It had been a while since I had thrown a baby shower, but this past summer I had the opportunity to throw a Baby Shower Barbecue. In search of ideas, I did a search on a variety of my favorite blogs. Nowadays, when it comes time to search for new ideas or awesome recipes, I throw in “blog” or “mom blog” at the end of the search term. I have found that I get more specific results, with great pictures and detailed instructions. As a “mommy” blogger myself, I know that the majority of bloggers w...

In 1782, an English plumber named William Watts came up with a clever method for making shotgun ammo. Watts constructed a six story "shot tower", consisting of a series of perfectly lined up holes, drilled into all six floors of the structure.

The cushioned impact resulted in a perfectly formed bullet.
Though it's unlikely you'll ever have a need for hostage survival skills, it never hurts to take in a few tips on what to do in the event of being accosted by Somali pirates off the Horn of Africa.

Here at WonderHowTo, we love science. And of course, explosions. So, naturally we find Gray Matter's demonstration of fiery hydrogen bubbles pretty awesome.

This weekend in a jungle estuary, the DEA and local Ecuadorian police seized a prototype narco sub that may be the most sophisticated one yet.

But a drug lord in Cartagena would make you one...

This is the reason players can't wear chains around their necks, or rings in their fingers, since these things can get caught with other pl...

You can only imagine Jimmy Page's reaction to first seeing him in 1968, ending his search for a new drummer to form a new band, the New Yardbirds (later renamed Led Zeppelin.)

Basically, you will not be able to update or install any tools onto your Kali distribution.

You can always buy...
