Remember when you used to be able to get those gallon buckets of ice cream at the supermarket? As a kid, they were awesome because they promised a whole gallon of ice cream, that’s a lot of frozen custard and high-fructose corn syrup! But as you get older, you begin to get a bit more
When you shower, always remember to clean your ears. It’s difficult not to say that in your “parenting” voice. Perhaps when you were a kid you even remember your parents telling you to do it. That’s the sort of memory that can remind you of simpler times as you wrap yourself in the nostalgia of
What’s a cyborg? If you get swept up in science fiction movies, you most likely think of cyborgs as sort of half-human, half machine characters (these characters are typically cleverly used to touch on the human condition).

Do you recall the old tale about Johnny Appleseed? When you were younger you probably heard the tale of how Johnny Appleseed traveled around bringing fresh apples to communities (you should eat apples because they’re good for you and that’s the moral of the story). Actually, that isn’t the whole reality. The authentic Johnny Appleseed
Have you ever had your vehicle break down in the middle of the highway? That really stinks! You have to pull your car off the road. Then you likely pop your hood and have a look at the engine. Who knows why? Humorously, you still do this despite the fact that you have no understanding
When it comes to history, there are three different types of individuals: those who are really interested and fascinated by history, those whose eyes glaze over and they start to fall asleep when history is discussed, and people who believe that aliens are responsible for history.
