Telling people about your exhilarating adventure swimming with pigs may not elicit the same coos as swimming with dolphins or seals, but there’s no arguing that it looks pretty fun. If you’re so inspired, journey to Great Exuma (or Big Major Cay, depending on what source you’re reading) in The…

[Image via] I believe in aviation circles they refer to situations like this a “wicked burn, dude.” After decades of suffering with an inadequate airport, private investors in San Diego have decided to circumvent the local government’s expansion inaction by taking matters into their own hands. They’re going to build…

Print this story out and keep it in a quick-draw holster, so the next time your crusty, dinosaur boss rejects your request to telecommute because they think the remoteness reduces productivity, you can slap this down on their desk. Meet French businessman, publisher and journalist Gauthier Toulemonde, who recently telecommuted…

Imagine it: A few years from now you could have a party where all your guests sit around in a circle and clip electrodes to their genitals which would allow everyone to control who feels what on their… Whoops! Wrong electrodes article!  This is about tasting online, which is actually…

Briefly, Morph essentially makes each row of seats into an adjustable width bench, allowing people to buy as much…

I was transfixed by Chris Hadfield’s series of videos from the International Space Station, demonstrating sleeping in space, what happens when you cry in space, and the geekiest thing that ever happened, chatting with William Shatner. Then, of course, one of the top 10 moments in the history of the…

First of all, I already invented time travel back in 1991. You buy a jug of Gordon’s Vodka, a gallon of orange juice, mix it, “prime” yourself with this time travel potion (one cup every 20 minutes is optimal – no ice), strap yourself into something and in the blink…

How many countries are there? I know this one! Lessee there’s the USA,  Russia,  Europe, Atlantis, uh Pandora… Screw it, I give up. The answer is actually a little tricky, even for smart people, because it’s a moving target and it depends on who’s counting. The detail-oriented CGP Grey, responsible…
