Turns Out Monkeys, Wolves, and Polar Bears Were Kissing Before We Existed
There’s nothing like waking up to a BBC headline that basically says, “Hey humans, you’re not special — monkeys did it first.” Scientists now believe the first mouth-on-mouth kiss goes back 21.5 million years, long before humans, before Neanderthals, before whoever invented the first scented candle.

La Niña vs. Polar Vortex-The Winter Forecast Nobody Saw Coming
There’s a special kind of dread that creeps into your chest when you see meteorologists argue online. It’s like watching two doctors disagree over an X-ray of your lungs — you’re not sure what’s happening, but you know it’s probably bad for you. Right now the argument is over whether…

I knew before even reading the story that I’d hate it. AP News, via ABC, reported that researchers stumbled into a cave on the Greek-Albanian border and found what’s probably the biggest spider web ever recorded. That one sentence alone made every hair on my arms stand up. Any headline…

According to the folks at Smithsonian Magazine, researchers caught something on camera that reads less like biology and more like an R-rated Pixar reboot. Brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) have been documented snatching bats out of the air — yes, snatching bats — in the wild. Picture this: a rat on…

Ghosts and Gary Numan-When Pop Royalty Meets the Paranormal
Gary Numan has spent a career making machines sound emotional. He turned static and circuitry into art. But now, tucked away in the Scottish Highlands, it’s the silence that’s making him uneasy.

“Raspberry Parade” and Other Hits We’ve Been Singing Wrong for Decades
I was flipping through the TV the other day and landed on MTV. Actual music videos — imagine that. And there was Prince, strutting through a purple haze of 80s glory, singing what I have confidently introduced on radio stations as “Raspberry Parade.” Except, of course, it’s “Raspberry Beret.” Early…

We Fought a Revolution to Escape The Royal Family, Yet Here We Are
Every few weeks, the British royal family drops a new episode, and America collectively cancels its plans. Not officially, of course—we act like we don’t care. We roll our eyes, scroll past the headlines, maybe even mutter something about “taxpayer-funded melodrama.” But next thing you know, you’re deep in a…
