Sworders' upcoming 'Out of the Ordinary' auction gathers 479 lots of uncanny bric-a-brac, from Dark-Ages pentagram rings to voodoo altarpieces and a petrified child's chimney shoe. The catalogue reads like the inventory of a wizard's attic, but two curios stand out even...

Verizon has confirmed it will raise customer fees despite announcing a three-year price lock in April. The carrier said the 'vast majority' of customers will see increases of 'less than 30 cents.' A Reddit thread cited by The Verge suggests the Administrative and Telco...
This video offers a detailed, yet hilarious look at COSplaying Homeland Security Barbie and Puppy Slayer, Kristi Noem. From an abusive Dad who died earning a Darwin Award, to developing a hilariously terrible anti-drug campaign, it'd be easier to laugh at Kristi Noem if...
Major video game publishers have abandoned plans to sell new releases at $80 after initially signaling support for the elevated price point earlier this year, according to Bloomberg. Microsoft reversed course in late July, announcing The Outer Worlds 2 and other holiday...
Running a modern mail server is a complicated business. In part, this complication is caused by the series of incrementally developed practices designed to combat the huge flood of spam that dominates modern email communication. An unfortunate side effect is that it...

In this hilarious video, a woman's cat only comes running over when she sings The Hampster Dance Song. The cat's actual name? Doesn't work. Only the chorus to The Hampster Dance will get the kitty's attention. This video is just another reason added to the long list of...
This peculiar palm tree in Peru, shared by Atlas Obscura, grows like a serpent across the ground, and locals trim one of its 'heads' to ward off disaster. In Cachiche, near the city of Ica, the 'Palmera de Siete Cabezas' (Seven-headed Palm Tree) has become both a tourist...
