How To: Make Harry Potter Butterbeer

A Once Hidden Cave City: 6,000 Homes Built In A Rock

The Snakebot: Scarier Than Any Real Snake
Politics and war are big business. In countries all around the world, people are dreaming up new ways to outsmart their enemies to "win" a war. However, is there ever really a winner? In my opinion, everyone loses when there is violence in the world.
We've written probably a dozen articles on ...
Frankenlovely: Our Obsession With Image & Youth Illustrated
It is no surprise that we live in an image and youth obsessed culture. Most of the women I know are either obsessed with having the perfect face, the perfect body or even just the perfect hair.

Real Life Drama: Woman Goes Jedi and Attacks with a Lightsaber
I have to admit; it's been a while since I've gotten excited over a lightsaber. It was fun watching this lightsaber flash mob and this dog that could fight with a lightsaber.
