Talking in your sleep, or somniloquy, is a strange but relatively common behavior that’s been observed since way back in Ancient Greece. It’s a pretty entertaining one, too. One Reddit user describes a night when her boyfriend sat up in bed and ever so slowly gave her...
Naturally, we begin with a snake. In late May, a 10-foot python crawled from 38-year-old Atthaporn Boonmakchuay’s squat toilet in his home in Thailand and latched onto his penis. There are conflicting reports about what happened next. But somehow either Boonmakchuay and/or his wife tied the snake...
Don’t look now, but your skin and the surface of the sun have something in common—sunspots. Ok, slightly different. While the sun’s spots are simply areas of (relatively) lower temperature, our spots—a.k.a. age spots, because they typically become more and more visible the older you get—are actually...
Women have been at the forefront of armpit hair trends for forever. First they had it, then they didn’t, now they’re growing it long, dying it bright, and even styling it with glitter. And, now, guys are experimenting with their underarm hair styles, too. But before you...
You’re bound to hear plenty of mushy talk about hearts this week in the run up to Valentine’s Day. Not so much the kind that beats in your chest, but the more cliched variety, like how “big” your heart is. As it turns out, there’s a lot...

Self-labeled sex addicts often speak about their identities very clinically, as if they’re paralyzed by a scientific condition that functions the same way as drug and alcohol addiction. But sex and porn “addiction” are NOT the same as alcoholism or a cocaine habit. In fact, hypersexuality and...
Love it or hate it, mall or coffee shop, you can’t go anywhere this time of year without hearing that old familiar tune: “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose…” Unfortunately, if you had to leave your house to go to that...
Thanksgiving’s all about tradition. Like the tradition of stuffing our faces with food, only to spend hours conked out on the couch with meat sweats. It’s moments like those, however—steamy, uncomfortable and incapable of doing anything but stare at the ceiling—that make us ask the oh-so-important question:...
If there’s one thing the human race can agree upon, it’s that you should trim that thick strand of hair hanging from your left nostril. In fact, people have such strong opinions against nose hair that someone even created a service made specifically for sending anonymous emails...
The recent release of The Martian had us wondering: How would living in space actually affect Matt Damon’s body? Would his skin age at a ludicrous speed? Would his hair grow like Rapunzel’s? To get some answers, we talked to retired astronaut and author of The Ordinary...
