The Itchy Truth About Head Lice And Why They’re So Hard to Beat
For as long as humans have had hair, we’ve had company—tiny, bloodsucking freeloaders called head lice. These sesame seed-sized pests have been a part of human history for at least 10,000 years, and despite our best efforts, they just won’t go away.
Lice don’t jump, fly, or hitchhike on hats as much as people think. They spread mostly through head-to-head contact, crawling from one scalp to another in search of their next meal. Once settled, they pierce the skin, inject anti-clotting saliva (hello, itchiness!), and start laying eggs, gluing them onto hair shafts with a waterproof, chemical-resistant sheath.
That’s why lice shampoos alone don’t always work—while they kill live lice, they leave the eggs intact. Scientists are looking for new ways to break down these stubborn nit sheaths, but for now, the best tool remains one as old as civilization itself: the fine-toothed nit comb.
Watch below to uncover the itchy truth about these stubborn scalp squatters!

The Game of Jaws Returns for Its 50th Anniversary: Bigger Boat Not Included
It’s back. It’s hungry. And it’s coming for your fingers.
NECA is resurrecting The Game of Jaws for its 50th anniversary, giving a whole new generation the chance to experience the heart-pounding terror of reaching into a giant shark’s stomach. First released in 1975 alongside Spielberg’s blockbuster, this updated edition features a detailed 15-inch great white that looks like it’s been waiting 50 years to take revenge on your hand.
The goal? Reach into the belly of the beast and retrieve a bizarre assortment of lost treasures—a boot, an anchor, fish bones, even a skull (who was that guy?). But be careful: one wrong move, and SNAP! You’ll be pulling back a stump.
Originally made by Ideal, this game turned childhood game nights into stress-inducing survival exercises. Now, thanks to NECA, it’s back to make your friends jump, your heart race, and your game nights way more exciting.
So, are you brave enough to take on Bruce?
(Duh-nuh… duh-nuh… you get the idea.)
Oh, and for those who haven’t seen the original movie, the “bigger boat not included” reference in the headline is in reference to this scene:

The Unexpected Legend of WD-40: From Cold War to Household Hero
WD-40 isn’t just a can of lubricant—it’s a legend. Found in garages, toolboxes, and even military survival kits, this little blue can has over 2,000 uses, from silencing squeaky hinges to protecting spacecraft. But its origins? Stranger than you might expect. Born in the high-stakes world of the Cold War, WD-40 was never meant for household fixes—it was designed to keep America’s first intercontinental ballistic missiles from rusting. Through trial, error, and 39 failed attempts, a team of chemists created a formula so effective that it didn’t just save missiles—it found its way into homes, workshops, and even history itself.
This video explores the fascinating journey of WD-40, from a missile maintenance solution to a household essential with some of the strangest applications you can imagine. Check it out!
