It's been a while, but we have some good ones. Flying snakes, the shocking number of gay animals (personal trigger warning for Ron DeSantis), getting high on snake venom, AI turned on its masters, brain worms, the music police of Chechnya, the
You might feel tiny, you might feel like a giant. You might think your head has ballooned and floats to the ceiling where you can look down on those around you. You might be high. You might have Alice in Wonderland Syndrome. It might also be ca

You may not think there are any octopuses in Oklahoma. Heck, you may not think there are any freshwater octopuses anywhere. But you might be wrong. There might be a reddish, horse-sized tentacled creature in several Oklahoma lakes that will dra
This Just in: Man Confesses to Being DB Cooper!Well, kind of. It was more the guy's wife who confessed to her son, but he had to wait until she died to tell anyone. And this is at least the sixth person to confess to being DB Cooper but this on
When two brothers are accused of murder by a third brother, it looks bad for them. Evidence piles up. There is going to be a shotgun trial. Luckily, they lived in Springfield, IL in 1841 and they could hire a young lawyer named Abraham Lincoln
If you bought a pair of JNCO jeans in 1998 you probably bought a pair of Google Glasses in 2013, but hopefully skipped the thong jeans fad a few years later. From bustles to  bullet bras to window pants, we take a tour of some of the strangest
Everyone knows there are no monkeys native to North America. But what if everyone is wrong? Wouldn't that monkey be able to run fast, leap far, attack moving cars, eat sheep and occassionally people? Of course they would. And we would call them
When a woman saw a butcher at a grocery store in Bogota that looked eerily like a co-worker, it would set in motion a chain reaction that would end in a shocking revelation. And a certain hospital would have some explaining to do.
Kasper's story that began with such mystery ends even more strangely. Was he assassinated? Or did the footsteps in the bloody snow tell a different story? And who was Kasper Hauser?
Before Nuremberg was known for war trials it was the place where a teenage boy suddenly appeared from nowhere with a remarkable story to tell. Soon he was the toast of Europe and many wondered if he might even be someone very special.
What would you do if you got lost on Japan's rugged Mount Asahi with no help in sight? Night coming, temperature dropping. If you were a fan of Gilligan’s Island or Astro Boy you might use tree trunks to build a huge SOS sign visible from the s
Cannibalism? Necrophilia? Kidnapping children who thought they were their friends? Join us for a view of the dark underbelly of the world of crows - oh, wait, no that’s right - Carey’s doing this episode so it’s going to be all “feel good.”
Look, who wouldn't want to hit the Hot Topic or H & M or Aeropostale at every available opportunity. You gotta stay on trend. But how far would you go? Would you actually move into a mall? Before you answer we have two words for you: Spencer's
Who murdered Chares Bravo? Was it Florence ridding herself of a brutish husband? Was it the well-paid companion preserving her positiong? Was it even murder at all? Or was it something far stranger still?
Charles Bravo was (probably) murdered on April 18, 1876, but it just took him 3 agonizing days to die. Since he refused to tell anyone what had really happened to him, the rumors took over. Had Charles been murdered? Or, more likely, who had mu

Florence Bravo weathered scandal and ruin in Victorian England by marrying a chinless but respectable lawyer named Charles Bravo. Then she murdered him. Or not. If he knew who poisoned him, Charles would take that  knowledge to the grave. Let's
Cane toads that had overrun parts of Australia get big and nasty. But at least they can't swallow you whole. Is there a toad in Hubei province of China with a mouth six feet wide?
Octopuses are strange. They have too many arms and each has its own brain. They can instantly change color, pattern, and texture to match their surroundings. They are shockingly smart. They are so different from other life on earth that some pe
A lot of people are asking if Garth Brooks might be a prolfiic serial killer. If people in the cities he tours should feel safe. Should we, like most media, treat this with a weird sense of seriousness? Maybe, but don't get us started on if Ted
Why do we trick and/or treat? Why are black cats so big this time of year? Why do we even have halloween in the first place? We answer all the questions you were too afraid to ask about Halloween because, frankly, you're kind of a baby.
