65 Years Later, A First Look At Sunken American WWII Ship

The world is such a massive and amazing place that you can travel anywhere and find something that's really, really cool. Interestingly, oceans take up a vast amount of the Earth and are one of the things that we have a hard time fully grasping. That's probably because we're land animals and don't fare very well underwater, but with recent advancements in all kinds of technology, ocean exploration is only becoming easier and easier. Scientists are now using remotely-operated vehicles to explore wreckages and all other sorts of things. Their ability to do so allows them to go places that they normally couldn't safely go, which is exactly how they laid eyes on the USS Independence for the first time in 65 years. While it was still afloat, the USS Independence served as an aircraft carrier during World War II. Since the uses were limited following the war, the ship was nuked. In 1951, they blew it up 30 miles west of San Francisco and it hasn't been...

This Tricky Equation Has Several Answers That People Are Missing

A simple equation is getting some attention online because no one seems to agree on the answer. The trick for this equation is that there are four possible answers! Let's take a look at it, shall we? Leave a COMMENT on Facebook letting us know what answer or answers you got.  Obviously, six added to four doesn't equal four. Your task is to change one of the many line segments, which can include both symbols and numbers, to make the equation true.  Believe it or not, there are four ways to make this work.  It may seem easy, but people have had a hard time getting all four answers.  Okay, let's go through one simple way to make the equation work.  The first way is to move the green line on the six to make it a zero.  This satisfies the answer four.  Let's go on to the next solution... The next way is to move the vertical blue line from the six and place it on top of the number four in the answer making nin...

15 Animal Hybrids You'll Wish Actually Existed

I am an animal lover. As a kid, I was the one who would beg my mum to let me keep whatever animal we found, whether it was a puppy, a new cat, a hamster, or baby geese (which we did get to keep for a few days!). Time wore on and my animal hoarding impulses were slowly repressed. I now have only one cat, much to my dismay. In order to fill the farm-sized hole in my heart, I like to look at pictures of animals online. Kittens in planters, pigs in teacups, dogs being reunited with soldiers — you name it, I'm there. But I inevitably end up wanting more animals whenever I do this, which is where animal hybrids come in. These little buddies are so cool and adorable, but there's no chance of ever adopting one. While I think that's a great feature, I also wish that they actually existed. Thanks for nothing, Monsanto. Which of these hybrids do you wish you could take home? Let us know in the comments! 1.

7 Of The Most Restricted Places On Earth

Humanity has made an amazing amount of progression. It's almost hard to believe that, at one point, there were no vehicles, planes, or technology in general. At one point, expecting to travel the world was such an absurd notion, especially because there wasn't generally a reliable means of knowing exactly where you were. Well, now we're able to do all of those things with relative ease. It's really easy to forget that the internet is just a bunch of data that needs to be stored somewhere. Well, believe it or not, people usually hide that data in heavily fortified areas, like old WWII structures. It goes without saying that those places are off-limits to the public, but they're not the only places that are. Here are 7 of the most restricted places on the planet. 1. Club 33, United States Club 33 was originally a restaurant in Disneyland. It ended up becoming a secret club that Walt Disney used to entertain high-class people. A secret panel in the doorway...
