A citromfű termesztését mindenkinek kötelezővé tenném, sokan azonban még mindig nincsenek tisztában azzal, hogy milyen fantasztikus ez a növény! Érdemes nektek is jobban megismerkednetek a citromfűvel!

Recently, a discovery was made in Israel that many people believed pieced together a mythic biblical narrative. The experts couldn’t believe it: had they really found stone cold proof of one of Jesus’ most famous miracles?

For centuries archaeologists have unearthed secrets hiding under our feet all around the world. The discoveries made by these experts bring insight to the past and sometimes even solve the world’s most ancient mysteries. Recently, a discovery was made in Israel that many people believed pieced tog...

The Bermuda Triangle has been the subject of intense debate for decades. Over the years, ships and planes have mysteriously disappeared while crossing through the 500,000-square mile area of ocean, and in every instance, no one knows what happened.

Oxygen is an absolute necessity to humans (hence mermaids only existing as mythical beings). That being said, one tribe in Malaysia has come pretty darn close to getting by without it. Scientists from around the world are trying to understand these people's incredible adaptions that are putting Ariel herself to shame.

Whether it’s sweltering heat, frigid temperatures, or vicious storms, the human race has been learning how to combat the elements since the beginning of time. It’s just how we’re wired, and how we’ve survived for so long. There is one thing, however, we haven’t figured out: getting by with...

It hardly sounds believable, but by 2050, more plastic will live in the ocean than fish. And when massive storms batter coastlines, the mountains of beached trash they leave in their wake is proof.

If we all had the chance to see the immense amount of trash floating like small islands throughout the sea, we’d be horrified. Animals and ecosystems are increasingly at risk, and unless humans make a massive effort to lower the amount of waste disposal, it’s going to get way worse. When Storm E...

Where were you when you learned that giraffes have black tongues, or that some turtles can live for hundreds of years? Maybe you read these tidbits on a Snapple cap, but there are even more incredible facts that completely change how we look at the so-called ordinary world.

After reviewing the stats, we've come to the conclusion that people love spooky stuff. The excitement of hosting horror movie marathons and planning Halloween costumes months in advance, or the nervous anticipation that comes with entering a haunted attraction, really gets the blood pumping. It's all fun and games... until a real ghost shows up.

Remember the time you and a classmate accidentally showed up to school wearing the same outfit? Or the time you found out that you shared a friend with someone you’d just met? Coincidences happen every day, and while we usually just laugh them off as the trivialities that they are, there are other times when these moments are certainly more than mere happenstance.

If there’s anything humans have a love/hate relationship with, it’s our past. Every page of our shared history book is detailed with contradictions: Bloodshed and war, forgiveness and rebirth, and so on. And because of this chaotic past, humans put a lot of importance onto what we create. Skyscrapers just keep getting taller, cities are getting bigger, and we idolize anything that seems to touch the sky…

These schoolyard Picassos royally stuck it to their mortified parents by calling them out in their class assignments. Little did the children know, their innocent admissions resulted in gut-busting laughter from their teachers and some pretty red faces from mom and dad!

When your kid goes to school, they control the narrative of what your family looks like. Sure, teachers spend enough time around the little exaggerators to know half the words flying out of their mouths are utter nonsense. Though sometimes, a kid blurts out such a revealing jewel about their parents...

Whether you’re reading your kids a fairy tale or watching a scary movie, every creepy story has one thing in common: an eerie location. The top of a castle tower. A crumbling city. Or, commonly, shadowy, endless woods. There’s something especially unsettling about a dark patch in the wilderness,...

Fall fashion tips for students.

To all my fashion lovers out there- fall fashion is finally here! Time to tuck the shorts, tanks and sundresses away until next year and bring out the jeans, sweaters and hoodies. With the stress of classes and work, sometimes getting ready for school feels like too much work. We don’t have the ti...

We’ve all had family members scold us for gnawing at our cuticles or for sitting too close to the television. But, did we ever listen? Nope. We’d roll our eyes and shrug our shoulders, assuming that they were just being overprotective. The grave danger of these silly habits was never taken seriously — but maybe it should have been.

Luckily, slamming a hot (or cold) cup of coffee first thing in the morning helps you gather energy to kick yourself into high gear and win the day. Millions of people love the stuff, but even the biggest coffee fanatics can’t know everything.

Ah, curse those dreaded mornings! The sun hits those closed eyelids, reminding you work looms around the corner and a long day’s about to begin. The glorious land of dreams has come to an end, and the real world awaits. Isn’t that feeling just the worst? Luckily, slamming a hot (or cold) cup of ...

When one woman realized that her memories of the past didn’t synch up with reality, she immediately set out to discover if there were any others that felt the same. Amazingly, there were, and together these truth seekers uncovered a never-before-seen phenomenon that may prove our universe is more complex than we imagined.

Remember that time you were absolutely certain Curious George had a tail only to learn he never had one? Or the time you learned that the animated adventures of Bugs Bunny and his pals were called “Looney Tunes” rather than “Looney Toons”? If you’re just figuring these things out now and h...

It’s a hot summer day, and you’re out picking berries, shoveling handfuls full of ripe in-season wonders into your basket. You decide to be bad, to pop one of those succulent fruits in your mouth without washing. Before you sink your teeth into the familiar red skin of the strawberry, you notice it isn’t red at all, but green, and entirely covered in unsightly growths: that strawberry cannot be normal!

In fact, there’s one creepy online threat that’s hiding in plain sight. Not only is it unsettling, but it’s also proving to be a serious threat to both people’s privacy and the future of world politics.

With enough effort, you can find virtually anything on the Internet. While that might seem like a good thing when you’re trying to dig up a specific funny cat video, not everything out there is so benign. Sometimes, it’s better to avoid delving too deeply into your Google search results; you nev...
