Dangers of Street Racing
Aside from the most obvious catastrophe of losing one's life, the dangers of street racing have amassed greatly since the introduction of inexpensive vehicles with extraordinary horse power and speedometers easily reaching past 150. Cars moving so fast you can't even see them—nor control them—just isn't what they were built for, and the dangers of street racing proves this fact. Unlike popular belief, this is not how any of the top NASCAR drivers initiated their careers, in all likelihood street racing will only end your career, or at least your driving one when your license gets revoked.

Best Alien Documentaries on Netflix
The potential for alien life has continuously fascinated the human race, so much so that it has garnered a multitude of followers far and wide in search of answers and to better the truths that surround it. While alien life may not be a proven scientific fact, the obvious notion everyone seems to take (often believing in it, or not) is that the total vastness of space and infinite dimensions of time in themselves stipulate the answer we all seek: yes. Life outside our known realms certainly may exist, but does it actually, though? This is why documentaries and polls are necessary; just look at CNN's own opinion piece recorded last January, called "Does alien life exist?" The article seems to pinpoint various evidences and theories ranging from past to present on what extraterrestrial life might truly mean, but nowhere does it seem there to debate or question the actual reality of their existence.

We’ve all been angry or ticked off by our mothers at least once or twice throughout our long family histories, but the following were certain individuals who were either so pissed off at their mothers that it eventually bred their serial killer instincts, or a lifetime of abuse led them to hate their mothers with a passion.

Viewing a serial killer's youth, especially those who came from sexually or physically abusive parents, is indicative of one of the few ways that famous serial killers chose their targets.

Youngest Players in Major League Soccer
If you missed the oldest players in Major League Soccer, I suggest you check that out right now. The youngest, however, aren't as skilled or as noteworthy as the oldest, and tend to be ignored more so than most for their relative newness on the pitch and on their particularly club. Whether they're good players or not isn't necessarily what adds them to the list; it's about their history not just in MLS, but for the game of soccer itself. In addition, you also have to question if they brought their squads major accolades, or led them to a particular championship.

Strange Hangover Cures That Actually Work
Nobody likes a hangover. Problem is, there isn't much in the form of aid or advice for cleansing this deteriorating phenomena. We all like to drink (hopefully not too much), and more often than not, hangovers are the result of far too much drinking when a person either hasn't eaten, hydrated enough, or simply lacks responsibility in knowing when to stop. For these reasons, hangovers ensue with the wrath of God behind them. Fortunately, there are a host of ways to remedy your pain, just not all of them are for everyone.

How Weed Affects Our Dreams
As deeper and more embedded research unlocks the secrets in the marijuana plant itself, insight into how weed consumption affects our dreams have been greatly explored. What most of these studies have come to show, however, is that cannabis may actually reduce the likelihood for one to have a dream, more accurately put: marijuana limits an individual’s REM sleep. Thanks to the 2008 study, we now know that heavy marijuana use does, in fact, disturb one's natural sleep cycle. This is what is necessary for one to even have a dream in the first place: Rapid Eye Movement requires a person to be in a very deep and natural slumber.

Best Beer for Wine Lovers
Through the ages, beer has seen many changes from Meade and Guinness, to prohibition and craft brews. Everything you could ever want from your alcoholic beverage can be found or fashioned into an incredibly tasting brew that steals your taste buds away within every sip. That’s the awesome power that only beer and it's many variations can provide: an unusual mixture of flavors that range far and wide, to the exotic and domestic. Maybe it's for the love of beer, or maybe the liquid itself is just that versatile. It doesn't matter because the truth is beer and wine have gone together long since forever.

Oldest Players in Major League Soccer History
We wouldn't readily look up to the oldest athlete on the team, but they are easily the best role models we may ever get a chance to meet off the pitch, field, or court—wherever your athletics may reside. As for football, or more commonly referred to as soccer, history seamlessly weaves into the fabric of the sport itself, more so than most (besides maybe baseball). This entails that footballers, the players who sidestep and dribble across the pitch in protection of the soccer ball, have somewhat of an airy freedom for their preferred stay within the MLS. From across the ages, the men listed as follows have been as much portraying the value of the sport itself as they have been protecting it.

Greatest Premier League Defenders of All Time
Truly memorable names, like that of Arsene Wenger and Steve Bruce, will be written into history as some of the most powerhouse defenders ever to take on the Premier League. The following identities, whether by way of propagating the biggest Premier League upsets of 2017, or simply through a long historical edifice like those of Bruce and Wenger, have pushed the bounds in strategic defensive play and, ultimately, have altered the game itself. There's only so much a defender can do in the heat of the moment, but these are the players that truly test their own skills and that of the players' around them, as well.

Reasons Why Veterans Go Back to War
Do veterans really need to reason why they go back to war? Every single vet among the myriad of unsung heroes have experienced the battlefield in different ways, few ever returning as the same person they had left as. Eventually, as seen by caseloads of Vietnam veterans, combat and war itself are then interpreted more as a medium for psychological peace, escapism, or spiritual closure than anything else. If you're not a service member yourself, imagine being sent overseas with a group of your most valued friendships, only to see much and more in the form of degradation, painful loss, and horrors with unimaginable dimensions. Found within the deepest bowels of every service member is the courage to not only face these evils again and again, but to stamp them out in their every added rendition, which is probably the best you'll get in the form of reasons why veterans go back to war.
