The 10 Longest Reigning Popes In History
Saint Peter, who was the first Bishop of Rome and the first pope, is thought to have reigned for over 30 years, but the exact length is not known. The current office-holder is Pope Benedict XVI, who was elected in a papal conclave on 19 April 2005 and is expected to hold office until today, 28 February 2013, the date on which he has said he will resign.
He will become the first pope to resign since Pope Gregory XII in 1415, and the first to do so voluntarily since Pope Celestine V in 1294. The average length of the 265 papacies, prior to that of Benedict XVI, is about 7.2 years. Who are the 10 longest reigning popes?

Lago Epecuén: The Lake That Drowned A Thriving Tourist Village
Villa Epecuén was a tourist village that was located in the Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. The tourist village dates from the early 1920s. Large number of visitors arrived from Buenos Aires via railway lines seeking the lake's therapeutic salt water. There were 280 businesses, including lodges, guesthouses, and hotels.
The town reached 1,500 inhabitants. On November 10, 1985 an enormous volume of salt water broke the rock and earth dam, and inundated much of the town. The town had 33 ft of water in the streets. Today Villa Epecuén has a lone resident, Pablo Novak, who returned to his home after the flood waters receded.
High School Basketball Player Passes Ball To Mentally Challenged Player On The Other Team
Peter Morales, the boys basketball coach at Coronado High School in El Paso, Texas has a soft spot for his team manager, a developmentally disabled boy named Mitchell. Having never played an actual game for Coronado, Mitchell was the heart and soul of the team, giving motivation and strength to his teammates.
Still, as much as he loved his role with the team, his desire to play was as strong as ever, and during the final minute of the final game, Mitchell finally got his chance. What happened was unexpected and became an amazing example of sportsmanship.

The Worst Lies That Mainstream Nutrition Has Told You
When it comes to our food choices, many of us do the best we can to ensure that what we're putting on our plates are the healthiest and most nutritious foods possible. But given so many choices, it's not easy to know exactly what we should be eating - so we put our trust in conventional wisdom, common sense, and what the experts have to say.
But what if the experts are wrong? A lot of the science is now showing that many commonly held beliefs about what a healthy diet should look like are utterly wrong. Here are the top 11 biggest lies, myths, and misconceptions told to us by mainstream nutrition.

How Much Is Doctor Who's TARDIS Worth?
The TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimension in Space) is a time machine and spacecraft in the British science fiction television programme
Doctor Who and its associated spin-offs. A TARDIS is a product of the advanced technology of the Time Lords, an extraterrestrial civilisation to which the programme's central character, the Doctor, belongs.
The interior of a TARDIS is much larger than its exterior. But how big is Doctor Who's TARDIs exactly and what is it worth?

Why Did Men Stop Wearing High Heels?
For generations they have signified femininity and glamour - but a pair of high heels was once an essential accessory for men. Beautiful, provocative, sexy - high heels may be all these things and more, but even their most ardent fans wouldn't claim they were practical.
They're no good for hiking or driving. They get stuck in things. Women in heels are advised to stay off the grass - and also ice, cobbled streets and posh floors. And high heels don't tend to be very comfortable. It is almost as though they just weren't designed for walking in. Originally, they weren't.

Dutch Prison Transformed Into Luxury Hotel
It was previously a place from which people desperately wanted to leave. As one of the Netherlands' most feared prisons for almost 150 years, Het Arresthuis in the city of Roermond was not a place you would want to stay. But following its closure and something of a makeover, people are now paying good money to spend a night at the former jail.
The 105 prisoner's quarters have been converted into 40 spacious rooms, including 24 standard rooms, 12 deluxe rooms, and four suites, all of which feature modern furnishings and chic interior design. All of the rooms are equipped with air conditioning, a flat screen TV, free WiFi, and even a personal coffee and tea machine.

8 Unforgettable Examples Of Land Art
Land art or Earth art is an art movement in which the landscape and the work of art are inextricably linked. It's also an art form that is created in nature, using natural materials such as soil, rock (bed rock, boulders, stones), organic media (trees, grass) and water. The works frequently exist in the open, located well away from civilization, left to change and erode under natural conditions.

15 Scary And Ominous Photos of Dust Storms
A dust storm is a meteorological phenomenon common in arid and semi-arid regions. Dust storms arise when a gust front or other strong wind blows loose sand and dirt from a dry surface. Particles are transported by saltation and suspension, a process that moves soil from one place and deposits it in another.
New Research Sheds Light On How Dogs Became Dogs
At first blush, the emergence of man's best friend is pretty straightforward. The first dogs descended from wolves in Europe about 14,000 years ago. Then humans domesticated those proto-dogs until the eventual animal known as a 'dog' had many of the traits we associated with the animal today.
That much of the evolutionary history of the modern dog has been clearly understood. But further research suggests that that European dog is not the ancestor of all our dogs; instead, every modern Western dog hails from a Southeast Asian progenitor lineage. Why did some upstart Southeast Asian lineage triumph, even in Europe, instead of the endemic European one? Turns out, it might have to do
with your pet dog's affinity for Cheetos.

Alberobello - Hobbiton On The Mediterranean
One glance at the Italian village of Alberobello and you know that you have stumbled across something unique. Neat rows of whitewashed dwellings like something out of a fairy-tale. It's almost as if the Hobbits of Middle-earth had set up a Mediterranean colony.
These strange but charming dwellings are known as trulli. They are built without using mortar, part of a drywall culture of construction which predates written history in this part of Italy. Many of the trulli are around six hundred years old - the large slabs of limestone from which they are built were gathered from fields in the area.

From Quacks To Quaaludes: Three Centuries Of Drug Advertising
In his book Polyanthea Medicinal (Lisbon, 1697), a Portuguese doctor and seller of secret remedies named João Curvo Semedo listed hundreds of early drug recipes. The substances listed as medicinal drugs in Polyanthea Medicinal run the gamut from dog feces to powdered pearls, and from ordinary table salt to mysterious stones 'found on the beach of Casomdama in the Kingdom of Angola,' which, 'after being put in wounds caused by any venomous beast, will draw out the venom.'
10 Lost Cities And Mythical Civilisations Of The Ancient World
Over the course of many centuries, countless things are lost. Books, ideas, buried kings - even entire cities.

The Most Worthless Coin In The World
This month the Canadian mint stopped distributing the penny, or one-cent piece, as it costs more to make than it is worth. It's far from being the lowest-value coin around, however. Some central banks are clinging on to coins that are truly 'small change.' There are many precedents for scrapping small coins. The US abolished the half-cent in 1857 and the UK's halfpenny was withdrawn in 1984. New Zealand and Australia abandoned the one-cent and two-cent coin in the 1990s.
But there are coins, still legal tender, that have even lower value. Take the Burmese Pya - a US cent is worth 850 of these. The lowest-value coin of all is the Tiyin from Uzbekistan. About 2,000 equate to one US cent.

It hovers, it hums - but it is not a hummingbird. Closer inspection would reveal a surprising lack of avian characteristics and you would be forced to re-assess the situation.

In truth, it isn't actually a tongue. But if it isn't, what on earth is it? Take a look at one of, if not the most amazing, certainly the coolest insects on the planet - The Hummingbird Hawk Moth.

Most Poisonous Frogs On The Planet
Many frogs contain mild toxins that make them unpalatable to potential predators. Some of them, such as poison dart frogs, are especially toxic. The chemical makeup of toxins in frogs varies from irritants to hallucinogens, convulsants, nerve poisons, and vasoconstrictors. Many predators of frogs have adapted to tolerate high levels of these poisons. Others, including humans, may be severely affected.

Each Rubik's cube had to be solved by hand and placed onto panels before being assembled. The amazing mosaic has been designed by Toronto-based Rubik's enthusiasts Cube Works Studio.

Giant Trees At The Cambodian Temple Of Ta Prohm
Ta Prohm is a temple at Angkor, Cambodia, built in the late 12th and early 13th centuries. Located east of Angkor Thom, Ta Prohm has been left in much the same condition in which it was found.
Huge trees, reminiscent of ancient redwoods and oaks, are blended into the walls, and rocks hugging the giant roots gives the temple a surreal appearance. The photogenic and atmospheric combination of trees growing out of the ruins and the jungle surroundings have made it one of Angkor's most popular temples with visitors.
Here's a 360° panorama of Ta Prohm.

Krampnitz: Potsdam's Abandoned Nazi And Soviet Military Complex

It's not surprising that Krampnitz doesn't attract many visitors, and intrepid explorers are likely to find themselves alone, except for creepy reminders of the facility's former occupants, including an imposing mosaic of a Nazi eagle - a symbol of Hitler's Third Reich - and Cold War-era Russian newspapers.

Black Is Beautiful: Why Black Dolls Matter
When Samantha Knowles was 8 years old, one of her friends innocently asked 'Why do you have black dolls?' And she didn't know quite what to say. She had never considered why her Barbies, her American Girl dolls, and her Cabbage Patch Kids were black like her.
Now, at 22, the Brooklyn filmmaker has made a documentary to answer that question. As it turns out, many black doll collectors didn't have black dolls as a child, because they weren't that common. Collectors Weekly did a deep dive into doll history to find out why.

On July 19, 2012, an eruption occurred on the sun that produced all three.

7 Words That Came About From People Getting Them Wrong
You know what a pea is. But did you know that originally the word was 'pease,' and it was singular.

The older form lives on in the nursery rhyme 'Pease-porridge hot, pease-porridge cold.'

The Mao Mango Cult Of 1968 And The Rise Of China's Working Class
For about a year and a half, mango imagery dominated Chinese propaganda posters, textiles, enamelware, and common household goods such as pencil tins and mirrors.
One week after Mao dissolved the Red Guards, Pakistan's foreign minister, Mian Arshad Hussain, and his wife met with the Chairman. And because China is a gift-giving society, Mr. Hussain brought a case of mangoes with him, in the same way that you or I might stop off at the liquor store on the way to a party to pick up a bottle of wine so we don't arrive empty handed.
The next day, Mao delivered a message to the workers, who were still stationed at Qinghua University, designating them as the 'permanent managers' of the nation's education system. Accompanying the message was the untouched case of Pakistani mangoes. In the days to come, much would be made of Mao’s 'refusal to eat the fruit,' which was interpreted as 'a sacrifice' on the Chairman's part 'for the benefit of the workers.'

Mexico's Creepiest Place: Isla de las Muñecas
The Island Of The Dolls (Isla de las Muñecas), located in the vast network of canals that lies to the south of Mexico City, near Xochimilco is one of the creepiest tourist attractions in Mexico. Here, among the branches and dead trees hang hundreds of old, mutilated dolls.
The story goes that half a century ago a little girl drowned off a small island hidden deep amongst the canals of Xochimico. The island's only permanent inhabitant was a hermit named Don Julián Santana Barrera, who despite having a wife and family, chose to live alone on the island. Soon after the girl's death Barrera fished out one doll after another from the canals. Convinced that this was a sign from the evil spirit, Don Julian Santana began hanging the dolls on trees to protect himself from evil and calm the spirit of the dead girl. Soon Don Julián had made the entire island into a shrine.

10 Famously Exonerated Death Row Inmates
Each of the ten men on this list was wrongly convicted, sentenced to death, and exonerated years later. We can't even begin to imagine the kind of psychological damage spending time in prison must cause when you know that you're innocent but practically no one believes you. And all the while, you're waiting to die.
Even once they're freed, the rehabilitation process for such inmates must be emotionally intense. In some sense, these men will never escape the stigma attached to them due to the crimes of which they were wrongfully accused. Yet with the right kind of counseling and guidance, perhaps people subjected to such miscarriages of justice can learn to let go, move on, and enjoy the rest of their lives.
