In modern America being a rapper, an action-movie hero, or any kind of entertainer might depict a tough image, though in reality most of these soft, spoiled rich fellas can’t even throw a freaking baseball, 50 Cent being a prime example. However, for the ones who don’t trust the controlled media and do searches for themselves they know that there’s still a true America that you won’t see or hear about that often on popular TV shows or even in films….

Every sporting fan is pretty aware of specific sports upsets in history that have become quite tiring and boring to hear about every time the conversation goes there. And to be more specific we’re referring to the “miracle on ice,” the USSR beating the US basketball team at the 1972 Olympics, Mike Tyson getting KO’d by Buster Douglas, and Alexander Karelin finally losing after a decade and a half to Rulon Gardner. However, life goes on and there have been many more sporting upsets in recent history and to be quite honest some of them might be even bigger than the so called popular ones. So let’s get ready to rumbleeeee…. READ MORE
Hammurabi was the oldest son of Sin-Muballit, and he became the sixth king of Babylon upon his father’s abdication around 1729 BC (based on the short chronology timeline).
Even though he didn’t inherit much power from his father and at the time he controlled only a small part of Babylonia, the city of Sippar, he later became the first king of the so-called Babylonian Empire…. READ MORE
Queen Elizabeth technically doesn’t need, nor does she hold a passport, since all British passports are issued in the queen’s name. That said, the fact that Queen Elizabeth doesn’t have a passport, nor does she generally carry around picture ID, can be an issue if she simply randomly shows up in some country; so her trips are cleared with the various state departments before she arrives. This way, she doesn’t have issues with customs officials and her lack of passport. All the other members of the Royal Family are required to carry a passport on them when they travel abroad….READ MORE
This Saturday sees the first all-Madrid Champions League final taking place at Estádio da Luz in Lisbon, as Real Madrid takes on Atlético Madrid, making it the first final in the tournament’s history to feature teams from the same city. This will be the 59th season of Europe’s premier club football tournament, and the 22nd season since it was renamed from the European Champion Clubs’ Cup to the UEFA Champions League. Since we are too young to remember what happened back in the ‘60s or ‘70s, we will include in this list mostly the finals from the late-‘80s and after that we have memories of….READ MORE
We have all heard of Zeus, Apollo, Hermes, and Athena but Greek mythology is full of badass gods and goddesses that we never got a chance to learn about in school or even through film, which occasionally educates (and brainwashes) us. Two such cases are Phanes and Nomos, but let’s take things from the beginning. Phanes wasn’t just any god, he was THE primeval god. He existed way before Zeus and before the Titans as well. He was the primal generator of life, the dominant force behind reproduction in the early history of creation and when we say early creation, we totally mean EARLY….. READ MORE
Drugs, smoking, and alcohol are considered some of the most addictive “habits” of our generation (and generations past), in spite of the fact that nowadays high-tech video games, the Internet, and spending 24/7 with a smartphone in your hand seems to be just as addictive, especially for the younger generations. In our humble opinion, however, two of the most addictive “habits” or, to be more accurate, the two most basic needs of human beings have always been food and of course, sex. Today we are illuminating 11 popular “drugs” from the amazing kingdom of junk food which, as most scientific studies show lately, can kill you just as effectively as drugs, smoking, and alcohol do. We suggest you read this list with a full stomach, because some of these photos will make a hungry dude even hungrier…. READ MORE
Colonel Sanders, the famous founder of “Kentucky Fried Chicken” (who incidentally was 62 and broke when he convinced a restaurant owner to make that restaurant the first KFC) is often considered one of Kentucky’s most notable people. However, it should be noted that he was born and raised in Indiana, not Kentucky….. READ MORE
You’ve probably heard at least once in your lifetime that the Great Wall of China is the only human-made object that can be seen from space with the naked eye. Well that’s not exactly true. In perfect conditions (with the wall casting a large shadow and clear skies) it is possible for astronauts in low Earth orbit (90-300 miles) to spot the wall if they have extremely good eyesight. However, for most who’ve claimed to have spotted portions of the wall, it was later determined that what they were looking at was a river or the Grand Canal of China. As Chinese astronaut, Yang Liwei, stated: “I did not see the Great Wall from space. You can’t see it.” Funny enough, the idea that the Wall could be seen from space with the naked eye originated decades before humans went to space, notably attested in The People and the Politics of the Far East, by Henry Norman (1904): “Besides its age [the Great Wall of China] enjoys the reputation of being the only work of human hands on the globe visible from the moon.”….
