Have you ever wondered why a work colleague gets promoted when you are fairly confident that they are not really qualified for their new position? Do you find this annoying? Especially when you know you could do that job better than they can and you probably deserve to be promoted instead of them? OK, don’t…
Giant humans may have literally once roamed the Earth. There have been numerous reports over the years of giant human skeletons being found in North America and elsewhere around the world. In addition, there’s a lot of controversy surrounding their origin and legitimacy. 7 Examples of Proof that Giants Existed 10 Forbidden and Creepy Claims…
I have heard some negative rumblings about the legacy of Columbus over the past few years. Apparently, Christopher Columbus did not literally discover “America” and he was somewhat of a tyrant.

I have become so bored during the lockdown that I find myself doing really stupid things because I think they are interesting even though (as you will read below) they clearly are not. For example, I will stare at the lawn and think to myself – “Wow! The grass looks so good this year. It’s…
