  • 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 obvious where he was and what he was doing: organizing strikes is hardly clandestine. (He took refuge in East Germany, of all places.)

  • Does snuff porn actually exist? A look at the history of porn's most enduring legend.

    Filming a death doesn’t count unless the person’s been killed in order to make the movie possible, and the movie’s then sold on. Everyone knows snuff is an urban myth. A bogieman invented when, well… how did it come to pass? Until I saw this documentary I was sure there was a movie called ‘Snuff’ made in South America and mistakenly taken for real in Europe. Turns out I’m full of shit. Truth is the legend began with the murder of Sharon Tate by Charles Manson, rumored to have been filmed and then hidden, and grew as people started to cash in by making (terribly cheesy) films purporting to show…

  • 10 absurd inventions that prove you should never drink while inventing These are all real inventions and the illustrations are taken directly from their official patents.

    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 Seegert in his recently published book, It’s a Guy Thing: Awesome Real Innovations From the Underdeveloped Male Mind. The illustrations are the inventors’ actual drawings, taken directly from the official paperwork filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office. What…
