Director Osgood Perkins is slated to direct the new film, “Incident at Fort Bragg,” which will tell the story of the very real Irish Priest Malachi Martin that conducted a government-sanctioned exorcism of a young soldier on the North Carolina base. While Martin, and his career as an exorcist, are both entirely real, the incident […]

As we continue to see in the modern era, human history has seen no shortage of brutality and bloodshed, which can often make archeological work seem pretty grim. At its most basic, archaeology is all about the exhumation of things that have long been defunct or dead: people, items and even cultures. With so much […]

A one-two punch of massive storms are currently putting a hurting on the United States, just in time for many of us to hit the road for our annual Turkey Day celebrations. For many of us, travel around the holidays is a painful requirement — but it can get a whole lot more painful if […]

At this point, most of us know that the story of Thanksgiving that we’re taught in grade school isn’t exactly accurate.  Pilgrims and Native Americans probably didn’t share a turkey across a picnic table and because European supplies were all but exhausted by the time the festival began (a festival in which few Pilgrims would […]

For many of us, Thanksgiving isn’t just a day to spend giving thanks for all that we have to be grateful for; it’s also about dodging the minefield of drama that spending an afternoon around the dinner table with our extended families brings with it. Whether it’s arguing about impeachment proceedings, lifestyle choices, or any […]

Contrary to what you’ll see in most action movies, bullets don’t actually travel through water very effectively at all.

Police in Dresden, Germany are on the hunt for at least two suspects after a break-in at the Grünes Gewölbe museum (also commonly known as the Green Vault) resulted in the theft of around 100 pieces of royal jewels and jewelry. The officials say that the items were of “immeasurable worth,” including a 648-carat sapphire […]

On Thursday, Tesla unveiled their new (and unusual) pickup truck that looks a lot like how movies in the 1980s assumed cars would look like today. The Cybertruck is the sixth vehicle Tesla has unveiled since opening its doors in 2003; but this is the first of their vehicles intended for rugged off-road and utilitarian […]

Missile defense is an increasingly essential part of any nation’s military infrastructure as ballistic and cruise missiles become a more prevalent facet of modern combat operations, and aggressive nations inch closer to developing and fielding fully capably nuclear weapons. Among the NATO allies, there are multiple disparate systems and platforms capable of supporting the missile […]

It’s a staple of countless science fiction movies: the crew of a deep space faring vessel has a long trip ahead of them: So rather than lounging about inside the cramped quarters of their ship for months or years, they climb into machines that place them in a state of suspended animation, effectively freezing them […]

Moscow has reported that Russian Ground Forces (RGF) expect to receive the first dozen advanced T-14 Armata tanks as soon as next month or as late as early 2020.
