The human body: An inspiring biological work of art? Or a meaty sack of germs and fluids? Either way, there’s still a lot we don’t know about what goes on in there — and scientists are constantly attempting to find out more. Here are the most interesting things they’ve...
We were surprised to learn recently that, despite its status as a festive smooch-inducer, mistletoe is actually a highly poisonous parasite. Sexy! It also, however, has some medicinal benefits, which got us wondering about other holiday spices and trimmings. Turns out, there’s a lot more to this stuff...
Here’s the thing, bro: You have estrogen, bro. That’s right — the lady hormone. Even though you’re a testosterone-hoarding bro — who may even be taking testosterone right now to bro out with your bros and get buff — you too have estrogen coursing through your bro body.

In the battle against the elements, it’s one of life’s cruel jokes that our lips, one of the most exposed areas of our bodies to the sun, wind and cold (let alone our penchant for idle talk, a salty snack or a chance at first base), is...
With nowhere to be the next day but at home, stuffing your face, Blackout Wednesday is the unofficial start of Thanksgiving Weekend: A night comprised of celebrating with friends, reunions and drinking until your brain is annihilated—so annihilated, in fact, that you don’t remember annihilating it.
