Las Vegas police publish pics of 50 most prolific prostitutes An unique attempt at combatting their worst-kept secret.

The rest of the world may appreciate Las Vegas’s reputation as the epicenter of unbridled debauchery, but Sin City’s police and prosecutors are trying out a new way to crack down on vice in their city: by publishing the names and photos of the women with the longest prostitution-related criminal records in Clark County. Some have criticized the “50 Most Prolific Prostitutes” list as overly aggressive, suggesting that it could…

The finest film foxes of the fifties Let's brush up on babe history.

It might be hard to imagine that hot, gorgeous, and (dare I say it) sexy women existed before the internet, before Playboy, and even before color television. It’s easy to dismiss them at first, because all of those old movies and news reels are just reminiscent of your parents and/or grandparents. What’s hard to admit, though, is that there’s a good chance that your own grandma was a foxy babe…

This chimp is motoring his way around on a Segway The possibilities for this are endless. The world has entered a new era.

And now here’s one riding a segway, and even though he could do with some practice, it can ride it better than Bush could, but that’s no real surprise. Watch this video on YouTube Watching that little chimp motor his way about…

Powerful x-rays made from…sticky tape?! Mind blown.

If I hadn’t watched a video of two science guys I’ve never met, performing this experiment and speaking with authoritative voices, I would never have believed it. Because that’s the kind of solid proof I need. (It’s real though) Watch this video on YouTube   Who would’ve thought something so simple and seemingly innocent would be fraught with such hidden dangers? Also – I’ve been using sticky tape for years, does…

Are you being followed? How can you tell if you're being followed? Don't bother looking for men peering around corners. The secret to identifying a tail is all in the shoes...

So, you think you’re being followed. Two questions: first, who do you think you are? Are you really so secret and important that someone is prepared to spend time and money watching where you’re going? During the 1980s miners’ strikes the press reported that an associate of Arthur Scargill fled the United Kingdom, convinced that the British “secret police” were following him. Why should they? It would have been perfectly…

People are always looking for ways to make other people’s lives easier, keep us from killing ourselves, and make us more attractive to women – and also make a buck in the process (of course). But sometimes a few of us definitely go a little too far when channeling our inner Thomas Edison (who was kind of an asshole, btw). Here are some real, honest-to-goodness patented inventions unearthed by Scott…

Does Trump have a time machine? Tesla's stolen research, and some freaky coincidences. Here's my theory.

Nikola Tesla died on January 7, 1943 and the world mourned the passing of a great mind. Especially Serbia – Tesla’s homeland – which at the time was a loose confederation of potato farming communes not generally known for thinking much about anything. Two days later, FBI NYC notified Hoover of Tesla’s death and shared a report that his safe has been raided by family and colleagues. The Office of…

The mystery of Larry Wachowski Could the co-creator of The Matrix real life truly be stranger than fiction?

Originally published January 12, 2006 in RollingStone (archive: archive.is/Y1xcB) and disappeared at some point since then. We can’t be sure of the reason for this disappearance (possible clue in the next link), but it will most certainly never be republished or made available again by the far-left magazine. One night in January 2001, Larry Wachowski, co-director of the blockbuster Matrix movies, walked into a dark club in West Hollywood, where…
