutely require a second look to figure out. #1. The unsuspecting wet dog. #2. What in the world happened here… #3. This mutant...

Photography can be pretty magical – sometimes photos are taken in the exact perfect way, requiring us to take a second look to figure what in the actual hell is going on. These 16 photos definitely fit into that category. #1 That’s some clear freaking water #2 Someone tell that brontosaurus herd to get off...

Most of us will never be able to describe to others what heaven looks like (if you believe in that sort of thing), or what you experience while you are dying (walking toward a bright light, etc.). What do people experience when their not ‘there’ anymore? Well another time when it’s not so clear whether...

There are few things that can strike fear into our hearts like severe weather. I don’t know if it is the sheer power of mother nature or my feelings of complete helplessness (maybe it’s both?), but the weather will humble me in a hurry. These 13 stories share times when people were held completely captive by...

Joseph Stalin is among the most reviled men in history. He was responsible for the deaths of countless Russians. The Great Purges, collectivization, the Gulags, the Show Trials…the list goes on and on forever. Stalin was also a master of manipulation. He successfully shifted the blame for all of his horrible atrocities to the men...

At some point, all of us folks who claim to be adulting at some level have tried to become ‘morning people’, setting that alarm a few minutes earlier, or going to the gym before work. What we often find out is that we just aren’t cut out for that crap. Well, that is strictly due...

Many a Saturday morning, I’ve opened my eyes, felt the coziness of my warm bed and thought “F*** getting out of this womb-like position. I’m not adulting today. If I only I could take it with me to the living room.” Welp…the gods of my inner monologue have come through CLUTCH. Meet the COLE. Of...
