The Myth of 98.6. | Meet Lady Liberty. | Pop Tart Wars.

You know the healthy average human temperature is 98.6 … but it’s not, and we’ve known that for over three decades.


The Statue of Liberty is world famous - but is the iconic sculpture based on a real person?


Pop Tarts changed breakfast 60-years ago. It was the prize in a high-stakes race between rival cereal-makers to get to the toaster pastry finish line first.

Can we change time? | How often should you shower? | Where change goes.

Who decides what time it actually is? France tried to change it once. It involved decimals.


Many of us shower once a day. Do we need to? Does it do more harm than good?


Americans throw away $70 million in coins every year. One company decided to go dumpster diving.

The movie you will never see. | Smokey Bear. | Death and Peanuts.

Have you been excited to see a movie but also frustrated because it was years away from release? What if it wouldn’t be released until after you were dead, and what if that was the plan?


Smokey Bear has been warning people about the dangers of forest fires for decades. But where did he come from? Is he up something more than simply preventing fires?


Peanuts, the beloved comic strip with Charlie Brown and Snoopy, is as family friendly as it comes. Except for the time it killed off a character.

Is there anything not (sung about) on the internet? | Eclipse dos and don’ts (for you and your dog.) | Can we actually get too much sleep?

Some people make money from corporate jobs, while others find a way to be their own boss. Matt Farley does a little of both. Oh, and it’s often by way of songs about bathroom humor.


Today we collectively experience something that doesn’t happen often - a total solar eclipse. Can we look at it, even for a split-second? How will pets react?


Conventional wisdom says we need 7-8 hours of sleep per night. You know what it feels like to get less, but what if you sleep more? Can we get too much sleep?
