From magnets to butt wrinkles, this list covers some of the more interesting pseudoscientific theories and practices that have been or still are believed by man. Warning: Do not try any medical pseudoscience without discussing it with your doctor (a real doctor) first. Although we can’t give medical advice, it isn’t wise to let just anyone look at your butt wrinkles. 10 Thought Field Therapy Thought field therapy (TFT) is a pseudoscientific theory that has been floating around since 1980....

10 The Naked Hoarder John Pilotti Jr.’s response to Fox 29 reporter Chris O’Connell seemed downright feral. As the newsman stood outside a Philadelphia home for a 10:00 PM broadcast, Pilotti pounced, assailing O’Connell and his cameraman. The incensed 35-year-old was in no mood to have the press buzzing about his father’s home, perhaps because John Pilotti Sr. had nakedly perched himself on the front porch earlier that night. Or maybe it was because his naked father had been stockpiling a huge assortment of animals....

10 Bantu Languages We’ll start with Bantu, a group of languages spoken in a region of sub-Saharan Africa that stretches from Cameroon to Kenya. Their contributions to English are limited to a few quirky items, most notably “jumbo” and “zombie.” “Jumbo” comes either from the Swahili word jumbe, meaning “chief,” or nzamba, the Kongo word for “elephant.” It entered English in the 1880s as the name of an African elephant in P....

10Wedgie-Proof Underwear Any kid who has been bullied can attest to the unpleasantness of the dreaded wedgie. Most of the time, it’s little more than childish horseplay, but there have been instances of serious injury to the testicle area after wedgies. And on December 21, 2013, 58-year-old Denver St. Clair was killed when a drunken argument with his stepson ended in a wedgie that pulled his underwear over his face, suffocating him....

These aren’t easy questions to answer. Misjudge any of the above factors, and a studio can end up creating an animated project like one of the following: 10 CrackeCanada When Squeeze Studio Animation in Quebec City began this series of 52 one-minute cartoons in 2015, it must have seemed like a safe bet.[1] The premise is that an ostrich named Ed must protect his brood of eggs from all kinds of dangers....

But sometimes, strange things happen to ordinary people in their own town. Finding out exactly what happened and why it happened remains of interest to millions around the world, especially when it seems that no logical explanation can be found. 10Salzburg Cube In 1885, Reidl, an employee at an Austrian foundry, discovered the mysterious Salzburg Cube (also known as the Wolfsegg Iron). He cracked open a seam of coal to find a strange-looking iron cube inside it....

The president’s motorcade that day consisted of multiple vehicles, including a lead car, the president’s limousine, the president’s follow-up car, the vice president’s car, the vice president’s follow-up car, motorcycles, and several vehicles that contained Texas politicians, White House employees, and members of the press. Also present were the numerous Secret Service agents and local and state law enforcement. The joyful mood of the day changed to sadness when Kennedy was shot and the motorcade headed to nearby Parkland Hospital....

Video game developers can be naughty, though, as they make some villains so tricky to find, and when you find them, it is an uphill task to beat them. Sometimes, a player has to survive multiple tiers of warfare to get to see certain villains—then the final battle begins. We are not basing our list on video game villains that are difficult to defeat in battle but rather on villains that are difficult to meet....

10Acceleration G-forces never really affected humans until as late as the World War I, when pilots began mysteriously losing consciousness mid-flight. Thanks to US Air Force officer John Stapp, we then learned a lot more about how g-forces hit the human body, and the research took some serious dedication to the cause. Stapp subjected himself to forces of up to 35 g, which is the equivalent of accelerating at 343 meters per second squared (1,125 ft/s²)....

Take a look at these cutting-edge weapons, some of which have seen combat. A few of these are game-changers. 10 CornerShot Wouldn’t it be incredible if you could point a gun at someone without revealing even a single hair on your head? CornerShot is the way to go!

Created by Corner Shot Holdings LLC, it allows the user to deploy a range of deadly and non-lethal attachments against targets while remaining concealed/in cover around a corner....

10Cownnibalism Here’s an icky question. If you saw a cow eating another cow, would you drink its milk? The next time you go to the grocery store, you might want to mull that over for a bit because that milk you’re about to buy probably came from a cannibal. Dairy farmers need cheap ways to keep cows healthy, happy, and squirting out milk. To fill up those jugs, bovines need a lot of energy....

But not to worry, you’re not alone. Our research has shown that everyone reading this, the editors who commissioned it, and especially the guy writing it are super-gross, creep-tastic weirdos. You may be disgusting, but trust us: Everyone else is just as bad. 10 You Keep On Farting On Planes Your body is a farting machine. Seriously, it’s like you just can’t stop tooting. Studies have shown that most of us expel gas at least 10 times in every 24 hours, adding up to 1 liter (35 oz) of the smelly stuff every day....

10Monkeys That Speak French The zookeepers at the Port Lympne Reserve in Kent, England were having a bit of trouble. They’d recently received 19 Guinea baboons from the Paris Zoo, but these particular monkeys seemed rather confused. Anytime the keepers tried calling them for lunch, or giving any sort of command, the baboons just looked puzzled. That’s when the keepers remembered the monkeys were from France. Any linguist—or child over the age of five—knows that French zookeepers generally speak French....

This article will go through the ten movies with the worst fight scenes. These scenes stick out for being exceptionally bad for multiple reasons, from a lack of choreography or talent to some of the most absurd premises for a fight. Let’s get ready to rumble with the ten movies with the worst fight scenes. 10 Rock ‘n’ Roll Nightmare (1987) This movie is appropriately named. It is both rock and roll and a total nightmare....

Whether we like it or not, the English language is changing and will continue to change. Even though it developed from a language that had a great many rules—German grammar is a tedious thing—we’ve all but done away with many of them for the sake of convenience. Sometimes, we add rules about how a word should behave—what it means, how to make it plural—only to have that word change entirely....

Once they crossed the lines on Nov. 8, the German delegates were not driven directly to the railway car where the armistice talks were to be held. Rather, the French gave them a 10-hour “scenic tour” that showed incredible damage to the French countryside after four years of war. The delegates were then ushered into a rail car in the forest of Compiegne to begin the talks that lasted three days....

Guitar players, however, are famous for attributing success to a unique bond with their instrument. As a result, man and machine become inseparable, and over time, the general public has trouble separating where the guitar ends and the guitarist begins. Submitted for your approval is a list of several iconic guitar(ist) combinations. And yes, this one goes to eleven. As a boy, Rick Nielsen quit collecting stamps because they weren’t loud enough....

Contrary to popular believe, Venusian is not the term to describe Venus and Venus related things. The correct term is Cytherean, which comes from Cytheria – the small island where Aphrodite emerged from a shell. Furthermore, Venusian is also not correct in that it doesn’t follow the pattern used for other planets – if you aren’t referring to Venus as the Cytherian planet you should call it the Venerean planet....

This may be the first in what was called the “Nu-Disco,” ushering in a more electronic sound. It was also one of the first to use the Moog Vocoder voice effect. The clip above is not featuring the band as they were a studio band – but the dancers are so awful it has to be seen to be believed. The best part: when the lady in pink does the robot at 02:11....

Barrie, author of Peter Pan I should never have switched from Scotch to Martinis. Said by: Humphrey Bogart I am about to — or I am going to — die: either expression is correct....
