If you’re a painter, you are expected to use the same style in all of your works. If you are a singer, you are expected to perform your really big hit every chance you get. Get a few years (or even a few decades) of this, and you might begin to loathe your own creation. 10Radiohead“Creep” Just to establish its credentials, “Creep” was Radiohead’s first single. It was the song that made them famous and popular, and VH1 named it the 31st best song of the ’90s....

10 Jinn Islamic theology holds that human beings were created from water and clay, angels from light, and jinn from smokeless fire. While many believe the jinn to be simple spirits, others have suggested that jinn means “foreigner,” suggesting an extraterrestrial origin.

10Douglas Mawson Douglas Mawson is considered to be one of the key explorers during the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. In fact, Mawson was a part of the famed Nimrod Expedition, led by Ernest Shackleton, that was the first to try and reach the South Pole. In 1911, Mawson was put in charge of his own team called the Australasian Antarctic Expedition. The entire endeavor would last over a year.

Criteria for this list is that the cover in question must have been actually printed up and released, and due to an outcry, was either altered or outright banned for later releases. I’m omitting sleeves that were simply covered up with opaque wrapping so as to hide the “offending” artwork, but otherwise are unchanged. John & Yoko’s Two Virgins is an example of this approach, and so does not make my list....

10Kleptoparisitism Stealing meat from lions seems like a poor choice. However, the Mbororo herdsmen of Cameroon have done it for centuries. They use flaming sticks to chase big cats from kills. The technique is common among large predators but otherwise little documented in man. With lions growing increasingly wary of people, kleptoparistism has become easier for humans. Reports from Cameroon, Uganda, and Tanzania indicate the practice is on the upswing. This is bad news for big cats....

10Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis For many patients, anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis—a recently discovered autoimmune disease that causes the brain to swell—initially presents psychiatric symptoms such as hallucinations, violent outbursts, and delusions. Patients appear to be possessed by demons, and most of them will develop seizures and involuntary movements within a few days. But the neurological symptoms may be subtle and easy to miss. Dr. Souhel Najjar, an anti-NMDA expert, believes that as many as 90 percent of these cases have been misdiagnosed....

10 Swim FinsBenjamin Franklin Benjamin Franklin has a long list of accomplishments in numerous fields, so it should come as no surprise that he was an inquisitive child.

His solution was a set of wooden fins which were worn on the hands instead of the feet....

10Iceland’s Elves When the Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration set about completing a road that would help connect the Alftanes peninsula with the rest of the country, groups were outraged. Part of the problem was environmental, with some saying that the road was going to destroy bird habitats and not a few of Iceland’s most beautiful lava formations. But another huge part of the outcry was on behalf of Iceland’s oldest native creatures: their elves....

10The Peltasts Peltasts were Greek light infantrymen and skirmishers of the late fifth century. Usually recruited from the ranks of Thracian mercenaries and citizenry, they were the original peasant army. They were most often armed with spears, javelins, or slings, and they used light shields called pelts, from which they get their name. The peltast forces would open a battle, launching their javelin or sling attacks, and then retreat to let the better-protected phalanx move in....

Memorable Lines: I’m an individual, yeah, but I’m part of a movement / My movement told me be a consumer and I consumed it / They told me to just do it / I listened to what that swoosh said. Macklemore’s masterpiece, using Nike’s multimillion dollar branding campaign, famed logo and slogan as an example to convey his message, is about consumerism and dreams and how companies pretty up their products and sell nothing more than a brand nowadays for prices that are thinly veiled as ridiculous....

10Nader Shah Eighteenth-century Iran wan’t a great place to grow up. The mighty Safavid Empire had recently crumbled and the Iranian foothills were dominated by petty warlords and chieftains fighting to control the remaining Safavids.

Born to a shepherd, he was captured by slavers before the age of 10, then escaped and joined a band of wandering brigands, before rising to become a powerful local chieftain....

More than a few of these files expose dark and unethical conspiracies. But hidden among them are a few mundane files that usually get overlooked. In them, a different side of the CIA comes out. Not everything the CIA does, it turns out, is part of some ingenious evil plan. In fact, a lot of it is downright ridiculous. As it turns out, the people behind this dark, shadowy organization are just people—and they’re every bit as stupid, geeky, and vain as the rest of us....

The pottery, which was in use about 6,000 years ago, contained traces of lipid deposits, which came from fish, shellfish, and deer, and after comparing other trace residues to more than 120 different types of plants, they found that the prehistoric chefs were using garlic mustard to flavor the dishes....

Here are 10 technologies that represent early attempts to give consumers the kind of unbridled access that we now take for granted. 10Phone-Based Services Before the advent of personal computers, the only ubiquitous devices through which a two-way flow of information could be conducted was the telephone. Therefore, much of the information available at a glance from our smartphones today was first made conveniently available through phone-based services. For example, nearly every populated area in the US at one time had a number one could call for the current time and temperature, many of which had operated since near the turn of the century, and some of which are still in use today....
