88 - Top 10 Tragically Funny Facts About North Korea Oct 07, 2019

Show notes

Some nations are known for their neutrality, others are known for belligerence, and some even for chocolate. North Korea, on the other hand, is known simply for the madness of its institutions and the laws that govern its land. It has to be said that although the country’s treatment of its population is tragic, some of the nation’s history is simply funny. From the former supreme leader Kim Jong-il’s hair to his glasses, there is plenty to laugh at when it comes to North Korea.

87 - Top 10 Things You Didnt Know about Area 51 Oct 07, 2019

Show notes

Since 1955 when President Eisenhower approved it as a test site, Area 51 has become shorthand for “scary secret government facility used to keep paranormal secrets.” It remains enough of a pop culture touchstone that as recently as 2015, the director of Paranormal Activity released a terrible movie on the subject. While we can’t say with complete certainty that nothing supernatural is stored or tested at Area 51 (just like we can’t say that with complete certainty about every other government facility) there are many interesting things we do know about the famous testing place one hundred miles north of Las Vegas, NV in the Groom Lake Bed.

84 - Top 10 Television Characters So Good They NEEDED Spin Offs Shows Oct 05, 2019

Show notes

Have you ever watched a show and been more fascinated with a supporting character than the protagonist? Sometimes an actor’s performance, in a limited role, or the mystery surrounding the character’s background and motivations create a demand for a greater role. In other situations, a character happens to just have a great popularity or following in an already successful show. Either way, the result is the creation of a show based around the former supporting character as a leading man or woman.

Show notes

Running for President of the United States is an extremely difficult endeavor that puts a candidate under such a microscope that any indiscretion or past mistake is certain to come under public scrutiny. Even with all the obstacles in the way of candidates, the great power that the office presents entices plenty of candidates that look unlikely to win the presidency. Some candidates managed to beat all odds and win the presidency; others were able to rise to great heights in the polls only to see their candidacy come to its inevitable end. Here are the top ten presidential campaigns who won or did better than expected.

Many of us eat fast food on a regular basis for reasons of sheer convenience. Sometimes we simply don’t have the time for much else, we’re already out, and it’s easy.

79 - Top 10 Strangest Addictions Oct 03, 2019

Show notes

There’s a fine line between addictive and compulsive behavior. For a long time, drugs and alcohol were the mainstays of addiction, until neurologists and psychologists learned that the chemical signals activated in the brain during certain activities—sex and gambling are the popular examples—could make behaviors potentially as addictive as consuming those legendary substances.
