The Museum of Sex in NY — Go Here

Jackie Mancini — Fri, 17 May 2013 20:00:58 +0000

Located on Fifth Avenue in lower Manhattan, the Museum of Sex is uh, pretty much what it sounds like. Believe it or not, New York was not the first place to have a sex museum. Way back in mid-18th century Italy, the Museo Borbonico was built near Naples in order to house (read: hide) sexually [...]

Pluto's Gate to Hell – Go Here

Mike Adams — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 18:00:25 +0000

In the ancient Phrygian city of Hierapolis, a group of archaeologists recently discovered what they believe to be Plutoâ€™s Gate, a celebrated and infamous portal into the underworld of Greco-Roman mythology that was once believed to be, quite literally, one of the gates into the depths of hell. The find was uncovered in what is [...]

Muff Diver Sportfishing Charters in Maryland — Go Here

Mike Adams — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 16:00:10 +0000

What better way to spend a summer weekend than doing a little offshore muff diving in the Chesapeake Bay? Though the marina can be a great place to be lewd, we assure you that there is nothing provocative going on at the White Marlin Marina aboard Muff Diver Sportfishing Charters in downtown Ocean City, Maryland.

What Country Is Friendliest to Tourists? (Hint: It's Not the U.S.)

Drew Weisholtz — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 14:26:47 +0000

If you’re looking for a little international adventure, there’s one place you may be surprised to learn will welcome you with open arms. The World Economic Forum has published a 500-page report on global tourism that includes a ranking of countries that are nice to tourists. What tops the list? Iceland. The nation edged New [...]

Any Interest in a $1K Easter Egg? You're in Luck — Go Here

Chris Illuminati — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 12:58:55 +0000

Ever frequent a restaurant just for the deserts? I’m talking about places more decadent than Friendly’s and their Fribble. Sugar and Plumm is that kind of joint. Sure, the food is great too, but the deserts are like an outtake from Willy Wonka’s wet dreams. This Easter, S&P is offering a $1,000 Easter egg for [...]

Go Here: Star Trek Museum in Vulcan, Alberta

Jackie Mancini — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:57:32 +0000

Remember when we used to make fun of Canadians? We'd laugh and laugh about how silly it was to live in the tundra, and how they had funny accents and rode caribou and stuff. Then they got universal health care, and we all sort of shut up. Well, they also have a Star Trek Museum in a town called Vulcan. We're looking dumber by the day.

Go Here: Mütter Museum in Philadelphia

Jackie Mancini — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 18:59:35 +0000

I tend to have a pretty short attention span at history museums, unless they are one of two thing: interactive, or disturbing. TheÂ MÃ¼tter Museum, aÂ museum of medical history, is definitely the latter, and so it’s thankfully not the former. You would not want to interact with the kind of twisted things they’ve got on display, [...]

Go Here: Centralia — Abandoned Mine Fire and Ghost Town in Pennsylvania

Jackie Mancini — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 21:59:50 +0000

When people ask my why I won’t watch horror movies, I tell them that I’ve never seen ‘Silent Hill’ because Centralia exists, and it’s creepy enough. In 1962 a mine fire began under Centralia, a borough in Columbia County, PA. The fire was so big that it could not be contained. By 1981, only 1,000 [...]

Go Here: South of the Border

Jackie Mancini — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 17:00:33 +0000

Usually when I'm traveling, I avoid kitschy tourist stuff like the plague. Most often it's has little to do with the actual culture of the place I'm visiting, and I get bored pretty easily. The infamous South of the Border (SOTB) is an exception, though. Seated on the line between North and South Carolina, this 1950s roadside mecca is nothing but kitsch, and its massive scale and outdated motif make it a place worth visiting.

Go Here: The 1UP Arcade Bar in Denver, CO

Jackie Mancini — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 18:00:27 +0000

While our weekend COD and pizza binges are always a good time, it's also nice to have interactions with other humans sometimes. At least that's what we've heard. If you love video games and aren't paralyzingly agoraphobic, arcades are a good time. Sadly, we lose more of them every day, but this one in Colorado is alive and well, and worth the trip.

Go Here: Underwater Hotel Room in Maldives

Jackie Mancini — Thu, 03 Jan 2013 17:13:51 +0000

“From birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulders. He is bolted to earth. But man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free.Â ” -Jacques Yves CousteauÂ The ocean is the final undiscovered frontier on earth, and this is one of many reasons why it is such an exciting place [...]

Go Here: Coney Island Polar Bear Club New Year's Swim in NY

Jackie Mancini — Wed, 02 Jan 2013 16:00:52 +0000

Some people believe that the way you spend the first day of the new year is an indication of how the rest of your your year will be. If this holds any water, my 2013 is going to be really weird, and really awesome. I grew up in Brooklyn. Wait, not so fast; not cool [...]

Go Here: Skunk Ape Research HQ in Florida

Jackie Mancini — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 17:05:12 +0000

If you’re on a quest for Big Foot, head on down to the Florida Everglades and you’ll be in good company.Â A Skunk Ape — the technical term for Big Foot’s biped species — is allegedly six to seven feet tall and weighs between 350 to 450 pounds. According to the SARH, there are between [...]
