WHAT WE FOUND
Illustration of a man in an attic drawing caricatures by window light
The Man Who Risked His Life Mocking the Nazis
If you were hiding from the Nazis in an attic, you’d probably be focused on staying quiet and surviving. This guy spent two years making a magazine that mocked them instead. Balls of steel. ›

The Crown Jewels of Planet Earth

The Wealthiest Musicians in the World
Belting out a song in the car feels great. Getting paid for it feels even better, and these five have been paid very, very well. Show me the money. ›

The Car-Proof Beetle That Scientists Want to Use as Aircraft Armor
It’s quite easy to squash a bug with your shoe, this one however, not so much. In fact, some of the cleverest people around are now studying them instead, and taking notes. Built different. ›
 
TOP SHELF
The Aston Martin that changed everything. What causes aging, and are lobsters really immortal? How one pickpocket changed policing forever. Why ancient doctors prescribed disgusting remedies. The best restaurants in Hollywood.
 
COOL IMAGE
