The Viral Story of the Man Who Found 162 Bowling Balls Under His House

He didn’t find treasure. But this story sure reads like he did. It’s full of plot twists, unexpected findings, and ultimately, a family connection you’d think has to be scripted. But it’s not. This all really happened. How are we sure? Because this guy started posting about it on Facebook and it all went viral.  Good work, internet.

Here’s Your “Skip the Line” Pass to the Best Fall Boots

[Partner]  Milwaukee Boot Co. operates their own tanning and outsoling factories. Meaning everything is hand-crafted in-house. Which is just a fancy way to say they make the boots you want.

So in 1919, when he gave his opinion on what was happening between the Cincinnati Reds and the Chicago White Sox, his words carried weight.  And he was right. Unfortunately.

What It’s Actually Like to Fight a Megafire

You’re busy. You’re important. You handle tons of fire drills at work. But we’re not talking about putting out those kinds of fires. Not today at least. We’re going inside what it’s actually like to battle a raging wildfire. And no offense, but it’s way more intense than whatever you’re handling today.  Here’s some perspective.

The Mixer

Why these astronauts will return to Earth in diapers. Survival of the fittest or rock, paper, scissors? Why traveling doesn’t always make you a better person. Who invented walking? The current state of male escorts. Do undershirts really do anything? Are we suckers or savvy for buying things on sale? How to make a big impact with a small penis. The leather event of the fall we got you a front-row pass to.*
