Today I learned:.
Why is a shot called a shot? . A shot is called a shot because in the Wild West, they didn't carry cash on them, but they all carried bullets. So, at the bar, they could slap a bullet on the bar and ask for "a shot's worth of whiskey." At the end of the day, the owner would swap.

Yesterday marked three years since the Abraham Accords were announced, so now seems like a good time to re-share my experience as a Jew living in the United Arab Emirates. An experience that all started eight years ago with a (broken) promise to Mom:
I moved to the UAE in 2015 as a 21-year-old and promised my (crazy) loving mother two things:. 1) I’d wear my seatbelt anytime I was in a car. 2) I wouldn’t tell anyone I was Jewish. Now, over six years later, I reflect on my Jewish life in the UAE and how things have changed:.

Ok so maybe I’ve been living under a rock but I’m watching a documentary on North Korea and just found out how Kim Jong-nam was assassinated?. As in, the half brother of Kim Jong Un?. It starts in 2016 when a guy who goes by “James” - a purported TV producer - approaches Siti

If you like stories about trolls like Spencer M. Clark (and who doesn't?), then you'll love this one:.
With a population of "normally like two people", it’s the world's smallest country (seen here). But where Sealand lacks in size, it most certainly doesn’t lack in shocking history…. One that includes the Russian mafia, helicopter sneak attacks, and a whole lot more. A story:
