Warrant is an American glam metal band that experienced a fair amount of success in the late '80s and early '90s, before going into relative obscurity once glam metal started to decline in popularity. They actually had many songs that did well in the charts, but far and away their best known song is "Cherry…
I am referring to the sitcom on CBS, not the actual theory. The economics of the actual theory would be much harder to quantify. So, I like "The Big Bang Theory", it's a funny show with funny characters and smart writing. It's even pretty realistic, because apparently they hired an actual physicist to consult with…
For the better part of my youth there wasn't much of a decision to be made when it came to what shoes to wear. I pretty much just wore tennis shoes every day except the times when my parents forced me to dress up. Life was simple and easy, and those were great times. But as…

The only thing I really know about it is that the term "paella" refers not to the dish but to the large pan in which it is cooked. And that's probably all most non-Spanish people know about it.…
I started deadlifting a few months ago, and it has proven to be an excellent exercise for total body strength. As a novice deadlifter, I was (and still am) constantly worried about injuring my back, as deadlifts are often given this nasty reputation (and also the most common excuse people give for not doing them). I've…
So often in life we are forced to learn things without really understanding why. It's the classic "wax on, wax off" mantra from The Karate Kid; you spend some amount of time learning or doing something that doesn't seem to have any relevance, and then one day your teacher shows you how important it is.
