What’s the Difference Between a Boat and a Ship?

Adetunji Matthew -
The Supreme Court ruled last week in the case of Fane Lozman vs the City of Riviera Beach, Florida. They decided that Lozman’s 60-foot, two-story, motorless, rudderless floating home was not a boat or a vessel, and hence should not have been...

Where Did the Phrase “Caught Red Handed” Come From?

Adetunji Matthew -
https://youtu.be/LP44H9uKqN4 The expression “caught red handed” has its origins in Scotland around the 15th century. Given how it was used in the earliest references, the phrase “red hand” or “redhand” probably referred to people caught with blood on their hands...

How Do Smoke Alarms Work?

Adetunji Matthew -
https://youtu.be/bDZqNMGkmY4 The smoke alarms in my apartment building are both ridiculously sensitive and ridiculously loud. They regularly go off even when there’s no smoke, and I often have to scramble up on top of a chair to reset them because...

Why Does Popcorn Pop?

Adetunji Matthew -
First off, popcorn isn’t just any old corn. It’s a cultivated strain of flint corn known as zea mays everta. Its kernel is also a whole grain—it consists of the bran (the hull or outer covering), the germ (the “embryo”...

Can People Really Smell Fear?

Adetunji Matthew -
https://youtu.be/DTysnTMdkr0 Fictional characters, and even real-life folks, often talk about animals and people—particularly snarling dogs and knife-wielding lunatics—being able to “smell fear” on people. No one ever seems to be able to describe just what fear smells like, though. The lack...

When and Where Was the First Car Accident?

Adetunji Matthew -
https://youtu.be/Qahgi7U1Uz4 That depends on how you define a “car.” In 1869, Irish scientist Mary Ward was riding in a steam-powered automobile built by her cousins. As they rounded a bend in the road, Ward was thrown from her seat and...

Do Dogs and Cats Have Different Blood Types, Like Humans Do?

Adetunji Matthew -
https://youtu.be/5cPrZhq9wWU Yes. And our pets sometimes need transfusions, too, so it’s always handy to know what type of blood Spot or Fluffy has (if he or she has had any blood work done, the vet will have this information). Feline blood...

How Do 3D Glasses Work?

Adetunji Matthew -
https://youtu.be/M2GKdn2vHaU Stereoscopy—the illusion of depth created by showing a separate image to each eye—is at least as old as photography itself. In the last few years, however, stereoscopic 3D movies have come back in a big way. Theaters show you...

Why Do So Many Countries End in “-stan”?

Adetunji Matthew -
https://youtu.be/Kg8BGzW72Zs Who put the bomp in the bomp bah bomp bah bomp? Who put the -stan in Afghanistan? I don’t know about the former, but we can thank the Proto-Indo-Europeans for the latter. These folks spoke the Proto-Indo-European language (PIE), a prehistoric Eurasian language...

Why Does Your Stomach Growl?

Adetunji Matthew -
https://youtu.be/J2lUTA6d2YU The growlings in your gut are known as borborygmi among people who like to use technical terms, a cool little word we picked up from the Greek borboryzein ("to rumble").
