It’s Spooktober! As usual, I’m trying to watch more horror movies during October than I do the rest of the year. I never stop watching this kind of movie, but it’s a tradition, so I do my best to put more thrills on the screens. Anyway, I mixed classics and recent releases, and I was…
Having been a reader of the National Geographic Magazine for many years, I’ve always been intrigued by the American National Parks. Maybe one day I’ll come to this part of the world and explore them. In the meantime, I thought of writing about their creation! What Was the First National Park in America? The answer…
I am a Sagittarius. I don’t know what that could mean, except that I was born between November 22 and December 21. That said, for some who are into astrology, it seems to have more meaning and I was curious to know where does that came from. So, I looked into it: Who created Astrology?…
Some time ago, I wrote about Philo Farnsworth, a man who played a big role in the development of the television set. That’s when I thought it would be a good idea to complement this article with a history of the creation of television. Now, it’s time to do exactly that. Who Created Television? It’s…
I recently learned that the Etch A Sketch toy had been created by a Frenchman. If you want to know, in France, we call it “l’Écran magique” (the magic screen). As I wanted to know a bit more about that, I started researching: Who Created the Etch A Sketch? A French electrician employed by Lincrusta…
I love classic recipes, great ones that work every time. For the brownies, I love Katherine Hepburn’s, it’s always a success. After multiple disappointing attempts with chocolate chip cookies, I started to go back to the source. Here are my findings: Who created the Chocolate Chip Cookie? It turns out that the story of the…
A recent article from the Guardian recently stated that, even if the numbers are far behind streaming, obviously, the vinyl sales in the US are up 21.7% for the first half of 2023. They have been growing for a few years now to a really high point. It’s something I don’t really understand as the…
I recently realized that the first time the superhero The Flash used his famous cosmic treadmill was in a comic book published in 1961. Just a fun fact. The thing is, as I never really gave a thought about the treadmill, I didn’t know how old this apparatus was. This naturally led me to look…
I was reading in the local news about a half-marathon that took place the previous weekend. I didn’t know they ran only half the distance. In fact, I don’t even know why they run that long. Well, it was time for me to get educated on the subject! What was the First Marathon? Looking at…
While researching my article about the first video game, I naturally stumbled upon the history of gaming consoles. Having played with an Atari 2600 as a kid, I’m a bit familiar with the time before Nintendo and Sega, but not to the point of being considered knowledgeable. So, I wanted to change that a little and…
I recently wrote about the invention of the toaster. In this article, I wrote about the toaster coming from the Copeman Electric Stove Company. I realized that I didn’t cover the invention of the electric stove and thought it would be a good companion article. So, here we go. Who Created the Electric Stove? From…
I recently moved to a new house and, as I’m still unpacking my things, I found my last VHS tapes. One is a documentary about The X-Files (I don’t remember where it came from), and the other is the first season of South Park. I got rid of the rest a long time ago, replacing…
