How Genesis embraced their sensitive side, scoring a crossover hit when they needed it most

In March 1978, The Sex Pistols were six months removed from their punk-defining debut album, Never Mind the Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols. The Clash were in the process of recording their firecracker second LP, Give 'Em Enough Rope. The supposed "New Wave" was in—and progressive rock, as a commercial and critical enterprise, was circling the drain.

Against this wobbly backdrop, Genesis entered Relight Studios in the Netherlands to record their ninth record (and first as a trio), ...And Then There Were Three...

A Reddit user named u/AhsewkaTano shared her experience of eating cottage cheese and baby carrots for lunch every single day. She estimated her daily carrot intake was around 300 grams—which, as she discovered, was more than enough to produce a bizarre side effect.

'Simpsons' fanatics rank the show's 6 creepiest Halloween episodes

The Simpsons, as of this writing, has existed for 37 seasons across 36 years—adding up to nearly 800 episodes, making it the longest-running animated sitcom.

It’s brought us some of the most influential scripted comedy ever, particularly during its early days, when the writers, animators, and voice actors seemed to defy some TV norm in every other episode. They were on fire back then. And they established one particularly unique tradition during Season Two: the Halloween-timed "Treehouse of Horror" episode, which adds a macabre twist to their regular style.

Dad was in tears seeing his firstborn—then he asked a question that floored hospital staff

Rosalie Marie, who posts on TikTok as @xx.rosaliee, shared a video of her husband, Jake, meeting their firstborn daughter. The context is what makes it so powerful: Rosalie had an emergency C-section, so Jake wasn't allowed in the room. He decided to film his own reaction to show his wife, who couldn't be there.

The Bee Gees' blissful a cappella 'How Deep Is Your Love' might just beat the classic original

Few pop groups have ever harmonized more beautifully than The Bee Gees, and the perfect proof comes from a somewhat unlikely place: a laid-back 1998 appearance on the British variety series Des O’Connor Tonight. The trio—brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb—were on hand to promote their most recent project, the live album and DVD One Night Only, when they accepted the host’s request to perform a "jam session" of musical "bits and pieces."

The most famous snippet from the segment is a gorgeous a cappella rendition of "How Deep Is Your Love," the hit soft-rock ballad from 1977’s multi-platinum Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. In the clip, Barry and Maurice are both equipped with acoustic guitars, but after failing to figure out an ideal key, they decide to tackle the tune without them—a move that only highlights the fullness and sweetness of their harmonies. The performance isn’t pitch-perfect, but that’s beside the point: The studio’s natural reverb elevates Barry’s chorus falsetto and then accentuates gracefulness of the melody, particularly the harmonic tension and release during the lines "'Cause we’re living in a world of fools / Breaking us down / When they all should let us be / They belong to you and me."

Experts claim we've all been wiping our butts the wrong way

Getting rid of your, er, waste is an uncomfortable subject. But we all do it, hopefully on the daily, and a few times if your digestion is up to it. We eat and then get rid of the stuff our bodies don't need, so we need to talk about clean-up after a bowel movement.

Curtis Asbury, MD a dermatologist practicing in Selbyville, Delaware, sees a lot of people complaining about irritation on their behinds. Patients will come into his office with an irritated rectum and emphatically proclaim they aren't doing anything wrong. His simple response, "You're not wiping correctly."
