The Real Reason Sharks Usually Don't Eat Humans, Even After Biting
Переглядів 686День тому
The idea of sharks not liking the taste of humans has been around for at least a half a century, with the first account of this notion (that we could find) appearing in a Sep. 2, 1968 edition of The Evening Independent in an article titled "Expert Says Sharks Dislike Human Taste". In it, the associate curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History, Dr She...
What was It Like to Be a Medieval Executioner?
Переглядів 4,5 тис.28 днів тому
Ever wonder what it was like to be an executioner in the ballpark of Medieval times in Europe and how someone got the job in the first place? Well, wonder no more. As to the latter question, it turns out that many European Medieval executioners were former criminals themselves. You see, for reasons we'll get into shortly, the role of executioner was so unpopular that finding someone to do the j...
The Greatest Lockpicking Mic Drop

In April 1851, Alfred C. Hobbs boarded the steamship Washington bound for Southampton, England. His official duty was to sell the New York City-based company Day and Newell’s newest product - the parautopic lock - at a trade show - London’s Great Exhibition. But Hobbs had something a bit more nefarious up his sleeve, or rather in the small trunk that accompanied him on the ship. In it sat a lar...

The legendary Roald Dahl's book Charlie & Chocolate Factory from 1964 (and its subsequent film adaptations) told the story of a magical candy factory and its eccentric and mysterious owner Willy Wonka. A chocolate river, gum that is a whole turkey dinner, never-ending gobstoppers, and, of course, the singing and dancing oompa-loompas are just a few of the surprises that waited inside the doors ...
Is It Legal to Land a Helicopter or Passenger Drone in a Parking Lot?

While the question of whether a helicopter can legally land in a fast-food parking lot may seem absurd on the surface, given the not totally improbable coming of ubiquitous drones capable of carrying people around from point to point, this question may actually have a lot of relevance in coming years. So can such aircraft currently legally land in random parking lots? Author: Karl Smallwood Hos...

From the Back of a Bike to Billionaire- The Inspiring Story of Sriracha Sauce
Переглядів 8823 місяці тому
The genesis of Sriracha hot sauce (pronounced sir-ah-cha, contrary to what many think) becoming the condiment staple it is today can be traced back to 1975 and an unassuming Vietnamese refuge called David Tran- the founder and current CEO of Huy Fong Foods. Following the Vietnam war, Tran, who was a Major in the South Vietnamese army and otherwise made his living making sauces, fled Vietnam wit...

    Funny that Dr. Applegate is the person mentioned... I remember the centaur like aliens in KA Applegate's Animorphs (books back in 90s) could eat/taste via their hooves. The name brought back memories of that series and that particularly 'weird' feature of those aliens. A shark having different layers in their teeth w/ various sense structures (beyond touch) = along the same line. Its quite true that IF we want to look at what 'aliens might be like: we need only investigate the creatures in our own oceans'...Cuz that is a truly alien world (compared to what we see on land).

Got it. I think. So. Wait. Executioners were killers, torturers, and doctors. Right. So, the transition to dentist was very natural.

    9th/10th Amend = IF fed/state hasn't passed explicit laws about it being illegal = Unenumerated Constitutional Right. Want to juggle chainsaws while operating a crane? No law against it? = LEGAL. No law regarding 'where a parking lot' can be? or what can/can't be considered a 'unpaved, unregulated, private airstrip'? = Anything can be an airstrip: a roof, a lawn, a set of pontoon boats tied together w/ zipties (flat decking/ no stuff on them).

    $500 was a LOT more than $11,000. That's a direct exchange based on inflation but fails to take into account buying power. $500 would have bought a house and land, a small farm or a large parcel of grazing land. To correctly explain amounts from that long ago it is better to explain what they would have bought rather than current value.
