Did you know that before humans started peeing on a stick, grains like barley and emmer, and animals like mice, rabbits, and even frogs were used to determine pregnancy? Today we’re looking into the history of how humans stopped using animals in hopes of getting a positive pregnancy test. Let’s get into it!

In 1587, 117 settlers vanished without a trace from the island of Roanoke. No bodies. No graves. Just a single word carved into wood: CROATOAN. For centuries, it’s remained one of history’s most chilling unsolved mysteries—until now. New evidence has surfaced. And it might finally explain what really happened to the Lost Colony.

Why are we afraid of the number 13? Why don't buildings have a 13th floor? Is there any proof to back up the belief that Friday the 13th brings bad luck? Or are all those superstitions?

In 1918, the world got affected by influenza sweeping across nations. What measures did we take to slow its advance? What did we fail to implement? How did we learn from it? And how does it compare to the current pandemic? Let’s get into it.

Correction: At 11:05, we show a photo by James Martz of a fragment from the Carancas meteorite. While striking, it’s not fully representative of the smaller meteors typically seen during stargazing. A more accurate example would be an unmelted micrometeorite, like those featured in Jon Larsen’s In Search of Stardust. Many thanks to James Martz for the photo.

It started with a deafening boom—and then, the sickness began.
Hundreds of villagers collapsed with violent headaches, vomiting, and dizziness. Even animals began to die without warning.
No one knew what was happening... or why.
Scientists rushed to investigate—but the deeper they dug, the stranger the mystery became.
Was it a hidden toxin? An ancient disease awakened?
Or something far more terrifying than anyone imagined?

John Carpenter’s The Thing focuses on an alien lifeform that infects other creatures with its own cells, a parasite leeching off the host and growing, creating horrifying monsters sprouting multiple heads, grow limbs or a gaping mouth full of teeth. But in real life, a parasitic being can take a life on its own—without the knowledge of the host. Are homunculus real? Let’s get into it.

If you were to ever search for the biggest heists in history, you would probably find lists detailing the theft of gold bullion, diamonds, bearer bonds, or millions of dollars in untraceable cash.
You'd learn about the Iraq Central Bank heist, the Antwerp diamond heist, or the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum theft. You'd think of heavily armed men, intricate tunnel systems, or insider jobs involving corrupt bank managers…
You’ll notice a trend here. Not a single one of those heists involves a single KitKat. Well, don’t worry. This heist involves 413,793 KitKats.
