“The cliché goes that ‘a picture is worth a thousand words,’ but some photographs eschew any such numeric limitation and go on talking to us forever; certain photo portraits have that rare power. Far more than pictorial representations of celebrated or instantly recognizable figures, they capture so much more, seeming to encapsulate not simply the very essence of the person in shot but all they have come to stand for – the attitudes, beliefs and values of an entire era. Here are ten photographs of iconic individuals which triumph in communicating in myriad and immeasurable ways.” w/ photos

“Ever since I was a kid I have loved astronomy. I would lie in the back yard and stare at the stars in awe, trying to imagine what was out there.

This list looks at 15 commonly believed factlets about astronomy which are wrong.” w/ photos

“Anyone remember what life was like before sex? Yeah, we don’t either. HIGH FIVE! However, we have seen plenty of movies on the subject. We vaguely recall everyone else at school already having sex before us, but that might be something we’re stealing from a John Hughes movie. Also, there was something about our dad walking in on us repeatedly, but the odds of us not repressing that are infinitesimally small. That must have been a movie too.Okay, so we stole everything we remember about being a virgin from movies. No big deal. That’s only because there are more movies about losing your virginity than there are pillows on a rich girl’s bed. The odds of us remembering anything without adding a bit of Jason Biggs or Ethan Embry drama are pretty small… In anticipation of your lustful tryst, here are some movies you might want to rent as research before your big date with Babylon5Betty69.” w/ photos

“We all know what the little guys are for and who’s responsible for making them, but the baby makers are packing a lot more than just the half the DNA package to make a new human being.

“Today, we’re going to talk about the 10 richest women in the world. Most of these women inherited their fortunes rather than building them, but we have to give them credit for saving their fortunes, controlling businesses, and for making those fortunes grow. I’m not sure what would I do if I had even $100,000 in my bank account, nonetheless millions or billions. Would I feel happy or lost? Would I know what to do and who to trust? Money makes life easier but big money might make it much harder. Instead of using photos of the ladies (and since all of those are copyrighted) we decided to use the logos of the companies they own and they make a much bigger impression than just a simple photo with a human being.” w/ photos

“Some of these horror films were shot in black and white, while others were at the forefront of advanced movie technology. That’s right, you heard me… Advanced movie technology back in the 1950s. Several of the Top 10 Horror Films of the 1950s on our list were some of the very first 3-Dimensional movies ever made. Granted, it was nothing near the quality of today’s modern 3-D movie magic, but still very cool and ground breaking stuff for the 1950s… Here are the top 10 horror films of the 1950s.” w/ photos + videos

Here is a list of the 10 greatest ballets.” w/ photos

“Meteors crashing to earth, altering the landscape forever. Wind and sand blowing for millions of years, changing the shape of rocks and exposing formations buried for eons. Water continuously rushing through the ages, shaping new channels and widening old ones. Volcanoes underground lifting up the earth’s crust to show itself for the first time in millennia, their craters collapsing to form lakes. Earthquakes opening up hidden caverns… These are the monumental events that form our amazing world and the geological wonders in it. Here we take a look at thirteen of them. Some you will know and others will be completely new to you. All will be examples of the power of nature to create wonderful things.” w/ photos

“Today, reality TV has become a spectacle of humiliation on the path to the fifteen minutes of fame so many people seem to desire. The magazine Entertainment Weekly wrote, “Do we watch reality television for precious insight into the human condition? Please. We watch for those awkward scenes that make us feel a smidge better about our own little unfilmed lives.” One website, realitytvworld.com provides coverage of over 300 reality shows. There are the next great talent shows, life and home transformations, dating competitions, weight loss competitions, hire me for the job shows, trashy talk shows, shows about the supernatural and paranormal, and some that introduce and expose us to mental illnesses like hoarding and addictions. Who are these people seeking their fifteen minutes of fame? They are human train wrecks infamous for their dysfunction. We can always count on this group of people to surprise us with their idiocy.” w/ videos
